Thinking of a place to bring your family on weekends? Try bringing them to the Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Eco-Tourism Area (LPPCHEA), an urban sanctuary where visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis and enjoy being one with nature. LPPCHEA is a 175-hectare nature reserve situated south of Manila Bay. Considered as the “last natural bastion” in Metro Manila, the area serves as sanctuary for varied flora and fauna, including more than 80 bird species, some come from as far away as Siberia, and 11 mangrove trees species.
