    A place where you can have your wedding reception, a date with your loved one, or just to ooh and aah. ;p

    FACTS...FACTS...FACTS...FACTS<br /> It is well-known in our country that former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos "orchestrated" the construction of this "guesthouse", built of coconut wood & shells, to accommodate Pope John Paul II for his 1981 visit, although it's extravagance turned him off so much he refused to stay there.

    the CCP Complex lies in the heart of the Manila Bay Reclamation Area and is home of lots of places to see. It was built in 1969 and the Main draw is the Large Complex that functions as settings for plays and operas and concerts. Also within the complex is the Coconut Palace, an architectural wonder made from the coconut tree mixed with other indigenous material. The Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), the Product Design and Development Center, the Folk Arts Theater, Philippine Center for International Trade and Exhibitions (PHILCITE), Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel and Manila Film Center.

    It also has the Folk Arts Center, used for shows, ferry terminals going to Bataan province and Manila Bay Cruises and lots of Restaurants and Bars.

    Manila Bay: Romance on the horizon
  • Tip Rating:

  • Updated By Tijavi on August 26, 2004

  • Perhaps one of Manila's most enduring charms is the beautiful sunset across Manila Bay. On a clear day, the red orange burst of color across the horizon from Roxas Blvd (Dewey Blvd in the American colonial days and some years after that until nationalist sentiment prompted a change in the famous thoroughfare's name) is simply marvelous. It serves as very fitting backdrop to families enjoying their time together, or for lovers' most romantic (but not so intimate, OK?) pursuits.

    The best place to enjoy Manila Bay's sunset is along the Promenade in Roxas Blvd, across the newly (and wonderfully) restored Rajah Sulayman Park and the historic Malate Church. Amidst these grand, old world ambiance, lovers (and families) will surely have a great time enjoying this free, almost-daily (except during inclement weather, of course) grand show.

    Enjoy and send me pictures of your Manila Bay sunset!

  • Directions: In front of Rajah Sulayman Park and Malate Church, in Malate. One could also go to CCP Complex to enjoy the sunset.

    People gather around this live mannequin who does a periodic or per set performance in the middle of the street (the last time I saw him he was near the Blue Bay Grill Restaurant). Put some coins in the box near his feet and he will move/dance, and just keep still otherwise.

    Roxas Boulevard is the main promenade of Manila. This is a good place to pass away your time in Manila day or night. Overlooking Manila Bay, the promenade has open air cafes and benches where one can sit and do some people-watching or witness the famous Manila sunset.

    The main plaza fronting the Malate church is the central attraction of the Manila baywalk. It has a fountain and a statue of Rajah Sulayman in front the baroque church.

    One of the tourst night spot here in Manila give you the opportunity to walk around with your friends, watching cool sunset, eating dinner with nice amusement while listening music to the band who played makes your night relaxing. As there are lots of restaurants here, you can choose where you like to eat. A place where you can hang on whole night. The afternoon i went here were i missed the sunset but the second time around i did took good views of the sunset already thru my cellphone.

    Action in the Malate District starts at about 9 pm, so whenever we usually arrive at the area early, we always drop by Baywalk to kill time (hehehe). There are some activities around here like Henna tattoing and for something to see, refer to the next photo.

    Baywalk is along Roxas Boulevard Manila. It is the best place to view the sunset when you're in Manila. At nigh time, a lot of people are hanging out for food, music, chat, etc.

    Built during the Marcos era to promote beauty and culture in the Philippines, CCP is a major venue for the ballet, plays, and other shows.
    The CCP complex is right on Manila Bay and a great place for afternoon strolls or watching the sunset.
