Manila Quick Facts
A Traveler's Guide to Manila
Manila is a city that is located in the island chain nation of the Philippines. It is the capital and largest city in the country and is the primary city in the greater Manila Metropolitan area. It is on the eastern shore of Manila Bay and has a population of almost 2 million. It is the most densely populated city in the world and is the 11th largest city in the world. Tagalog, English, and Spanish are spoken in Manila.The Philippine islands were first conquered by the Spanish and named in honor of King Philip of Spain. Over the next few centuries the islands were under the control of several nations, including Spain, China, Britain and Japan. Eventually the people rebelled against foreign control and allowed the United States to help them rebuild the city. During World War 2 the city was destroyed by the Japanese. It has since been rebuilt with help from the US and other countries.
Manila has a tropical wet and dry climate. This means that temperatures are going to be warm year round, with summer temperature staying in the 90's Fahrenheit and winter temperatures staying in the 70's Fahrenheit. Rain falls most heavily in the months of June through November. The rainfall can be monsoon-like at times.
The city of Manila has historically been very tolerant of all religions and has allowed religious groups to construct their holy temples wherever they please. Because of this there are many old structures throughout Manila; everything from Buddhist temples to Roman Catholic churches. The Manila Cathedral, Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, and the Minor Basilica of St. Lorenzo are the most visited ones.
The most popular annual religious event is the Feast of the Black Nazarene which is held each January and attracts thousands of visitors to the city.
Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the largest airport in Manila. It is located approximately 4 miles from the city center and offers flights with international carriers as well as Philippine Airlines.
