Manila Harbor, located at the east end of Manila Bay, consists of North Harbor and South Harbor, both of which are protected by breakwaters. The two harbors are separated by the Pasig River. The city of Manila, located on both sides of the Pasig River, is the principal port of the Philippines and a port of entry. The channel between the quarantine anchorage and the entrance to South Harbor is dredged to 11m. The north and south edges of the channel are defined by the light on the head of the west breakwater and the light on the northern head of the south breakwater, each in line with the Customs House.
