One cannot be blamed for mistaking the whole place looks like a small city in China. Construction is still going on at a fast pace, I guess it will be a mtter of just a few years before it turn into another mainland city in China.

Most filipinos have a nut loose, throwing communist ideas and all shit .. and recently the local gang managed to shut down a restaurant that had the menu in Chinese, and supposedly had a notice saying 'for Chinese only'
And here's proof a moron - in a China Made bus
Specifically targeting PRC workers in Manila ! And even a senator telling the idiots there's like more than 50,000 filipinos working illegally in China, lots minus even a work permit, and if China starts deporting them who will lose ? But the local idiots just can't listen to the voice of reason.

I have zero local knowledge on Manila and might be travelling solo.
So my questions are:
1) is I'm Hotel a good hotel? Saw that it was near Royal.
2) are the nightlife scene closely located? Do I need to grab or can I just walk from place to place?
3) shld I even bother going to the KTVs as I will be traveling solo or just stick to known FL pick up sites like Royal, LA Cafe etc..
TIA.

Yep, it's good. Take note Makati has two sides, the good and clean side, and of course, the wild west. So unless you are adventurous, don't try to walk around. But from the map, looks like ok to walk.
Just take basic precautions, use one of this - to keep your valuables hidden, as P Burgos has a lot of seemingly harmless people loitering, offering this and that but I trust nobody. Get a light Uniqlo jacket to hide the money pouch, better safe than sorry !
Night life nearby ? The P Burgos strip of bars is just there. also walking distance. The A Venue mall has a super market, a ATM, money changer etc.
And some food joints.
Also there's a Wendys around there
For 3, are you sure you can do a lot in 3 days ?
LA Cafe is in Malate.
KTVs ? Nothing I recall in the vicinity, and Manila traffic can take 1 hour just to get from Makati to East Asia or LA Cafe, or longer, but rarely less unless it is very late in the night.
Also use Grab as much as possible.
Unrelated - An FL From La Union, up north. Only in PH will a 18 year old have tattoos that have worn off- likely she got it when she was 15 ? And what's funny in the picture ? Some guy's hand
PS, I am not doing anything these days, so free with my replies
