Solid plan overall, though I'd swap the Day 2 CCP start to before 10 AM since Roxas Boulevard traffic gets brutal by mid-morning.

Day 2 CCP run is tight; I'd slot PICC's grand staircase photo stop before noon since guards shoo loiterers after tours start.

Start your Pasay adventure at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Baywalk, a 1.5-kilometer promenade that offers unobstructed views of Manila Bay's famous sunsets. The best time to visit is around 5:30 PM, when the sky turns orange and the cool sea breeze sets in. Bring a light jacket and enjoy street performers and local vendors selling snacks like fishballs and kwek-kwek. The area is free to enter and is a 10-minute walk from the MOA main entrance.
š¢ Thrills at Star City
For adrenaline junkies, Star City (located along Roxas Boulevard, Pasay) is a must-visit. The park opens daily from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with ride-all-you-can passes starting at around PHP 599. Insider tip: visit on weekdays to avoid long lines, and don't miss the Snow World attraction, a rare cold-weather experience in tropical Manila. The park is easily accessible via the LRT-1 Gil Puyat Station, followed by a short jeepney ride.
šļø Shop Till You Drop
Pasay is a shopper's paradise, home to some of the largest malls in Asia. SM Mall of Asia (MOA) is the fourth-largest mall in the Philippines, featuring over 500 shops, a cinema, and an Olympic-sized ice skating rink. For budget finds, head to the nearby Cartimar Shopping Center, where you can haggle for shoes, bags, and fresh produce. Both malls are open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and MOA offers free shuttle services from key points in Pasay.
š Cultural Shows at CCP
The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) along Roxas Boulevard is the premier venue for performing arts in the country. Check their calendar for ballet, orchestra, and theater productions; ticket prices vary but often start at PHP 500. Even if you don't catch a show, the CCP's modernist architecture and surrounding gardens are worth a quick visit. The center is a 15-minute walk from the EDSA LRT station.
š½ļø Feast on Local Flavors
Pasay's food scene is a mix of street eats and international cuisine. For authentic Filipino dishes, try the seafood at Dampa sa Macapagal, where you pick fresh catch and have it cooked on the spot; a meal for two costs around PHP 800. If you're craving something different, the MOA Complex has a row of restaurants offering Korean, Japanese, and Italian fare. Most establishments are open from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
āļø Plane Spotting Near NAIA
Aviation enthusiasts will enjoy plane spotting at the NAIA Road area, especially near the end of Runway 06/24. The best spot is the open parking lot of the Philippine Air Force Aerospace Museum (open Tuesday to Sunday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, free admission), where you can watch aircraft take off and land. Bring binoculars and a camera, and don't forget to check the museum's vintage aircraft display.
š° Casino and Nightlife
For a taste of Pasay's nightlife, visit the integrated resorts along Roxas Boulevard, such as City of Dreams Manila and Solaire Resort. These casinos offer gaming, live entertainment, and upscale dining, with a dress code of smart casual. Even if you don't gamble, the free fountain shows and people-watching are entertaining. Most casinos are open 24/7, but the minimum bet for table games starts at PHP 500.
š Getting Around Pasay
Pasay is well-connected by public transport. The LRT-1 line runs through the city with stations like EDSA, Libertad, and Gil Puyat, with fares from PHP 15 to 30. Jeepneys and buses ply major roads like Taft Avenue and Roxas Boulevard, but be prepared for traffic during rush hours (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM). For convenience, ride-hailing apps like Grab are widely available and a trip within Pasay typically costs PHP 100 to 200.

Appreciate the effort here, the MOA Baywalk timing is spot on. One addition: the Pasay Rotonda area near the LRT-1 EDSA station has a night market worth wandering, cheap barbecue and isaw stalls set up around 6 PM. It's grittier than the mall side but gives you a better feel for the city.

Skip the Dampa pick-and-cook if you're solo, portions are sized for groups and I got charged PHP 900 for one person's worth.

The CCP suggestion is solid, but check the schedule first since shows aren't nightly.
