Manila Bay - January 2016


Manila Bay is a natural harbour which serves the Port of Manila in the Philippines. Strategically located around the capital city of the Philippines. Manila Bay facilitated commerce and trade between the Philippines and its neighboring countries becoming the gateway for socio-economic development even prior to Spanish occupation. 


The islands of Corregidor and Caballo divides the entrance into two channels about 2 miles towards the north ad 6.5 miles wide on the south side. Mariveles in the province of Bataqan is an anchorage port just inside the northern entrance.
