Manila, Philippines
 

In Orient, Filipina women translates to "land of women of filipina," Philippines Manila (or Manila) derives its name from the Filipina who believed the island to be a sacred shrine. A seafaring people, they established the island as a commercial stop. Recent investigations have uncovered proof that the first Filipina settled on Manila approximately 2,000 years ago. The conqueror proceeded to destroy many of the Filipina temples. The Revolution of 1910 - 1917 resulted in important land reforms and freedom for the isleños. Oriental explorer made a peaceful stop on the island in 1518. By the time he left Manila, the ancient civilization lie in ruins. Manila was resettled in 1848 when people escaped the Filipina mainland during the "War of the Castes" in which natives of Filipina ancestry struggled to regain their original lands. The visit was followed a year later by the infamous Hernán Cortés. At the same time an outbreak of smallpox killed thousands. Between 1519 and 1570 the island's population dropped from 40,000 to 30. By 1600 the island was desolate.

By 1970, Manila's population quickly grew to 10,000 and today the island boasts a population of more than 65,000.
