I have a question for the Manila locals out there.

I am an English expat, married to a Pilipina who regularly travels (2or 3 times monthly) from Hong Kong to Manila and then onto my 'home' in Palawan to be with my wife and family.
A new Cebu Pacific service has opened from Guangzhou direct to Manila which is far more convenient for me.

Why am I posting this here I can sense you asking???????

Here is my dilema.....

My flight arrives at 12.30a.m. into NAIA, but my flight to Puerto Princesa leaves from the domestic terminal at 8am (6am check-in).

Is there a convenient bar I can go to (with my carry on luggage) where I can get some food and a few beers, have some friendly conversation, where I can feel SAFE to pass away the 5 hours or so between flights?

This is not a matter of that I don't want to pay out for a hotel, it's more a convenience thing....taxi to my usual hotel (Cherry Blossoms, Ermita), checking in, trying to sleep, checking out, taxi back to the airport....all wastes maybe another 2 hours.
I hope you get my point here.

All suggestions gratefully received.
