NEW MANILA TOUR (approximately 6 hours)
(Guaranteed minimum of 2 full-paying persons)
Net per person – PHP4,100.00 (with lunch)
​
The other half of Manila is a modern metropolis which is gaining more importance as a major artery in the financial life stream of the country. The first stop is the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, a reclaimed land situated along Roxas Boulevard, reminiscent of the glorious years of the Marcoses. The drive through the complex starts with a glance of the fountain adorned Cultural Center of the Philippines, the country’s seat of cultural awareness. Then move on to the Philippine International Convention Center and Folk Arts Theater which are favorite venues for both local and international events, concerts and performances. Adjacent to the structures are the Coconut Palace, a building made mostly of coconut materials and Sofitel Philippine Plaza, a deluxe hotel which gives a magnificent view of the Manila Bay. Tour then proceeds to the financial and commercial center of Makati. Visit the famous Ayala Museum. Forming the core of the museum’s historical collections are sixty handcrafted dioramas that chronicle the rich tapestry of Philippine history. It also features a one-of-a-kind boat gallery showcasing miniatures of some of the watercrafts that contributed to the development of Philippine maritime trade and colonial economy. Archaeological and ethnographic objects from the country’s northern and southern communities complement the historical collection. The fine arts collection features important works by three painters considered pioneers in Philippine art – Juan Luna (1857-1899), Fernando Amorsolo (1882-1972) and Fernando Zobel (1924- 1984). The last stop is the American Memorial Cemetery, the largest and most beautiful outside continental U.S. The return trip takes you down Roxas Boulevard by the fabled Manila Bay.
