MaginhawaMajor street in a village full of restaurants, food parks, and a few bars.
Arts & Culture
Biggest and most prestigious university in the country. Good place to jog--there's a jogger's lane along the university oval. Also a nice place to just relax and people-watch, or catch a show, or visit a gallery. There is also a Catholic church if you want to hear mass or say a prayer. Find cheap street food in "Area 2" or dine at the restaurants in the Bahay ng Alumni. I highly recommend coming here to experience the university culture.
