Manila Bay Walk. The old timers in Manila speak of a different Manila Bay from what it is today. Where there used to be fine beaches, there are now reclamation areas that support the Cultural Center of the Philippines complex and, lately, the new business district in Pasay City. Very recently, the Manila City government created the Baywalk along Roxas Boulevard across Malate Church. Where there used to be dark sidewalks, there now are thriving completely-lighted parks complete with restaurants and cafes.
