About

From being the kingdom of fearless warriors to the birthplace of the country’s revolutionary to the modern time’s face of lawlessness and poverty, Tondo, Manila is full of great stories to tell. This multi-faceted district has come a long way to become one of Manila’s, if not by the country, prominent places.

 

At A Glance

Tondo’s history dates back even before the Spanish colonization with the ancient Indianized Kingdom in the 10th century and was the capital of the Luzon Empire. It is revered as being more than a thousand years old as mentioned in the country’s earliest historical record, the Laguna Copperplate Inscription. It witnessed how the mighty Rajah Sulayman fought back against the Spaniards and some hundred years later, gave birth to the Katipunan and its founder, Andres Bonifacio, and brain, Emilio Jacinto.

Currently, this densely populated district is notoriously known for its gang crime, slums, and dumpsites as well as for its busy yet vibrant commercial and industrial status hosting some of the largest establishments and ports locally. Some references are also attributed to Tondo in the pop culture with local movies like Iyo Ang Tondo Kanya Ang Cavite in 1986, Tribu in 2007, and Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story in 2011 and a novel entitled Ang Tundo Man May Langit Din by Andres Cristobal Cruz in 1986.

 

How To Go

By landThere are two train lines that serve commuters to Tondo area. The first one is the Philippine National Railways’ (PNR) operated Commuter Express (Commex) or SRTS Orange Line. This Metro Manila’s regional passenger train has its main station in Tutuban. The other one is the Manila Light Rail Transit 1 or commonly known as LRT 1 or Yellow Line having the R. Papa and the Abad Santos stations access to Tondo area.

Being the largest area among Manila’s districts,Tondo can be reached through several jeepney routes. Coming from the north side, ride a jeep with signages like North Harbor, Blumentritt, Ilaya, Dagupan and Abad Santos while from the south side, take a jeep going to Pritil, Divisoria, Blumentritt, Monumento, Malinta, and Malanday.

 

Getting Around

Jeepneys are the primary mode of transportation to get around Tondo as there are many routes available to choose from. A minimum fare of P7.00 is charged for the first four kilometers. Tricycle or auto rickshaw, Padyak or bicycle rickshaw, and Kuliglig or motorized pedicabs are other options to go around town. But for a more adventurous ride, try the Trolleys or rail skates that run along the railways of PNR or the P1.00 boat ride across Pasig River from Delpan to Baseco.

 

Tourist Attractions

Not much of a pleasant nor an ideal sightseeing place to go to, but Smokey Mountain, one of the biggest slums in Tondo, attracts both local and foreign tourist to discover more about this 50-meter high garbage mountain with more than two million tons of rubbish and the poor community thriving in the area.

One of the most visited churches in the Philippines is the Santo Niño de Tondo Church also known as Tondo Church. It’s unique and noticeable architectural design features twin domed bell towers on each side and one small domed bell tower on its roof in addition to its well-crafted arches and columns. This Roman Catholic church houses an image of the Infant Jesus that came from Acapulco, Mexico since 1572.

Another historical site on the list is Plaza Moraga. It is named in commemoration of the Augustinian parish priest of Sta. Ana, Fernando de Morga, who persuaded King Philip to reconsider the plan to leave the Philippines free.

 

Top Things to Do

Join in the miraculous Lakbayaw Festival or Santo Niño de Tondo celebrated every third Sunday of January.

Shop in the gold mine of wholesale and retail centers, Divisoria Market. It is the premier go-to place for the cheapest goods across the country and the most visited flea market of Manila with a variety of commodities available including raw materials, fruits and vegetables, and custom-made and RTW products.

  • Ride the PNR train and experience the cityscape tour in a different light.
