    This had plenty of food on an evening where my nearby hotel restaurant was booked out. Lots of locals attending. A safe and comfortable place to be in the evening with a nice e garden view.

    A little oasis in a busy area with a museum honouring Rizal and a small LEGO display. In the river and a few little shops. Friendly.

    "A bit crowded, but still worth the price. However, be sure to eat before you go if you're a picky eater like me. The food options, including at the restaurant, are heavily seasoned with pepper, so if you're not a fan, you might find it challenging. It's best to come with a full stomach."

    This mall is definitely one of a kind. I’ve never been to a mall built with a canal in it. That this mall’s design themes were Venetian inspired is actually a novel and cool idea. It makes it worth visiting just for the sake of experience it even without doing any major shopping. We visited a couple of fast food restaurants while there, and it was particularly nice to enjoy dining here with great views of the canal.

    The shopping centre is quite nice and convenient in Manila from the cruise terminal. However there is a Phillipines Ho Ho bus which I do not recommend. Why ? 1. There's no office to buy a ticket. 2. You purchase the ticket through a 2nd person but we found that they don't or reluctant to give receipts for the next bus you catch.

    We stopped here on a city tour on our way to intramuros. It was way too hot unfortunately to spend much time, but we saw the guards guarding Rival's monument. Also, plenty of food vendors in case you get hungry or thirsty.

    We visited San Agustín Chirch as part of an Intramuros tour of the historic walled city. We had previously visited the more well known Manila Cathedral and we liked this church better. It was more interesting inside with more side altars to visit. We even lit a candle in honor of our dearly departed daughter.

    There are actually three national museums close to one another in the Rizal Park area ... the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of Fine Arts. Each has its own particular collection. You can visit any of them depending on your personal interests ... History, Art, etc. Entrance is free. They are closed on Mondays. They do get a bit crowded on Sundays. Queues can also be quite long and slow as they manually register guests. Collections are well-arranged and properly labeled. Some galleries are closed. Lighting system can be improved. Perhaps they need to add more elevators to give visitors easy access to the upper floors. Parking is a bit of a problem as there are very limited slots. Lastly, they could put up souvenir shops and nice restaurants as well.
