It is very homogeneous out here in terms of ethnic background. The only black people I have ever seen are in Makati and Malate and are Americans.
Quezon City is huge. There is Ratsky there (have not been to this one, only the one in Malate) and Laffline is always fun. Greenhills is a massive shopping mall in QC-you can find almost anything. Will you have a driver? I would take a trip to Malate for the nightlife....

Quezon City is a wonderful place, I dont usually hang out there coz its always traffic out there, also check out makati and Alabang while your there those are the "gimmick" places, as what, we the Filipinos call the night life. Check out the ff places in makati:
Glorietta 4
Greenbelt 3 ( a must!)
Venezia Bar
Alabang:
Alabang Town Center
You can also go to 5 star hotels , they have nice bars there...
As for modelling, yup why not try it while you're there most models in the Philippines are Phil-Ams.
Goodluck!

there are very few black people in country, philippine isn't a big fan of black skinned people. they adore porcelaine white skinned. if you know what i mean. unless you are very pretty despite of your skin color and has a vibrant personality you'll be o.k. i don't consider modelling is a big thing. though filipino in general watch T.V. and listens to showbiz gossips all day long. Nightlife i good depends on the locations and kind of people you're going . Makati, malate, and Quezon CIty

Hi I'm from Fairview and I pass through Don Antonio on my way home everyday. There are a lot of subdivisions within the Don Antonio vicinity namely Mapayapa 1, 2 & 3, Ferndale, CB Townhomes, Magreville, BF Homes QC. Hope this helps!

There are black people in QC. A few were born that way and the rest turned black from being exposed to the vile soot exhaust of the jeepneys and buses on QC's streets for several years. LOL, only if it weren't true. Bring your inhaler.

modeling for a dark skinned person NO!(sorry but filipinos adore light skinned people more. nothing racist just a matter of preference) You will do good if your a rapper or a comedian.
Yes, there are black people but mostly due to too much exposure to the sun and exhaust from the jeepneys and taxis..
