| WHAT'S
IN METRO MANILA. The capital of the Philippines - its
heart and soul -- is Manila. It sets the rhythm of life in this
archipelago and is a pulsating hub that blends the Oriental
with the Occidental, the quaint with the modern, the mundane
with the extraordinary. Manila was born out of the ashes of
a once flourishing Malay settlement by the banks of the Pasig
River. In 1571, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi established the Ever
Loyal City of Manila which, until 1898, was the seat of Spanish
colonial rule in Asia. He built the city within walls and called
it Intramuros. An anchor tourist destination, Manila is the
very core of the 7,000 times more islands that make up the Philippines.
It is a center for the performing arts in Asia. (more
