Muntinlupa was once notoriously known as the home of the New Bilibid Prison, where the country's most dangerous criminals languish. Nowadays, it has largely shaken off this negative image to become one of the most progressive cities in the country. Muntinlupa is home to some of the best malls in Metro Manila and is the location of Ayala Alabang Village, the biggest in the country and where many of the wealthiest families live.
