Welcome to Metro Manila Philippines

The City of Manila Philippines or in Filipino, Lungsod ng Maynila, is the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines located in the west coast of the island of Luzon.

Up until World War II, Manila was considered one of the most beautiful cities in Asia but the war put the city into complete ruins. It was the second most destroyed city after Warsaw, Poland.

But this modern capital-city is the premier Christian city of Asia and considered as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world with a population of over 1.5 million people.

Historic, bustling, awe-inspiring, Manila is a blend of cultures and flavors that offers an endless serving of places to see, sights to behold, and experiences to never forget.
