    Manila (/mnl/; Filipino: Maynil, pronounced [majnila] or [majnila]),

    officially the City of Manila (Filipino: Lungsod ng Maynil [lusod n


    majnila]), is the capital of the Philippines and the most densely populated
    city proper in the world.[3] It was the first chartered City by virtue of the
    Philippine Commission Act 183 on July 31, 1901 and gained autonomy with
    the passage of Republic Act No. 409 or the "Revised Charter of the City of
    Manila" on June 18, 1949.[9]
    The Spanish City of Manila was founded on June 24, 1571, by Spanish
    conquistador Miguel Lpez de Legazpi, which was regarded as the official
    foundation date of the city. Manila was also the seat of power for most of
    the country's colonial rulers. It is the home to many historic sites, some of
    which were built during the 16th century. In 2016, the Globalization and
    World Cities Research Network listed Manila as an alpha- global city.[10] The
    city proper is home to 1,780,148 people in 2015[6], and is the historic core of
    a built-up area that extends well beyond its administrative limits. The term
    "Manila" is commonly used to refer to the whole metropolitan area, the
    greater metropolitan area or the city proper. The officially-defined
    metropolitan area called Metro Manila, the capital region of the Philippines,
    includes the much larger Quezon City and the Makati Central Business
    District. It is the most populous region of the country, one of the most
    populous urban areas in the world,[11] and is one of the wealthiest regions in
    Southeast Asia.[12][13] With 71,263 people per square kilometer, Manila is
    also the most densely populated city proper in the world. [6][7]
