About Manila

Manila is the capital, the second most populous city after Quezon City, and one of the most densely packed places on earth at nearly 45,000 people per square kilometre. Intramuros, the walled Spanish city, is here, and so is Binondo, which claims to be the oldest Chinatown anywhere and cooks like it. Outside the country the name gets used for the whole metropolis.
