Metro Manila has many central business districts (CBD), which categorizes it under the [[multiple nuclei model]] in [[human geography]] terms. The most prominent CBDs are the [[Makati Central Business District]], [[Bonifacio Global City]], [[Ortigas Center]], [[Binondo]], and [[Filinvest City]]. The region also has plenty of [[mixed-use development]]s owned and developed by private corporations such as the [[Ayala Corporation]], [[LT Group|Eton Properties]], [[Megaworld Corporation]] and [[SM Prime Holdings]].

The [[Makati Central Business District]] is the premier business and commercial center of the Philippines. It is the headquarters to most of the multinational corporations residing in the Philippines as well as the country's biggest commercial firms and BPO companies.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Working in the Philippines |url=http://www.makeitmakati.com/about-the-city/working-in-the-philippines |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130427180723/http://www.makeitmakati.com/about-the-city/working-in-the-philippines |archive-date=April 27, 2013 |access-date=March 5, 2015 |publisher=Make it Makati}}</ref> The Central Business District has an office stock of 1.1&nbsp;million square meters of Grade A and premium office space.<ref name="Fort Bonifacio">{{Cite news |last=Roderick T. dela Cruz |date=January 3, 2015 |title=Fort Bonifacio eclipsing Makati CBD |work=Manila Standard Today |url=http://manilastandardtoday.com/2015/01/03/fort-bonifacio-eclipsing-makati-cbd/ |url-status=dead |access-date=March 20, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150711091224/http://manilastandardtoday.com/2015/01/03/fort-bonifacio-eclipsing-makati-cbd |archive-date=July 11, 2015}}</ref> It is the home to the [[List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila|tallest skyscrapers in the region]] as well as [[List of tallest buildings in the Philippines|in the country]].

[[Bonifacio Global City]] is the newest business district of Manila and is the premier financial and lifestyle center of the metropolis. It is located in the north-western part of [[Taguig]]. It used to be a military base known as [[Fort Bonifacio]]. The Bases and Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) privatized the property and its income from the sale was intended to be used for the modernization of the [[Armed Forces of the Philippines]]. Upon its privatization, the place was transformed into a business hub featuring numerous tourist attractions such as [[The Mind Museum]], high-end shops, towering office skyscrapers, and luxurious lofts and condominiums. Bonifacio Global City will soon overtake the [[Makati Central Business District]] as the premier financial center of the country in the future. One of the reasons for it is that the [[Philippine Stock Exchange]] relocated its headquarters in BGC. Also, it has more spaces and land for future developments. It is also the most active business district, generating over 50 percent of the growth in property market and has more available space for rent or lease and sale than Makati.<ref name="Fort Bonifacio" />

[[Ortigas Center]] is a central business district located in [[Mandaluyong]] and [[Pasig]], with a small portion of it located in [[Quezon City]]. Landmarks in Ortigas include the [[EDSA Shrine]], [[Shangri-La Plaza (shopping mall)|Shangri-La Plaza]] and the [[SM Megamall]]. Furthermore, [[The Medical City]] has its main campus in Ortigas Center. Important financial and national institutions headquartered in Ortigas are the [[Asian Development Bank]], [[Union Bank of the Philippines]] and the [[National Economic and Development Authority]]. Ortigas is also the home to the headquarters of [[San Miguel Corporation]], [[Jollibee Foods Corporation]], [[Lopez Group of Companies]] and [[Meralco|The Manila Electric Company]].
