Ortigas Center

Ortigas Center spreads across more than 100 hectares spanning three cities of Metro Manila with countless office towers, retail spaces, and corporate headquarters throughout. The district features modern high-rises arranged along wide avenues that create a unified business zone across the different neighborhoods.

The area originated from Hacienda de Mandaloyong, which Augustinian friars sold to Dr. Frank Dudley and Francisco Ortigas in 1920. This transformation from agricultural land into a business center began the district's evolution into what it is today.

The shopping centers like SM Megamall and The Podium show how locals and visitors move through retail spaces where Filipino and international brands sit side by side. These hubs serve as gathering places for daily life beyond simple shopping.

The district connects well through EDSA highway, Ortigas Avenue, and Shaw Boulevard with multiple transit access points available. Navigation is straightforward due to wide streets and clear signage that help visitors orient themselves.

The district hosts headquarters of major Philippine corporations such as San Miguel Corporation and Jollibee Foods Corporation that serve millions across the region. These corporate giants shape the skyline and represent the country's economic strength.
