AC is great if you wanna stretch your budget, vs manila / Makati.
3k will get you LT in AC vs ST in manila.
After all, costs are high in Manila, taxi meter alone can shoot to 1000 peso when stuck in traffic.

Or the bros here suggest any better options around 50-100 range/night in that area.

look up agoda, choices are lot. My budget is below 50$ but I am planning to impress anybody. If you like, try Citadel- no good room service but right at P Burgos.

any talk of LT can become ST if the girl don't fancy you.
I was told EA is good. Never been there yet.

Changing money is a bit of drama in Manila as there are strangers loitering around money changer, especially those outside malls.
give me creeps. If you use May bank, there is no atm fee. Dba/posb has no or low fee for Bpi (I forgot .. ), draw maximum 10k per withdrawal. Rates not bad but safer.

You can buy SIM card in lucky plaza.
globe vs smart - data, as of now, Globe seems to have better speed. Though they also have dead spots even in Makati
