Description

INTRODUCTION (NCR) The National Capital Region (NCR), commonly known as Metropolitan Manila, is the political, economic, and educational core of the country. It is the smallest area in the Philippines, yet it is the most densely inhabited, with nearly 12 million Filipinos living there. It is divided into 1,705 barangays and has sixteen (16) highly urbanized cities: Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, Taguig, and Valenzuela. HISTORY Manila, influenced by international powers, became the capital of the Philippines under Spanish era in 1571. Mariquina was also the capital during the United States' colonization from 1898 to 1899. During the Philippine Commonwealth, the recreation of Manila was commissioned in 1901 to create the grand Plan of Manila, which included the places and parishes of Binondo, Ermita, Intramuros, Malate, Manila, Pandacan, Quiapo, Sampaloc, San Andrés Bukid, San Fernando de Dilao, San Miguel, San Nicolas, Santa Ana de Sapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Mesa, and Tondo. President Quezon inaugurated Quezon City in 1939 as the country's capital city from 1948 to 1976. It was reverted to Manila by Presidential Decree No. 940, which stated that Manila has always been the principal city of the Philippines to the Filipino people and in the eyes of the world.

The Japanese destroyed the City of Greater Manila with the establishment of the Philippine Executive Commission to rule the country's conquered areas. The City of Greater Manila served as a model for modern-day Metro Manila and the administrative duties of the Metro Manila Governor, which were formed under the Marcos regime. Metro Manila was formally formed on November 7, 1975, by Presidential Decree No. 824, and is managed by the Metropolitan Manila Commission. The metropolitan region was proclaimed the National Capital Region of the Philippines on June 2, 1978, by Presidential Decree No. 1396, with the President's wife Imelda Marcos as the first governor. President Corazon Aquino restructured the Metropolitan Manila Commission and renamed it the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority in 1995, with the President appointing the chairwoman.

LUNGSOD NG MAYNILA (FACTS) HISTORY Manila is the capital and largest city of the Philippines. The city serves as the country's economic, political, social, and cultural hub. It is situated on the island of Luzon, along the eastern side of Manila Bay, near the mouth of the Pasig River. The name of the city, originally Maynilad, is derived from the nilad plant, a flowering shrub suited to marshy conditions that previously flourished abundantly along the river's banks; the name was reduced first to Maynila and subsequently to its current form.

By presidential decree in 1975, Manila and its neighboring towns and municipalities were merged to function as a single administrative territory known as Metropolitan Manila (also known as the National Capital Region); Manila city proper occupies just a tiny fraction of that area. Manila has been the capital of the Philippines for four centuries and serves as the country's industrial center as well as its international port of entry. It is located around 700 miles (1,100 km) southeast of Hong Kong on one of the best protected harbors in the Pacific area. Since its devastation in World War II and its restoration, the city has seen tremendous economic expansion; it is now afflicted by the usual metropolitan issues of pollution, traffic congestion, and overcrowding. However, steps have been done to address these issues. Area city, 15 square miles (38 square km); National Capital Region, 244 square miles (633 square km). Pop. (2010) city, 1,652,171; National Capital Region, 11,855,975; (2015) city, 1,780,148; National Capital Region, 12,877,253.

CALOOCAN Caloocan was originally known as Aromahan or Libis Espina by the Spanish colonizers due to its location in a "libis" (lowland) when it was simply a tiny neighborhood in Tondo. According to some folklore, the city's current name, Caloocan, was derived from the Tagalog root word "lo-ok" (bay), owing to its proximity to Manila Bay. Others said it derived from the term "sulok" (corner), because Caloocan was once located at the intersection of the old towns of Tondo and Tambobong (Malabon). Caloocan is therefore a play on the Tagalog phrase "kasuluk-sulokan" (or kaloob-looban), which meaning "innermost place." Caloocan was split from Tondo and established an independent municipality in 1815. Its ancient area included the Marikina, San Mateo, and Montalban slopes in the east, the Tinajeros, Tanza, and Tala rivers in the north, San Francisco del Monte, Sampalok, Sta. Cruz, and Tondo in the south, and Dagat-Dagatan or Aromahan in the west. Caloocan's residents eventually turned the ancient town into a city in 1961, thanks to a referendum held in line with House Bill 6083, which was enacted and ratified by both houses of the former Philippine Congress. This resulted in then-President Diosdado Macapagal signing RA 3278, establishing Caloocan as a city, on February 16, 1962.
