Beyond the busy streets of Manila lies a city rich in history and culture, now more accessible than ever via for Caviteños via Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX). Motorists from Las Piñas and Parañaque may also use the CAVITEX Sucat Interchange, with entry along Dr. A. Santos Avenue, for a more convenient route to these destinations.
Last March 14, 2025, Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South) successfully hosted Biyaheng South: Tara, Let’s Explore Manila, an immersive cultural tour made possible through partnerships with Intramuros Administration, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, Food Wanderer x Lakbay Museo, and Space & Time Cube. This unique experience allowed selected Ka-Biyaheros to rediscover Manila through a seamless blend of history, interactive exhibits, and local flavors—all just a quick and convenient drive from Cavite via CAVITEX.
Three lucky winners, along with their chosen guests, were selected through an online raffle on Biyaheng South’s Facebook page. They joined influencers on an exciting journey to some of Manila’s most iconic landmarks and attractions.
“Exploring Manila’s rich history through this event was a unique and immersive experience. It was an opportunity to reconnect with our history and culture while fostering a deeper appreciation for our heritage, allowing them to see the beauty of our past while enjoying the present. We hope this inspires more travelers to rediscover the cultural gems in our own backyard,” Arlette V. Capistrano, vice president for Communication and Stakeholder Management of MPT South, said.
“Tara, Let’s Explore Manila” was launched to provide a unique opportunity for travelers to rediscover the rich history, heritage, and hidden gems of the country’s capital. Manila, often seen as just a gateway to other destinations, holds centuries of history and vibrant culture waiting to be explored,” she added.
Through this initiative, MPT South sought to showcase the beauty and significance of the city’s historical sites, immersive museums, and cultural landmarks, reinforcing the company’s mission of enhancing connectivity—not only through expressways but also by fostering deeper connections between people and places.
MPT South is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC). Aside from CALAX and CAVITEX networks of toll roads, MPTC’s domestic portfolio includes concessions for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the NLEX Connector Road, the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cebu.
