Metro Manila, the most populous metropolitan area in the Philippines, the seat of government and also the National Capital Region, is home to the tallest skyscrapers in the country. Prominent areas where skyscrapers stand are the Makati Central Business District and Makati Poblacion in Makati; Ortigas Center in Pasig–Mandaluyong–Quezon City; Bonifacio Global City in Taguig; Ermita, Malate and Binondo in the City of Manila; Eastwood City and Araneta City in Quezon City; Robinsons Cybergate in Mandaluyong; and Alabang in Muntinlupa.
The history of highrise buildings in Manila probably began with the construction of the eight-storey Manila Hotel in 1912, which is considered the first modern high-rise building in the Philippines.[1] The constructions of high-rise buildings also shifted from the City of Manila to its surrounding area, including the transformation of Makati into the country's financial and business center in the 1960s.
The first skyscraper (150 meters and above) in the metropolis is the 44-storey Pacific Plaza Condominium, which was completed in 1992. The Federal Land Tower (Metrobank Financial Center) is the tallest building in the Philippines since its completion in 2017 with the pinnacle height of 318 meters (1,043 ft).
This list ranks the highest completed skyscrapers and buildings in Metro Manila — the National Capital Region of the Philippines as of July 2022. These stand at least 150 metres (492 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement according to Emporis and CTBUH (unless otherwise stated, the two sources agree on the height of a building). The list has a minimum height limit because there is a large number of highrises below that in Metro Manila and the term skyscraper usually refers to buildings as tall and taller.
An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more structures, and the "Year" column indicates the year in which it was completed. Some authoritative sources are The Skyscraper Center and Emporis.
The number of skyscrapers in the cities of the national capital district as of June 2022:
As of September 2022, there are 215 buildings in the list below.

As of mid 2022, this lists more than 40 highrise and supertall buildings under construction or preparation that are expected to rise 150 metres (492 ft) or more in Metro Manila.
The Philippine Diamond Tower, estimated to have a height of 612 m and finished by 2019, is a broadcast tower, not a residential or commercial building (but was cancelled due to unknown reasons). Skycity, estimated to have a height of 335 m but troubled by a lawsuit, only has had excavation work done and has been on-hold with no construction progress since 2005.[281]
Topping out (or topping off) is when the last beam (or its equivalent) is placed atop a structure. For convenience, the entries of the sortable table is arranged alphabetically.
The tallest entry in the table is The Stratford Residences at 312 meters.
