Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

Walter Mart community malls, as observed by Tutubi last year, were open even during Holy Thursday and Good Friday but no information if theaters/cinemas were open for movie screenings.
anonymous, i believe market! market! follows the same holy week schedule i listed above. it's a joint venture of the ayalas and gaisano groups (AFAIK). almost all makati malls are ayala-owned except SM makati of course and Waltermart makati on pasong tamo/pasay road in front of don bosco
