Today, June 24, marks the 443rd Foundation Day of the City of Manila.
By virtue of Presidential Decree No. 940, s. 1976, the City of Manila was designated as Capital while Metro Manila is the seat of the national government.
PCDSPO joins the commemoration by publishing two infographic maps with a special focus on Manila: the first showcasing the city as one of many pre-Hispanic polities throughout the islands that make up the Philippine archipelago and another chronicling the capitals of the Philippines—a story of departure and return to what the Spaniards once heralded as the Distinguished and Ever Loyal City. Together, the two infographic maps portray Manila’s evolution from a Spanish conquest into a modern metropolis.
