Commuting to Mall of Asia (MOA)

Situated at the Manila Bay, the Mall of Asia offers a spectacular view of the sunset (if it's not cloudy) and at every night during weekends (if the weather permits), the MOA crew puts on a fireworks display at the Manila Bay at 7pm. Aside from the grandeur site of the Manila Bay, it hosts numerous shops, restaurants, bars, cinemas and an IMAX theater.
