Matinan- sorry I don't have any info about the EVA lounge- why not call their 800 number on their website- I'm sure they can answer your question.

if you are a nature lover and if you are going up to baguio, you might as well have a side trip to sagada, mt. province. it's a 6-hour trip from baguio. you will surely enjoy the caves. and then have a 2-hour bus ride to banaue ifugao so you can see the world famous banaue rice terraces, you can also see a lot of beautiful sights along the way. you can go to the beaches of la union, or go see the hundred islands of pangasinan before heading off to manila. if your travel is this march, enjoy eating lots of fruits, mangoes are in season right now. have a fun trip.

Baguio is out for this trip - they have had an epidemic there- so too risky to go there now.

Will not have time to visit the rice terraces- our schedule is jam packed as it is.

Yeah, That;s right Baguio is pretty much not safe these days. But watch out, packages might be higher this year since most tourists are planning to visit the Philippines because of the recent Tsunami tragedy of previous hot Asian tour spots like Thailand and Indonesia. But don't worry, this place (Philippines) actually has lots of things to offer than other overrated Asian spots.

I have posted my trip report- go to the Asia site and look for "trip report for manila". Its about half finished at this point- I'm adding to it each day.
