Take advantage of these Christmas staycation offers before January ends

MANILA, Philippines – This is Christmas in Manila: bright lights, joyous gatherings, hearty eats… as well as crushing crowds, choking traffic, and general holiday-induced stress. Now that you’ve successfully avoided the crowds and fulfilled all your holiday responsibilities (eg, holiday shopping and must-attend social gatherings), it’s time to turn the tables around and treat yourself.
