Pasig is a city on eastern Metro Manila, lending its name from the eponymous river of the same name. Once part of Rizal province, Pasig is now part of Manila's ever-expanding sprawl. Its downtown area still maintain its characteristically Filipino charm, though overshadowed by the modernity of its central business district, Ortigas Center and swamped by uncontrolled development, slums, and pollution that Manila continues to experience.
Pasig is bordered to the west by heavily populated Quezon City and rapidly urbanizing Mandaluyong, to the east by the municipality of Cainta in Rizal province, to the north by Marikina, and to the south by Philippine financial capital Makati, middle-class residential district Pateros and Taguig.
Pasig 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.
