City of Manila
Main article: Philippine history
Based on the History of Manila, in the 13th century, the ancient City of Manila consisted of shops and reception offices along the shores of the Pasig River, north of the old settlements. The official name given by the Malays to the city was Seludong or Selurung, which was also used in a region on the island of Luzon, and it was suggested that it was the capital of the Kingdom of Tondo. The city is also known by the name given by ethnic Tagalog groups, Manila, first known as Maynilad. The name comes from their word, a type of flowering plant that grows along the coast, which is used to make soap for trade; it comes from the word mayo, which primarily refers to the place where something is grown (they can be Sanskrit as their "chief indigo"). [1] (The so-called plant name is a mere myth.) [2] [3] The city has more than 100 parks scattered throughout the city.
Manila became the seat of the Spanish colonial government when it officially ruled the Philippine islands for three centuries from 1565 to 1898. When the British occupied the Philippines, the city was governed by the British Gran for two years from 1762 to 1764 about the Seven Years War. The city remained the capital of the Philippines under the auspices of the British government, acting through archbishops of Manila and the Real Audiencia. The rebel army against the British is in Pampanga.
Manila was identified as the capital of Manila-Acapulco which lasted for three centuries and delivered equipment ranging from Mexico to Southeast Asia. In 1899, the United States purchased the Philippines over the Spaniards and ruled the entire archipelago until 1946. [4] During the second world war, large parts of the city were destroyed. The city was the second most devastated city following Warsaw, Poland during the second world war. The region of most of Manila was an independent entity in 1975.
Manila is a global city and is known as "Beta +" according to the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network in 2008. [5]
