Nestled near it can charming Nipa Houses that showcase traditional stilt houses, reflecting the country's indigenous architecture. As dawn breaks over Manila, one can witness an awe-inspiring view of the Makati district from afar, painting a picturesque sunrise scene in Southeast Asia. Delving into its past, Manila played a significant role in the Battle Bay in 1898 when American forces clashed with Spanish defenders during the Spanish-American War.
