Taytay
Spend a half‑day in Taytay for shopping and the historic church; reach from Manila in ~20 min by car or bus, then return.
Taytay is a 20 km town east of Manila, known for its garment markets and the Spanish‑era Minor Basilica of Saint John the Baptist. The sights cluster near the main road, so a few hours suffice. Most visitors combine it with a Manila base or a day‑trip to nearby Rizal towns.
