Manila
The Philippines is a country of
7,107 vibrant and colourful islands, all pulsating with life and teeming
with flavour. Yet, it is in Manila where you can hear its heart beating
the loudest! Manila is asophisticated capital - the seat of power, centre
of trade and industry, commerce, education, entertainment and the arts. It
is an invigorating blend of some of the country’s oldest and richest
heritage treasures, and the most modern metropolitan features of the
Philippine landscape. Its people have acquired an urban cosmopolitan air
about them, but have managed to retain their warm and friendly smiles that
have made Filipino hospitality renowned throughout the world. Manila
started as a small tribal settlement along the Pasig River before it
became the seat of Spanish colonial rule in Asia during the 16th century.
For more than 300 years, Manila served as the center of Spanish military
might in the region, and an important port in the trans-Pacific galleon
trade. When the Philippines was ceded to the United States by the late
19th century, Manila transformed into a cosmopolitan city, patterned after
the styles of American post-colonial designs. Today, surrounded by
ultramodern skyscrapers, one can still catch glimpses of this
Spanish-American past. Manila has thrived and survived it all, a bustling
megalopolis of 17 cities and municipalities and over 12 million
inhabitants.
