At Nayong
Pilipino, literally Philippine Vil-lage, near the Ninoy Aquino
International Airport are rebuilt in miniature many fea-tures
of the Philippine archipelago. One can see houses in the style
of the various Philippine islands, and crafts of tribes. Even
landscape attractions are rebuilt, e.g. Mayan Volcano, rice terraces.
The area also houses a number of museums including an aquarium
(for details on these museums, see chapter Art and Culture, also
in the Manila section). On Saturdays and Sundays at 16:00, there
are shows of traditional Philippine dances. When-ever there is
a big festival somewhere in the archipelago, similar programs
are also held at Nayong Pilipino.
As the area
of the Nayong Pilipino is quite large, there are transportation
facilities within. A jeepney does a round tour. Nayong Pilipino
is open daily from 6:00 to 21:00, entrance is 22.50 pesos for
foreigners and 10 pesos for Filipinos.
