Where to stay in Pasig

Pasig, officially the City of Pasig (Filipino: Lungsod ng Pasig), is a highly urbanized city in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 853,050 people.

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.

Because of Pasig's size, the area can be categorized into distinct sections. Pasig is made up of several barangays, which for the sake of the guide, will be placed together depending on proximity and similarity.

Pasig City is home to the Ortigas Center, where business and financial activities necessitate hotels of premier quality. As such, many four-star and five-star hotels are found here, several of which have official websites at which one can reserve rooms at lower rates than would be typically found using a travel agent.

Getting around

Jeepneys are available throughout the city, as well as tricycles and pedicabs in smaller residential areas. Most routes originate from the old downtown, at the public market. Jeepneys from the city's mega market are bound for Ugong, while those in San Joaquin near the city's boundary with Pateros are bound for nearby Napindan. There are also jeepneys that pass through C-5 from Ortigas Ave. near Ugong to Bagong Ilog. Pasig operates a limited free-fare minibus service from the city hall, with limited utility for visitors.
