I've spend 2 nights in manila, so no expert.
Always take a meter taxi, just say "metro" before you step in, they are dirt cheap. If possible ride the LRT, especially late afternoon, Manila is one big traffic jam.
Manila baywalk is nice for dinner and a few beers, listening to live bands.
About 10pm starts the fun upstairs in LA café. Live bands and lots of cute freelancers. Don't bother downstairs, quality of women is low and hard to get a beer.
I didn't go to the gogo's, but there are some opposite LA café and any cab can take you to the EDSA complex.
For shopping go to Baclaran market, take the LRT.
My best advice; go to AC if possible.
