Manila City of Manila, is the capital of thePhilippines and one of the 16 cities that make up the metropolitan area of Manila. It is ranked as one of themost populous metropolitan areas in the world with a population of around 20 million people. It is located on the eastern shores of Manila Bay on the western side of the island of Luzon. Several cities lies on its border:Navotas and Caloocan cities to the north, Quezon City to the northeast, San Juan and Mandaluyong cities to the east, Makati City to the southeast, and Pasay City to the south.With a population of 1,660,714 Manila is the second most populous city in the Philippines behind only neighboring Quezon City. The city's inhabitants, however, inhabit an area of only 38.55 square kilometers, making Manila not only the most densely populated city in the Philippines but also the most densely populated city in the world. The earliest written accounts of the city date back to the Spanish era which describe a native settlementalready existing in the area when the Spanish first arrived. Manila eventually became the center of Spanish activity in the Far East and one end of the Manila–Acapulco galleon trade route leading to it being called the "Pearl of the Orient". Later, it saw the arrival of the Americans who made contributions to the city's urban planning and development only to have most of those improvements lost in the devastation of World War II. Since then the city has been rebuilt.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。1 J: D+ P# f# |8 G( J+ g0 ?) H
