Manila began as a Muslim settlement at the mouth of the Pasig River along the shores of Manila Bay.

One of the most familiar sights in "peace negotiations" between Manila and Muslim rebels is the presence of uniformed Indonesian officers by the side of the rebels, with the deceptive title of "facilitators".
Manila ignored criticism from the United States and Iraq's interim government, which accused it of bowing to terrorists, and completed the withdrawal of its humanitarian contingent of troops Monday in response to demands from the kidnappers.

 The Asian Pacific Post - Cash-strapped Manila hunts tax fugitives in Richmond   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Manila, which is in a financial crisis, recently announced a new direction in the prosecution of multibillion-peso tax-credit scam cases and has transferred all investigations and files, including the Chingkoe case to the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
The cases were previously handled by the Special Presidential Task Force 156 which had been criticized for failing to land a single conviction in the criminal cases, and not being able to collect for the government on any of the dozens of civil cases filed in various courts.
He told media in Manila that the amount involved in the cases could have helped plug the fiscal crisis had they been collected properly or the civil-recovery cases had been pursued more earnestly.

 Scars of war - INQ7.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The story of Manila and its environs, for most of the decades since independence was achieved, has been the story of exodus after exodus (and, yes, wave upon wave of new immigration).
The thing was that with Manila's growing population, land grew increasingly expensive and it seemed much less expensive, not to mention convenient, to build from scratch in places like Quezon City rather than find new uses for areas covered with ruins and probably drenched with blood.
In Manila, old buildings continued to be torn down; the mansions of the now Forbes Park crowd were sold off and turned into nightclubs; the homes of the less exalted bourgeoisie in Malate gave way to the small cafés of the emerging avante-garde set.

 RICCIARDONE LEAVES EMBASSY POST TO HELP ESTABLISH U.S. EMBASSY IN IRAQ
Ricciardone is expected to be on leave from his post in Manila until past June 30, Washington’s self-imposed deadline for setting up a sovereign government in Iraq.
Ricciardone was posted to the Philippines in February 2002, after more than a year when their embassy had no ambassador.
It will be a homecoming of sorts for Ricciardone, who before being posted to Manila was the United States’ "special coordinator for the transition of Iraq." This meant working with the Iraqi opposition to undermine the government of Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein, and encouraging the spread of democratic ideals in that country.

 GN Online: Arroyo to take over foreign affairs post
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo while formally announcing that she will be assuming the post of Secretary of Foreign Affairs in a concurrent capacity, spelt out the principles of the Philippines' foreign policy doctrine that showed a pronounced pro-U.S. tilt.
The president cited realities that will guide her foreign policy that include the paramount influence of China, Japan and the United States in the security and economic evolution of East Asia, and the crucial role of overseas Filipinos in the socio-economic stability of the country.
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks in Washington and New York and the U.S. subsequent response against terrorist groups, America has regarded Manila as its staunchest ally in Southeast Asia, a region that is also known to harbour extremists groups with ties to the Al Qaida.

Eleven bundles, some of them registered, of La Solidaridad were withheld in the Central Post Office of Manila, according to word sent us, thus trampling the inviolability of private mail and the sanctity of registered mail; covers mutilated and destroyed.
Certainly, because they cannot bring to us the angry reach of that government — that administration and its chorus of friars — they no wish to molest and victimize the innocent, who have nothing to do with this modest publication which checkmates the friars and the abuses of the administration and of the government.
Since the Post Office no longer respects the privacy of the mail, we shall look for other means to send our subscribers copies of our forthnightly, La Solidaridad.

Meant as a temporary answer to post-Liberation Manila's transport crisis in the mid-1940s, the public utility jeepney (PUJ) continues to confound critics with its swaggering staying power.
That much of it is handcrafted - and that no two PUJs are ever alike - should be welcome news to those who deplore mass cloning in today's high tech.
Moves to ban the PUJ are doomed as long as no other transit system is adequate to take on Manila's commuting millions.
