It is actually hard to speak about the place you grew up. They say that your own place is the place you know the least, and this actually holds true for me haha! Whenever I am being asked by my foreigner friends about where to go and what to eat in Manila (and sometimes they ask where are the Instagram-worthy spots in Manila), I usually can’t think of any place — either there’s a lot, or these places are something that lost its appeal on me simply because I see them everyday. I will make a bad tour guide for my own city, but I’m trying, I promise!

So based on my research and own everyday experiences living in Manila, I was able to list down these Instagram-worthy locations in the city. Please take note that I featured other peoples’ photos here and I will slowly develop this article by attaching my own photos entirely. Enjoy! πŸ™‚
