TRAVEL
SECRET CITY

Once, years ago, Intramuros' thick stone walls enclosed a crowded city of cobblestone streets, old colonial houses, churches, monuments and plazas. In the span of a few weeks in 1945 it all vanished.
INTRAMUROS IN A DAY

You can wander around the Walled City aimlessly. Or you can follow this guide. Your choice.
GO DIVE

Feel like fleeing the country and its problems? You don't have to go very far to escape. Just travel two and a half hours out of Manila and then jump into the sea.
 
VISIT THE PHILIPPINES

While I've criss-crossed the country, it's usually been to cover drought, armed rebels, environmental destruction and lunatic warlords. Still, I've always been struck by the beauty of our islands - many of them like white gems glinting on a blue, sun-dappled ocean.
 
DEBT IN VENICE

You can enjoy Venice without feeling shorn and fiscally violated, as long as you accept one fact: there's no getting around high prices in this city. Everybody pays them
