TIENDESITAS
The retail therapy haven along C5 Road probably inspires couples to be affectionate in plain sight. The strip facing C5 is where some couples allegedly get mushy. We have to admit, though, that this make-out spot pick has us scratching our heads in wonder. But a nighttime frequenter reports action-packed sightings, "usually in the gazebos shaped like horse-drawn carts or calesas facing C5, or on the wooden benches at the exhibit halls and between the pasilyos when there's no tiangge or exhibit going on, when the lights are out at night."
UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES (UP) SUNKEN GARDEN
As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Juan or Juana a dull kid." This five-hectare garden (a vast grassy lot surrounded by trees), located inside the University of the Philippines' Diliman, Quezon City campus has kept its reputation as a make-out spot despite the presence of security guards and their flashlights at night. A UP student, who refused to be named, said, "Couples sit on the benches around the Sunken Garden at sundown. When it's dark, they move to the center of the garden." We give that student a grade of "1" for the info. It is also alleged that many mornings after have bore witness to used condoms strewn all over this grassy lovers' paradise-- good news because it's proof of the practice of safe sex on campus premises, and perhaps bad news because of, well, littering violations.
SPOT.ph wants to know: Know of any other Manila make-out hotspots not on this list?
