About Manila City, Philippines: Manila, officially the City of Manila, is the capital of the Philippines and one of the 16 cities that make up the metropolitan area of Manila. It is ranked as one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world with a population of around 20 million people. It is located on the eastern shores of Manila Bay on the western side of the island of Luzon. Several cities lies on its border: Navotas and Caloocan cities to the north, Quezon City to the northeast, San Juan and Mandaluyong cities to the east, Makati City to the southeast, and Pasay City to the south.

With a population of 1,660,714 Manila is the second most populous city in the Philippines behind only neighboring Quezon City. The city's inhabitants, however, inhabit an area of only 38.55 square kilometers, making Manila not only the most densely populated city in the Philippines but also the most densely populated city in the world.

The city is divided into six legislative districts and consists of sixteen geographical districts: Binondo, Ermita, Intramuros, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, Port Area, Quiapo, Sampaloc, San Andres, San Miguel, San Nicolas, Santa Ana, Santa Cruz, Santa Mesa and Tondo. Within their precincts can be found areas of bustling commerce and some of the most historically and culturally significant iconic landmarks in the country as well as the seat of the executive and judicial branches of the government. It is home to many scientific and educational institutions, as well as numerous sport facilities. These make the city a major political, commercial, cosmopolitan, cultural, educational, religious, and transportation center of the Philippines. The city has been classified as a "Beta+" global city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network in 2008. Manila City Hotels
