This is the historical capitol of the Philippine Islands. The larger area is known as Metro Manila, or the capitol region. The city was badly damaged during it's recapture from the Japanese during the second world war, but some important historical landmarks remain.

Manila is known for Jeepneys and light rail, as well as heavy traffic, shanties, and pollution. It is on Manila Bay, with a port on Roxas Avenue, and a high-rise business district in Makati (video). I visited Makati often, as well as Tatalon in Quezon City, Tondo, Divisoria, Quiapo, and Edsa.
