Bonifacio Global City (also known as BGC, Global City, or The Fort) is a financial business district in Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is located 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) southeast of the capital city of Manila. The district experienced commercial growth following the sale of a 440 ha (1,100 acres) military base at Fort Bonifacio by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA). The entire district used to be the part of the main Philippine Army camp.
Bonifacio Global City is part of Taguig's barangay Fort Bonifacio. Prior to the creation of such barangay in 2008, it was part of barangay Ususan.
Previously, it was also claimed by Makati as part of its barangays Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, both part of the Embo barangays that were eventually transferred to Taguig in 2023. Pateros also claims the area as part of its territory.
On February 7, 1995, Bonifacio Land Corporation (BLC) started planning a major urban development—Bonifacio Global City. BLC made a successful bid to become BCDA's partner in the development of the district. The Ayala Corporation through Ayala Land, Inc., and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. of the Campos Group purchased a controlling stake in BLC from Metro Pacific in 2003. BCDA and the two companies now control Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, which oversees the master planning of Bonifacio Global City.
1. Intramuros
Intramuros, "The Walled City," is the oldest district in Manila. This is what remains of the fortified city, which was the seat of power during Spanish Colonial times (1521-1898).
2. Banaue Rice Terrraces
Spectacular terraces were carved out from mountain ranges some 2000 years ago with primitive handtools.
3. Fort Santiago
This museum and public park was built as a stone fortress at the turn of the 17th century and marked the beginning of the walled city's riverside barricades.
4. Greenbelt Mall
The Greenbelt shopping mall complex consists of 5 buildings surrounding the Greenbelt park, a welcome green area in this busy city. It offers dozens of restaurants of all kinds.
Of course it is not the right choice for those of us looking for authenticity. But if you need to relax after an intense work (or shopping) day, it is a nice choice.
5. Rizal Park
It is considered one of the largest urban parks in the Philippines, covering an area of 58 hectares (140 acres)
