Angeles A couple of events in 1991 could have seen the collapse of the sprawling city of Angeles, north of Manila. Frightened off by something even it couldn't contain, the U.S. Air Force closed its Clark Air Base following the eruption, leaving the city's many 'hotels' without clientele. But the residents and businesses of Angeles proved more resilient than was first thought. Angeles is a two hour bus trip from Manila. Many rich tourists have thrown the pesos around, so you can expect to be hassled for extra money.
Some travelers report having an unpleasant time after refusing to pay extra to the boatmen.
