'''Pasig City'''

The City of Pasig is a city in the Philippines that is part of the greater group of cities that constitute Metro Manila. This eastern Philippine city is bordered to the west by heavily populated Quezon City and rapidly urban Mandaluyong City; it is bordered to the east by the municipality of Cainta in Rizal province; it is bordered to the north by increasingly attractive Marikina City; and it is bordered to the south by Philippine financial capital Makati City, middle-class residential district Pateros and Taguig City.

Pasig City is home to the Ortigas Center, the country's fastest growing commercial and financial district. Home to many of the country's most important centers of commerce, business, government, and entertainment, Pasig City is emerging as a truly important city in the Philippines, and an ideal homebase from which to experience the Philippines at its finest and most real.

Get in

As Pasig is within Metro Manila itself, it is not far from the NAIA Airport in Pasay City and travel between cities will only take minutes.

Jeepneys are available throughout the city, as well as tricycles and pedicabs in smaller residential areas. One can ride a jeepney from Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City that leads all the way to the heart of Pasig, which is the Pasig City Hall and the Pasig Public Market (Pasig Palengke).

Taxis also service the city as well.
