but not until two weeks ago, when i received an email inviting me for a tour by the streetwalker and uber witty tour guide Ivan Man Dy of Old Manila Walks. along with other travel bloggers byahilo, ironwulf, lagalog, lawstude and nina plus other balikbayans, travelers and foreign tourists.
it was a privilege to have met Ivan and took part of this tour invite. he's also famous for touring Anthony Bourdain on a food trip in Binondo for the international culinary and cultural adventure program No Reservations.
up next comes a series of posts of the Power Palace and a shot of Beer tour. that may lead you to wondering if we get the chance to see the president.

I went there before I think I was only 10 , but can't remember anything, except for Imelda's shoe collection... hmmm
I think you could see the shoes collection of Mrs. Marcos. :) I wish I could have such a huge collection too...lol. Looking forward to seeing the interior of the palace.
Its great you got to go on the tour! looks like a great guide!

Wow very lucky to be invited...i wanted to visit malacanang again it was 20 years ago then...i hope u took a pic of imelda`s shoeses...hahaah...
you read my mind (hehe). so, did you get to meet GMA?:P
my first visit to the palace was in the late 80's pa yata. Tita Cory was president, and i brought American friends there [to see Imelda's shoes haha].
Heard so many good reviews about Ivan and his walking tours. Would love to join one of his tours one day. With Ivan and fellow travel bloggers with you, that must have been a great excursion!
Wow, na-meet mo na si IVAN. Watched him sa food trip with Anthony Burdain, galing niya! Sana di mo na binitin next post of Power Palace and.. what's this? a shot of Beer tour? post it na, now na!
