An air-conditioned walkway bridge between NAIA terminal 3 and Newport City. Newport City houses several hotels which are just across the road from the airport, and offers excellent accommodation especially for those who want to avoid traffic jams on their way to the airport. The hotel would just be a few minutes walk to the airport. The restaurants at Terminal 3 offers more affordable meals compared to the restaurants at Newport City. If you stay at any of the hotels at Newport City and you prefer more affordable meals, you can leisurely pass through the pedestrian bridge and get a meal at one of the restos at NAIA Terminal 3.

The University of the Philippines (UP) is home and alma mater to some of the country's best and brightest. It has been on the road to putting up new buildings and infrastructure in recent years due to newly found funding from the private sector. Shown in the picture is the UP Ampitheater, one of the more recent structures in the campus. The UP loop is a popular destination for joggers and bikers since half the road is dedicated to them. It is most popular especially on Sundays when the UP loop is totally closed off to motor vehicles.

It was liberating to stroll down the streets with kids in tow, one with a trike and another with a scooter. After some walking, u can cool down and buy some drinks from the kiosks or adults can enter malls and buy food for take out. U can also rent a bike, there is an exhibit on plants when we visited and maybe more activities at night. Just wear masks and faceshields and of course, maintain social distancing.

there is a chapel in the middle of the shopping Mall. The Chapel is like a big open air church with a huge sail over the top for protection from the weather.

BGC is one of the most posh places in Manila. It’s a popular and high-end business district with plenty of business activities and areas for shopping, dining, and entertainment. For posh malling experience, Uptown Bonifacio and The Grand Canal at McKinley Hill are great places. The Grand Canal also has that Italian feel in it and you can enjoy riding the gondola. Market Market and SM Aura are huge malls. Market Market has plenty of options for food, and has plenty of transportation options to other parts of Manila. Bonifacio High Street is an outdoor shopping and dining strip with shops at both side of the pedestrian street which has a relaxing park-like vibe. When you’re in BGC, you’ll feel like you’re transferred into a different world if you entered from the somewhat chaotic environs. Within the business district, electric cables are buried underground, so the city views are orderly. There are green spaces and plenty of high rise buildings. You could also walk from one end of the city to the other, and the air quality is much better compared to most areas in Metro Manila.
