Arts & Culture
Best-kept museum I've so far been to in the Philippines - maybe because of its comparably limited space, its modern design, and brilliant exhibit lay-out. The only downside may be that the staff isn't readily available, and that the museum is not exactly the place to tour vacationers around especially if they are disabled or are really looking to bring home souvenirs. But it is, in general, a good museum to visit for their well-curated content, especially if you don't mind exploring solo.

It displays the history of the Philippines. From tusks, jars, trading, weapons, beliefs, cultural clothes and instruments, It has a lot of information relating to the anthropology of our country. It also has the Baybayin, the ancient historical writings of Filipinos, yet not generally understood.

Shopping
Robinson's is a friendly and relaxing shopping mall. They have a nice supermarket and restaurants, as well as electrical stores and a department store etc. It is air conditioned. I wish they would play more music as the music sounds great on their acoustics. If you need to sit down, the best place to go to is the food court, where you can relax in a friendly environment.

Entertainment & Activities
The place is fun with friends and family. Try their attraction promo 3 and 4 so that you can have more fun, or else you might get bored and not find it interesting...
Feeding the penguins was one of my favorite experience.
Sea lion show, bird shows and, even the shark and Ray tank was one of the things which I liked the most.
The whole experience was one of a kind and you should give a try.

Parks & Nature
A good place to just hangout. Good place for cheap dates, walk-on-the-park dates or to just see the fountain show. Rizal's monument is usually crowded with people taking selfies. Nice place for family picnics with a tight budget, bring your own food for the food stalls are very expensive.
