The City of Mandaluoyong is a city that lies at the heart of Metropolitan Manila. Its remarkable rate of development since the early 80’s established the city as one of the most progressive economic centers in the country.
With the sense of stability brought about by a dynamic leadership then under Mayor Benjamin S. Abalos, Sr., the expansion and relocation of major capital investments gradually shifted towards the city, and soon after, this once sleepy town’s landscape dramatically transformed into one of the most promising business and financial centers in Metro Manila.
Tourist attractions and destinations in the City of Mandaluyong include Plaza Tatlong Bayani, Liberation Marker/Liwasang Katubusan, Don Bosco Technical College formerly San Carlos Seminary, San Felipe Neri Church, EDSA Shrine, Ilaya Mini Park, San Miguel Corporation Building, and Wack Wack Golf and Country Club.
