Peninsula is a great hotel in Makati. Since you're only there for a few days, probably best to stick in the metro manila area. Check out some of the malls, like Mall of Asia or Trinoma, or any of the malls around the Makati/Pasig City area. It's ultra modern and there are a tone of places to eat everywhere.
I would suggest going to Eastwood area to hang out for drinks and good food. Lots of tourists in that area but you probably want to avoid staying out too long as it should be getting pretty intensely hot. If you're feeling adventurous you could try and eat some street food... Bourdain style, or take the trike to a main road and ride the jeepney through the polluted streets of the big city.
There are also plenty of legitimate, and illegitimate massage places in Quezon city and lots of historical places, museums, and monuments to check out. Luckily pretty much everyone speaks English and most people are more than happy to direct you the right way if you happen to get lost.
