Metro Manila comprises of 16 cities and municipalities. Its total area is 638.55 square kilometers (246.55 sq mi) with an estimated 12.88 million population (August 2015 Census).<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prime business and commercial centers in the metropolis are Makati (the country\u2019s premier financial center), Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas Center, Quezon City, Manila, Pasay, and Alabang. People can find the Philippines\u2019 largest corporations and the country\u2019s major banks as well as the many multinational corporations. Shopping malls, serviced apartments and hotels can also be found in these areas.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Filipino (Tagalog) is the language spoken in Manila and considered as the official language of the Philippines. Since English has been made part of the education curriculum of the Philippines, most Filipinos can fluently speak, write and understand English. However, differences in pronunciation and diction may be observed. Filipino is used in mass broadcast media, but laws, books, and mediums of instruction are primarily written in English.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The major city, Manila, provides various transportation options. The unique one is the public jeepney, which has been in use since the years immediately after World War II. Buses, air-conditioned metered taxi, and Tamaraw FX minivans are also popular forms of transportation.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Metro Manila is also rich in history and diverse cultures, which are attributed to the colonization under the Spanish for 400 years, and 45 years under the Americans while all the time being influenced by Chinese, Indian and Arab cultures. These left the City with a colorful culture.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are several landmarks with historical significance, most of which are located in the west. One of which is the Intramuros, the 400-year-old walled city that used to be the seat of the government during the Spanish Colonial Era and American period.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What beyond Manila\u2019s busy streets and crowded commercial centers are historical monuments that relish the past and festive joints that celebrate life. Among the places to see are Rizal Park, National Museum, Malaca\u00f1ang Palace, the CCP Complex, Nayong Pilipino, Ayala Avenue in Makati City, Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong City and the Corregidor Island. Restaurants are aplenty in these areas as well.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1337dea elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default tm-col-stretched-none tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"1337dea\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d269c2 tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"6d269c2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4447b7d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default tm-col-stretched-none tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"4447b7d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c74afcf tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"c74afcf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-625ff02 horizontal-line-align-left vertical-line-align-bottom elementor-widget elementor-widget-tm-ele-section-title\" data-id=\"625ff02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tm-ele-section-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tm-sc-section-title section-title \">\r\r\n\t<div class=\"title-wrapper\">\r\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"title \">\r\r\n\r\r\n\t\t\r\n\r\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<span class=\"title-part1 \">Metro Manila\u2019s Facts & Figures<\/span>\r\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\r\n\t\t\r\n\r\r\n\t<\/h3>\r\r\n\t<div class=\"title-seperator-line\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ede5cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ede5cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table id=\"mytable\" style=\"border: none;

They may seem distant at first sight, but the truth is that they are very friendly and welcoming foreigners. This trait is usually seen during festivals where many Filipinos are giving their best to entertain their visitors well.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having Close Family Ties is also one of their unique traits. It is a significant cultural value that Filipinos have. They are taught to takes care of each other and to be loyal to family and elderlies by simply obeying their authorities. Having a fondness for family reunions during holidays such as Christmas, New Year\u2019s Eve, All Saints\u2019 Day, Fiestas, homecomings, etc. is evidence that Filipino people valued the close family ties.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Filipinos believe that keeping things to operate smoothly is one\u2019s duty. It is essential for them not to lose face. Being corrected or correcting another person in public is not an acceptable behavior. Therefore, they often say yes when they mean no or maybe. Others understand when the request is not fulfilled because saying no might have caused the individual to lose face. When a family invites one to join for a meal, the offer must be refused at first. If they request again, it is permissible to accept. Time consciousness is not important considerations. A planned meeting is expected to take place later, much later, or never.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Content1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"741\" height=\"435\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31038 size-full\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c1c4df elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default tm-col-stretched-none tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"7c1c4df\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e6d163d tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"e6d163d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8766b5e elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default tm-col-stretched-none tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"8766b5e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-69188ad tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"69188ad\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7393c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7393c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: CastleT, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; font-size: 32px;\">Cultural Do\u2019s &amp; Don\u2019ts<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b1b8cb5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default tm-col-stretched-none tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"b1b8cb5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a7d2c2 tm-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"1a7d2c2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0b20c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0b20c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: CastleT, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color: #000; font-weight: 200; font-size: 50px;\">Do&#8217;s<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be friendly and smile.
