This is the seat of Philippine Government where most national offices are located
including the Malacaan Palace, Supreme Court, Senate of the Philippines and the
House of Representatives. The region is collectively known as Metro Manila which
covers the City of Manila and other 15 cities surrounding it.
Most international visitors fly to Manila through the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport located along the boundary between Pasay City and Paraaque City. Those
who opt for sea travel may also enter the region through the Manila Seaport which is
also the chief seaport in the country.

Metro Manila is the busiest region in the Philippines; there is no shortage of

accommodations, restaurants, shopping centers and entertainment venues for both
residents and visitors. It is a cornucopia of different cultures, traditions and culinary
delights so there is no distinct specialty in the region.
