Heading to the Philippines in February for A couple of weeks

Sorry no help, but also planning a trip there. I am interested in fishing while there, in particular for Giant Trevalle.

Following.

Get the fuck out of Manila for a long as possible. Boracay and Palawan are essential.

The cities are hellish, unless you live in The Fort, which is the only pedestrian-friendly place in the Philippines.

They have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, though I guess Chinatown in Manila is worth a stroll. A stroll, singular. It's more picturesque a shambles than the rest, since it's occupied by Chinese and not flips, who have never been city people the way the Chinese are.

Hows it compare to first tier Chinese Cities in terms of density/pollution? I quite like cities, I've been meaning to visit Jakarta as well I've heard it's crazy

If you're here in Feb you're right in time for the Philippine cup finals. It will run through the whole month of Feb. Best of 7 match between the best 2 teams in Philippine basketball. However, you are out of luck with boxing. There are no big fights coming up on the first few months of 2017. Idk about MMA though. I don't follow our MMA scene here. For party beaches, avoid boracay. Panglao, Bohol is the patrician choice for a party beach. For diving/snorkeling, el nido, Panglao, oslob. For island hopping, el nido, Britannia islands.

Cool thanks for the advice, I was hoping boxing would be similar to muay Thai in Thailand where there is constant small fights run out of one place but i suppose I over estimated the popularity of boxing.
