San Miguel, Manila

**San Miguel** is one of Manila's sixteen traditional districts, where Malacañang Palace, the seat of Government of the Philippines and official residence of the President of the Philippines is situated. Its neighborhood is a mix of government offices, ancestral houses of the affluent, middle class homes, churches and schools.

## Geography

San Miguel consists of two riverine islands near the Spanish colonial settlement of Intramuros, separated from the main geography of Manila by an estuary, _Estero de San Miguel_, and by the Pasig River.

To reach the government center, one has to cross any of several bridges traversing Estero de San Miguel, from west to east: **Carlos Palanca Bridge**, **P. Casal Bridge**, **Nepomuceno Bridge**, **Arlegui Bridge**, **San Rafael Bridge**, **Chino Roces Bridge**, and **Concepcion Aguila Bridge**. Extending towards P. Casal Bridge, **Ayala Bridge** crosses the Pasig River itself and connects to San Miguel's other riverine island, _Isla de Convalecencia_.

## Schools

The San Miguel district is home to Roman Catholic colleges and universities such as _San Beda University_ run by the Benedictine order, _College of the Holy Spirit_ run by the Missionary Sisters Servant of the Holy Spirit, _Saint Jude Catholic School_ run by the Philippine Central Province of the Society of the Divine Word, and _La Consolacion College Manila_ run by the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation. Secular educational institutions have also been founded there, such as _Centro Escolar University_ and _Victorino Mapa High School_.
