I am planning a trip to the Islands this year .. advices ? First time there .

So far I have a few things down
1. Pinalove account
2. ATM or Bring cash to exchange ?
3. Was planning on staying at Makati first - or any other areas better ? Quality and availability of accommodation and girls would be priority
4. Would definitely check bars - but will try non pro pickup first - tips appreciated..

Cheers
