Overnight Stay in Manila before flying to Kota Kinabalu

I have been looking for travel to any part in Asia where the fare should be 5,000 phil pesos or 100 usd and found this from Air Asia :

Manila to Kota Kinabalu and back to Manila for exactly 5,050 only.

We are living in the province(Bicol) so the next thing I did was to look for a sale equivalent to bus fare and so lucky I got from Cebu Pacific only 998 for one way fare, even lesser than a bus fare.

Our flight to Kota Kinabalu upon is 7:30 am we decided to fly to Manila a day before since international travel from Manila requires to be at the airport at least 4 hrs before boarding time . My daughter book us at Belmont Hotel. Oh we just need a roof for the night,. a small inn will do , Thanks Rea for choosing Belmont for us. This is already a staycation

Mayon is on alert level 2 at the time of our flight but when we arrived Manila alert level was raised to 3 . Mayon is now spewing ashes and evacuation from danger zone is advised. .

Mayon volcano at the background . She is so beautiful but sometimes dangerous

The Cebu Pacific arrives on time and we landed at 8:30. We have plenty if time , check in is at 2 pm. After eating breakfast we decided to walk from NAIA 3 to Belmont hotel thru runway Manila.

from NAIA 3 to Belmont hotel is a 5 minute walk passing thru runway Manila

We paid 500 pesos for an early check in . The room has a nice view of the nearby establishment, room is spacious and clean . This is a good deal for 3,800 pesos.

we just need a roof for the night but thanks Rea for booking this for us, an unplanned staycation

In the afternoon we enjoyed the roof top pool and have some refreshment

at night my daughter pick us up for dinner. Newport mall is walking distance. The kuhol from Crisostomo is so expensive , oh we have a lot of this in Tinambac, kuhol reminds me of martial law time when Imelda spreads the golden kuhol to farmers, only to be a pest in riceland until today
