Makati is Manila&rsquo;s pi&egrave;ce de r&eacute;sistance, an inspiring gem of a city where commerce, leisure, and culture converge.&nbsp;
The Central Business District is home to renowned multinational companies, upscale shopping malls, award-winning restaurants, nostalgic neighborhoods, unique art scenes, and a vibrant nightlife.

The 80&rsquo;s-born Greenbelt Malls is an icon in Makati, built around a colossal 250,000 square meter shopping haven.
The five malls that surround it are pleasant hubs for some serious retail therapy. From international luxury brands to quaint boutique shops, the retail complex has an extensive portfolio for every kind of shopper.
At the heart of Greenbelt Malls is the Santo Ni&ntilde;o de Paz Chapel, a Roman Catholic place of worship. Constructed as an open-air, concrete dome in the middle of a pond, the chapel conducts Mass and religious services every day for mall patrons. It celebrates its feast day every third Sunday of January.

The Yuchengco Museum opened its doors to the public in 2005 at the heart of RCBC Plaza, the headquarters of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) and one of the flagship companies of the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC). The museum is not only a temple that showcases art, but also a forum of exchange, debate, and education.
It was created to house the art collection of Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco, and highlight his distinguished career as an influential Filipino-Chinese businessman, diplomat, philanthropist, patron of the arts, and advocate for education in the Philippines and beyond.
On display at the museum&rsquo;s fourth floor are memorabilia to the Yuchengco family&rsquo;s Chinese heritage, the history of the YGC and its flagship companies, and the business and diplomatic career of Ambassador Yuchengco.
