A 'tourism powerhouse' is the term that has often been used to describe Manila. Over time, the city has seen its fair share of natural disasters, socio economic changes and financial upheavals. Despite all this, the city has emerged as the one of South East Asia's leading commercial and tourism capitals. Besides spectacular sights, there are beautiful galleries, fabulous restaurants, many religious monuments and some hugely popular festivals through the year that make it a must visit destination.
