Natural harbor

Manila Bay, the gateway for socio-economic development known for its sunset, serves the Port of Manila and drains about 17,000 square kilometers of watershed area, with the Pampanga River contributing about 49 percent of the freshwater influx. With an average depth of 17 meters, it is estimated to have a total volume of 28.9 billion cubic meters. At the sprawling Luneta Park in Manila, Sunday strollers make postcard perfect frames for family memories.
