Manila, Philippines Maynilad, Intramuros, Isigne y Siempre Leal Ciudad The pre‐Hispanic name comes from the Tagalog (the language of northern Luzon)
may ‘there are’ and
nila ‘water lilies’ which were abundant along the shores of Manila Bay. The Spanish destroyed the original Malay settlement and built a new fortress city which they called Intramuros ‘Within Walls’ in 1571. In 1574 it was renamed the ‘Noble (or Distinguished) and Ever Loyal City’. It became the capital of the new colony and of the American administration when it took power in 1898; and of the newly independent Republic of the Philippines in 1946. However, in 1948–76 Quezon City was the national capital. Manila is also the name of the National Capital Region.
