During your planned or unplanned holiday travel layover in Manila, why not explore these sites to replace any inconvenience.
A short walk from Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the Philippine Air Force Aerospace Museum (PAFAM).
A visit might provide the right amount of Top Gun rush while learning a about Philippine aeronautics history.
The PAFAM is the premier repository of historical and cultural heritage properties of the Philippine Air Force (PAF). Aside from the imposing showcase of real and past aircraft that have seen their fair share of action, the museum also contains displays of local military arts and sciences, culture, and history.
PAFAM is a non-profit, permanent institution located inside the Colonel Jesus Villamor Air Base.
For a little shopping, head over to the SM Mall of Asia (MOA), the Philippines’ largest mall. Explore their massive offerings of mouth-watering bites and luxurious boutiques.
Drop by IKEA, their largest branch in the world, or maybe catch an immersive 3D film at the IMAX theater. You can have your picture taken next to the iconic globe for the full MOA experience.
After hours inside the plane and the airport, stay mobile to feel rejuvenated. Just outside MOA, have a breath of fresh air and take a walk away from the confines of the metro at SM by the Bay. Nearby, there’s also an amusement park where you can enjoy a number of rides, including the MOA Eye, an 80-foot tall ferris wheel that offers a one-of-a-kind view of Manila Bay and the surrounding cityscape.
