Paco Park Church or St. Pancratius Chapel

Again this is one of the edifices built during the Spanish regime completed in 1820. It is actually a former municipal cemetery for the well-heeled and established aristocratic Spanish families.
On December 30, 1896, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, was interred in Paco Park after his execution in Bagumbayan (Luneta). In 1966, the park was converted into a national park during the term of President Diosdado Macapagal. The church has a nice façade and an egg-shaped ceiling. It is very small and ideal for intimate weddings. The chapel is under the care of the Vincentian fathers who also manage the nearby Adamson University.

Global City, the Fort
Bonifacio High Street is a one of a kind promenade located in the City Center of Bonifacio Global City, whose anchor is its 40-meter wide and almost a kilometer long activity park. It starts with a sleek mix of unique and authentic restaurants and retail shops found at Serendra, then crosses to a twin boulevard of popular restaurants and rows of flagship stores of various brands, which stretches all the way to Third Avenue. Well-designed corporate office spaces are also found at the second floor of Bonifacio High Street, overlooking the open-air activity park below.

Tiendesitas
Tiendesitas in Pasig City is a nice shopping destination. It sits on a 30,00O square meter area and houses twelve pavillons which are of Maranao-inspired architecture.
The whole complex is very stylish and is a novel interpretation of the conventional bahay kubo. More than 450 shops are selling speciality products from all over the Philippines. The stores are grouped in “villages” according to the products they sell. You have the food and delicacies village, the antiques village, the fashion village, furniture and furnishings village, handicrafts village, pet village and a garden village.

The Museo Pambata
The Museo Pambata is a children's interactive museum, the first of its kind in the Philippines. It is in a sense an alternative to the formal classroom environment where learning resembles a one-way street – the teacher imparts knowledge and the students absorb it. In Museo Pambata, children can use their total senses and learn various concepts at their own pace. It excites the minds of the young, inspires them to learn more, and most importantly revitalizes what child learning should be – fun and exciting!

The National Museum
The National Museum visual arts collection is organized according to phrases taken from the National Anthem. This room introduces the scope of the history of art in the Philippines through a timeline.

Intramuros
The old capital of Manila, was built in 1571. It remains a monumental, if ruined, relic of the Spanish period in Philippine history. It is a city within a city, separated from the rest of Manila by its crumbling walls. This ancient capital had well-planned streets, plazas, the Governor's Palace and churches. However, many buildings were reduced to shambles in World War II.
