1226 Makati City,
Metro Manila,

any recommendations for things to see, places to eat, hang out in and around these areas? As said, given the whole day free in bangkok on Sunday, i can go a little further afield to see stuff (want to see a Buddhist temple at least and eat local food)

any advice much appreciated!
The Peninsula is a good hotel. When you get to their lobby look up at the ceiling, it looks great at night.

If you like shopping and eating stick to the nicer areas like Makati or The Fort. The high end malls like Greenbelt 5 are truly high end and better than anything Canada has to offer.

Lots to recommend but you need to be more specific.
