Manila: Heritage and Development in the City

Manila, established in 1571 and one of the oldest cities in the world, is rich with stories and history that give the city its unique charm and striking character. Individuals find themselves drawn to the city and inevitably contribute to its rapid growth and prosperity.

It prides itself as a city driven both by heritage and development. From its old world beauty, the high rise towers and leisure destinations, and its quirky residential areas and cultural landmarks, Manila is a city bustling with life in every corner.

Given Manila’s renown, it is not surprising that it is still at the forefront for the country’s cultural, social, and economic growth.

Revitalizing Life

Living in Manila means you are both living in both the past and the present. While your sights are of bygone years, your lifestyle is that of the modern man.

Living in the capital city gives you an easy reach to key government offices, major business districts, and distinguished academic institutions in the country. Ongoing roadway developments aim to provide the citizens of Manila with seamless access to various districts and neighbouring cities.

Making plans for a quick getaway is as easy as a breeze. With choices such as a fulfilling Binondo food trip, a visit to the historic sights in Intramuros, shopping at prominent malls, watching awe-inspiring performances at the Cultural Center, or dropping by heritage sites with your family, the residents of Manila will never run out of things to do.

Opportunities are situated everywhere you look.

Culture and Community

Manila’s cultural heritage is the key component in the city’s sustainability and success. Sta. Ana, known as “the community by the river”, is an example of a district recognized for its heritage community.

Sta. Ana’s charm lies in its remarkable locale. Apart from heritage houses, it is also home to a burial site from the Sung Dynasty, a train stop for the Tranvía (a streetcar system from the 20th century), notable archaeological discoveries, and a community where different religious groups exist in perfect harmony.

Manila offers its inhabitants different facets of life with every step.
