                <description><![CDATA[Manila International Airport (MNL) has 3 terminals: Terminal 1 is the old MNL terminal where most airlines dock. A small domestic terminal exists for flights within the Philippines.  Terminal 2 is a modern facility strictly for Philippine Airlines international flights. Terminal 3 is supposed to be world class but yet to open due to controversies and structural integrity, according to news reports. <br><br>The airport in general is clean with courteous employees who understand and speak English. If a tourist suspects dishonesty or rudeness, proceed and report him/her to airport authorities or supervisors. <br><br>Generally, Filipinos are very helpful and hospitable.  However, like in any other country, one may encounter unscrupulous personnel so always be attentive and alert. Security is heavy yet expedient. I'd rather be checked a hundred times than be harmed by murderous fanatics...so good job Manila International Airport thus far.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Manila is a city of contrasts: a work-in-progress modern jungle stifled by corruption.  From the descending plane, you will see squatters alongside the runway. There are 3 airport terminals. Terminal 1 is the old MNL terminal where most airlines dock. Terminal 2 is new and modern facility that only serves Philippine Airlines. Terminal 3 should be opening soon and it is supposed to be world class. Outside the airport, you can visit remnants of bombed World War II buildings such as the Ayuntamiento next to the Manila Cathedral. To this day, it stands unrestored.]]></description>
