City of Manila
Manila is the capital of the Philippines, one of the largest megacities of Southeast Asia, is the main "gateway" of the country, so you will find yourself in Manila for the first time on the land of the Philippines.

According to subjective feelings, modern Manila is very similar to cities like Moscow or Los Angeles. It combines rich business districts, a cultural and historical center, expensive residential areas and a whole quarter of the poor (Tondo). You will see the skyscrapers of Makati and the villas of the Forbes Park district surrounded by high fences, where the richest people of the city live. Representatives of the middle class, as a rule, live in the suburbs, going to work in the morning on roads crowded with cars.

History of the Philippines
The Philippine Islands were discovered for Europeans by the Magellan expedition on March 16, 1521 and were named after the Spanish King Philip. This was the beginning of Spanish colonial rule, which lasted for over 300 years. Under Spanish rule, Filipinos experienced oppression and injustice. This caused riots, which provoked a revolution and weakened Spanish rule.

In 1898, Spain waged war against America. The war against America ended in complete defeat, and Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States of America in accordance with the Paris Peace Treaty. The Filipino people resented the new colonization and demanded independence. This led to the outbreak of the Philippine-American War, which lasted from 1899 to 1902. The Americans won, but in the end, granted the people of the Philippines full sovereignty. In March 1934, the Philippine Islands became an independent state in the Commonwealth of the United States of America.

On January 2, 1942, Japanese invaders occupied Manila and all other parts of the Philippines. The Japanese established a puppet government, the Second Republic, headed by President Jose P. Laurel. It lasted until the end of World War 2.

General Douglas MacArthur and his troops landed in Leyte and engaged in the battle against the Japanese invaders on October 24, 1944. This was the beginning of the liberation of the country from Japan. The Philippines was liberated by the US army and gained full independence in February 1945.

Presidents of the republic tried to implement measures to rebuild the country: Manuel Rojas (1946-1948), Elpidio Quirino (1948-1953), Ramon Magsaysay (1953-1957), Carlos P. Garcia (1957-1961), Diosdado Macapagal (1962-1965) and Ferdinand Marcos (1966-1986).

President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law on September 21, 1972, and remained in power until he was overthrown by the Forces of the People's Revolution on February 25, 1986. Corazon Aquino was sworn in as President (1986-1992) and was the first female president of the Philippines. The administration of Corazon Aquino tried to carry out political and economic transformations in the interests of the people. This required the adoption of a new constitution.

When Corazon Aquino's presidential term ended, Fidel V. Ramos (1992-1998) succeeded her as the new president. He sought to industrialize the Philippines at the turn of the century. His vision was embodied in the socio-economic program Philippines-2000, which provided Filipinos with the opportunity to be competitive in the world market. This program was carried out very successfully and became one of the greatest legacies of the Ramos administration.

After President Ramos, Joseph Estrada was elected with huge support from the masses. His administration established Angat Pinoy 2004, a socio-economic program. The program focuses on economic recovery and more equitable distribution of the country's resources. Unfortunately, after two years as president, Estrada was forced to resign as a result of the "color" revolution. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo took the oath of office on January 20, 2001, and became the 14th President of the Republic.

Her administration has created a strong program for the Republic - ten control points to help achieve progress and reduce poverty. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was president from 2001 to 2010.

In the May 2010 elections, Benigno Aquino III won and was sworn in as the 15th President of the Philippines. His administration focused on Tuwid pa Daan, an anti-corruption campaign that continues to the present. His term of office ended in 2016. Now the President of the Philippines Rodrigo "Rodi" Roa Duterte is a Filipino lawyer and politician of Visayan origin, President of the Philippines since June 30, 2016. He served as mayor of Davao City on the island of Mindanao for seven terms, for a total of more than 22 years. He was also the vice mayor of the city and a member of the Congress of the Philippines.

History of Manila
During the 13th century, Manila was a fortified settlement with commercial quarters near the mouth of the Pasig River. Under Malay grammar, the official name of the town was Seludong/Selurung. In addition, the city became known as "Maynila" by the self-designation of its inhabitants, after the flowering mangrove plants Nila growing on the shore of Manila Bay.

The city became the capital of the Philippines during Spanish colonial rule. The residence of the Spanish colonial administration was located within the fortress walls of Old Manila (now known as Intramuros, "within the walls"). The walls were built to protect the city from Filipino insurgents and keep the invaders at bay. This could not stop the Filipinos from forming pirate communities outside the walls of Manila. The city became the center of the Manila-Acapulco trade, thanks to the regular flights of Spanish galleons for the import and export of goods from America to Southeast Asia.

Manila was briefly occupied by Great Britain (1762-1764) as part of the Seven Years' War and remained the capital of the Philippines under the temporary administration of the British governor. The signing of the Paris Peace Treaty led to the restoration of Spanish colonial rule over Manila and the Philippines as a whole. In 1832, the city was opened to foreign trade and commerce has flourished since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.

In the 1890s, Manila became the center of anti-Spanish movements. The first uprising against Spanish colonial rule was launched in the city of Bagumbayan by patriot Rizal, with the support of the Americans, in December 1896. The uprising lasted about 1 year. The Spanish fleet was defeated in Manila Bay on May 1, 1898 by American troops. The city surrendered and Manila became the headquarters of the American administration during its rule in the Philippines.

When World War II began, Manila was declared an open city, but was occupied by Japanese invaders in January 1942. Most of the city was destroyed during the Battle of Manila, a battle between the combined forces of the Philippines and the United States against the Japanese in order to retake the city. This led to the fact that Manila became the second most destroyed capital in the world after Warsaw, Poland, during the Second World War.

Manila became the capital of the newly independent Republic of the Philippines. The city was once again known as the Pearl of the East after huge efforts were made to restore the city. The first elected mayor of the city was Arsenio Lacson (1952-1962), then Antonio Villegas (1962-1971), and then Ramon Bagatsing (1972-1986). These three mayors were known for their long terms of government as Manila mayors, but most importantly for their significant contribution to the development of the city and progress.

Since the 19th century, Manila has experienced almost continuous rapid growth, which has turned Manila into a major economic center now.
