San Agustin Church

Just wrapped up a 3D2N getaway at Manila Bay and honestly? It was part chill, part chaos, all charm. Whether you’re a history buff, a sunset chaser, or just hungry all the time (me), this one’s for you! 🌴✨ ⸻ 🛬 Day 1: History, Parks & Golden Hours 🕘 9:00 AM – Landed and headed straight to Rizal Park 🌳. It’s peaceful, patriotic, and smells like morning grass and food carts. 🕛 12:00 PM – Popped over to Intramuros 🏰 – Manila’s walled city! Explored cobblestone streets and felt like a character in a colonial novel. 🕒 3:00 PM – Stepped into San Agustin Church ⛪ – jaw-dropping interiors, soft light filtering in, and the air thick with history. 🕕 6:00 PM – Sunset along Manila Baywalk was a fiery masterpiece 🔥🌅. Locals were jamming, kids roller-skating, lovers vibing – pure Manila. 🕗 8:00 PM – Dinner near Malate Church (Our Lady of Remedies) 💒 – classic Filipino soul in architecture. Ended the night with halo-halo by the street. Cold. Sweet. Epic. ⸻ 🐠 Day 2: Culture, Ocean Creatures & Mega Malls 🕘 9:00 AM – Started with a splash at Manila Ocean Park 🐠 – stingrays, sharks, and even penguins. Kid me was living. 🕛 12:30 PM – Lunch nearby: veggie pancit + fresh buko juice 🥥. Light, refreshing, so Filipino. 🕒 3:00 PM – Explored the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) 🎭 – modern art meets heritage. Caught a local dance rehearsal by chance! 🕕 6:00 PM – Back to the bay for another golden hour, this time with grilled corn and fish balls in hand 🌽🐟. 🕗 8:00 PM – Night stroll past Malate. Smell of street BBQ everywhere. Tip: say yes to banana cue 🍌🔥. ⸻ 🛍️ Day 3: Shop & Soak It In 🕘 10:00 AM – Mall of Asia time! 🛍️ Huge, shiny, and air-conditioned (thank goodness). Coffee, souvenirs, and a giant Ferris wheel ride for the views 🎡. 🕛 12:00 PM – Last lunch: tofu sisig and garlic rice. Simple but chef’s kiss 👌 🕑 2:00 PM – Quick visit to San Agustin again – had to say goodbye properly. Then… Grab to the airport. ⸻ ✨ Tips & Tales 👟 Walk lots – wear comfy shoes. 💡 Be curious – Manila rewards wanderers. 🍴 Try local snacks. Even balut. Once. 😅 ⸻ Verdict? Manila Bay is a mix of soul, salt air, and stories. Already planning round two 🌊🇵🇭💙
