The streets around Baclaran Church come alive in the evening with vendors selling fish balls, kikiam, and isaw for PHP 10 to 30 per stick.

Solid rundown. One thing I'd add from a past trip: at Seaside Dampa, haggle the seafood price before they weigh it, and confirm the cooking fee per dish up front since it varies by stall. Also worth noting the dampa stalls close earlier than the 22:00 listed on slow weeknights, so don't push a late dinner there.

Try the batchoy and puto bumbong stalls near Pasay Rotonda during the Christmas season, they're seasonal but worth timing a visit around.

The guide nails Cartimar, but I'd add the pork asado rice at the old-school stall near the wet market side, not just the noodle spots.

Solid plan overall, though I'd swap the Day 2 CCP start to before 10 AM since Roxas Boulevard traffic gets brutal by mid-morning.

Day 2 CCP run is tight; I'd slot PICC's grand staircase photo stop before noon since guards shoo loiterers after tours start.
