Join us and stand a chance to visit Manila and enjoy its many sights and sounds, and of course, its women.

When you are in the Philippines, it is highly recommended that you visit Manila. It is the country’s capital and is the most densely populated city in the world. It has the greatest number of people in proportion to its size.

Despite being densely populated, Metro Manila does offer many sights and sounds that any budding vacationer will most certainly enjoy. The city, as the country was occupied by Spain for more than 300 years, has lots of sights that are evidently influenced by Spain.

Baroque churches, for example, can be found in the city. The San Agustin Church of Paoay is one of the most well-known Baroque churches in the country. This type of architecture is also called Earthquake Baroque due to the fact that the Philippines experiences earthquakes more often than other countries and the churches had to be styled in Earthquake Baroque to be able to withstand the tremors.

Aside from historic Baroque structures, Manila also features modern skyscrapers and high-rise buildings like the ones in BGC or Bonifacio Global City. If you fancy a bit of fine dining, good music, bars, and malls, then this is the place to go. Women in Manila will surely love a romantic dinner for two in this modern city.

The famous walled city of Intramuros is also a popular tourist destination in Manila. The fortress was built by the Spanish as a defensive structure for when Fort Santiago gets invaded. The Fortifications of Manila, as it is also known, was declared as a National Cultural Treasure of the Philippines by the National Museum of the Philippines. San Agustin Church can be found within this walled city.

Rizal Park was built in commemoration of Jose Rizal, the country’s national hero, for his bravery and dedication to oppose Spanish rule during the Spanish era.
