The City of Manila is the capital of my beloved Philippines. It was the first chartered city by virtue of the Philippine Commission Act 183 on July 31, 1901. The City gained autonomy with the passage of Republic Act No. 409 or the “Revised Charter of the City of Manila” on June 18, 1949.
The City is closer to my heart because this is where I lived, studied and worked during my college and law school days.
Manila, Manila, I keep coming back to Manila 🙂
