Located on the northern island of Luzon, Manila is the governmental seat and cosmopolitan center of the Philippines. Manila is one of the 12 cities and 5 municipalities that make up the Greater Metro Manila region, which is a densely populated, often confusing, lively center of activity. Physically, Metro Manila is a combination of old world Spanish Colonial relics that once stood majestically prior to World War II, extreme poverty, and hi-life modern chic.
