Mayor Joseph Ejercito Estrada on Saturday said week-long festivities await residents of Manila as the city observes its 446th anniversary. The celebration will kick off with a grand parade Sunday and culminate with the coronation of this year’s Miss Manila at the Philippine International Convention Center on June 24.

“The City of Manila has gone a long way from being a ‘Pearl of the Orient’ and ‘Paris of Asia’ to a highly urbanized Global City. Together, we will celebrate our 446thFoundation Day with a vision of bringing back our beloved city’s former glory and beauty,” Estrada said.
