Next, we'll hop aboard a jeepney to reach Intramuros, Manila's historic district, enclosed by ancient walls. The name 'Intramuros' is Spanish, with 'intra' meaning 'inside' and 'muros' meaning 'walls.'

We'll also explore the Museum of the Battle for Manila, where you'll gain deeper insights into the historic events that shaped this city.

Returning to Makati, we arrive at one of Metro Manila's safest, most modern, and upscale districts. Here, you'll find an impressive skyline adorned with 60-70-story skyscrapers, housing banks, embassies, and the well-known entertainment area of Poblacion, featuring numerous bars. To cap off our day, we'll ascend to one of the city's stunning rooftop bars, where you can savor a drink or enjoy the finest Filipino beer while taking in the breathtaking sunset views over the city. Finally, we'll make our way back to the hotel, allowing you to unwind and rest after an exciting day of exploration.
