There is a lot to see. A lot of traffic. I recently went and people who I met said that they always expect people to be late for meet ups because of traffic ... even if you leave hours early!! One day is really not enough with this traffic.
Seriously though, there are some interesting historic places like intramuros and a few churches. But really what makes me sad is how it was a lot of Manila was destroyed during the second world war. If you have time, a tour of intramurous by Carlos Celdran (a mix of historian-comedian) is worth going on. However, if you are an American, be prepared for some uncomfortable listening.
