Philippines - Manila, Makati, Global City

I spent my timeover the weekend in Philippines. I stayed in a hotel in Makati and could run around the area and Global City. I could also visit the old Manila area.

The temperature went up to around 30 deg. C during the day and was bit muggy even in early mornings.

Alaya Triangle in Makati - nice and green area.


Jeepney - very important part of the transportation system.

The gate of Fort Santiago

A beautiful garden in Intramuros


Statues re-creating the execution of Jose Rizal by the Spanish.

Joggers in front of the American Cemetery.

The skyline of Global City in the morning.

Global City is still under construction.

Just outside of Global City - congested living conditions exist.


Philippine is experiencing a fast economic growth at this point.
