Red Crab restaurant, Greenbelt Mall. Makati Cinema Square Mall: Airsoft Store, iphone 5 repair, Armscor Shooting Range, Makati Square basement level. Malou's Place, Oriental Restaurant, Makati Square basement level. Local massage parlour on Burgos Street. Philippines has a gun culture and shooting sports are popular, and accepted like any other sports activity. I tried the Armscor MAPP1 9mm (aka Tanfoglio Force or CZ 75 copy), and Armcor 1911 in .40 S&W;. The Armscor range and gun hire prices at the time were PHP1500 each firearm. Comes with paper targets, eye, and ear protection, and you are supervised by a range and safety officer. Pistols came with 50 rounds of factory lead reloads, pump action shotguns came with 12 rounds. I did not try the shotgun. This was actually a well priced and modern indoor range at the time, with good customer service and helpful staff. Other ranges I investigated were more expensive, and had lower standards. Regarding the street people in Makati Manila, I bought many of them rice and stir fry dinners and clean drinking water. I interviewed a few of them off camera and they all confirmed they had come to that area for the holiday and tourist season to try beg for money from foreigners. They were there by choice, and went back to their provinces after new years. Travel Tips: Everyone spoke English and generally very friendly. Its important to have photo ID for flights, hotels, and if police ask. Its common for taxi drivers in Manila to try rip you off. Ask them nicely to put the meter on, or negotiate the price from the start if you know what it costs to your location. Otherwise find another taxi! Shopping mall culture, locals love the mall for the aircon and to get out of the heat. Locals often inflate prices for foreigners and tourists. Haggle and negotiate nicely. Be tough, but be respectful and polite about it. Shop around, you can often get a better price. "Tip" can also mean bribe, so don't be afraid to ask what you're paying for upfront. Locals often do things to try help you, but then expect a tip. The average basic worker earns PHP 300 a day. So tipping PHP 20 - 50 is fine.
