History

Spanish Colonial Period
Paco Park was originally planned as a municipal cemetery for the well-off and established aristocratic Spanish families who resided in the old Manila, or the city within the walls of Intramuros during the Spanish colonial era.

The much-awaited opening of the Manila Ocean Park is slated on Feb. 24 after its supposed opening late last year was delayed due to unfinished construction.

The opening of the park was originally set to open last December in time for the Christmas season but was moved to February since additional attractions were made, according to Tina Santos, the park’s marketing officer.

A recent health survey in the Philippines revealed that 18-25% of its population suffers from major diseases like heart attack and cancer even before reaching their retirement age making them quit from their job which results to a much bigger problem, finding a financial solution to support their medical needs. A good solution for this is having a perfect medical insurance, the one that will give you security for your health issues. This is a must have for everyone.

Manila has both public sector hospitals and private sector hospitals, and many are keen to become involved in medical tourism. However, to date very few have been subjected to international healthcare accreditation, whether of American, British or Australian origin.

Manila is the seat of the Archdiocese of Manila and the Primate of the Philippines.
