Metro Manila, also known as the National Capital Region, is the Philippines' central hub for culture, economics, governance, and trade. Sixteen cities and one municipality make up this dense urban region, which is now considered as the 11th most populous metropolis in the world.
Manila is also one of the main gateways to the Philippines. Ninoy Aquino International Airport connects domestic flights and serves as jumping point to the smaller airports in the country. If you're coming from abroad and are headed to the pristine beaches of Coron or Boracay, you'll be most likely stopping by Manila in between flights.

Whether you're in Manila for a prolonged layover or staying for a short break, make the most out of your visit by doing these quintessential activities every first-time visitor must do.

There are currently 60 hotels, 23 bed and breakfast inns, and 24 specialty lodgings in Makati City. But just as we thought Makati has already enough accommodation options, a 348-room hotel recently opened its doors at the heart of Makati's Central Business District.

Holiday Inn and Suites Makati, the first purposely-built Holiday Inn in the country, sets itself apart from other Makati hotels by encouraging its regular corporate guests to bring their families along for a staycation.

Vacation at Bantayan Island, Cebu

 

White Sands at Bantayan Island

by Cityzen | Chris Mallari

There’s nothing more I crave for every start of the summer (besides a good meal and ice cream) than going to the beach.  It literally beckons me.  It’s a family tradition and one that I’ve kept alive now that I have my own family.  This year, we decided to visit Bantayan Island which is just a bit north-west of Cebu in the Visayan Sea.

Getting There
First, you will need to fly to Cebu unless you’re already there. From Manila, we took a very early flight to Cebu so that we could get to the island by noon. Once we arrived at the airport we headed straight to the taxi stand. You’ll head to the North Bus terminal and take a bus to Hagnaya. The bus ride will take about 3 hours so make sure to pack some snacks.  The taxi ride will cost you about P120 – P150, while the bus ride will cost P150 as of today’s writing.
