Metropolitan Manila encompasses six cities and 12 towns. Located on Manila Bay in the South China Sea, and bisected by the Pasig River, the capital of the Philippines is historic and modern, rich and poor. A popular sight is the walled area called Intramuros. The capital during Spanish colonization, Intramuros has retained old dungeons and gunpowder rooms but added art galleries and theaters. The city is filled with museums, shops, parks and churches, plus enough nightlife to last until dawn.

Yes, we all know they have a lot of flowers but this is to say that they also have lots of leaves (cypress, eucalyptus, monstera deliciosa, dragon tail, etc.) They have wreath materials, floral materials, vases and pots in the nearby stores. I was not able to find herb leaves though. I was hoping but none. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place hahaha
