It is bordered on the north by Pasay City, by Taguig City to the northeast, Muntinlupa City to the southeast, by Las Piñas City to the southwest, and by Manila Bay to the west.
Palanyag, the old name for the city of Parañaque, generally means "my beloved", among other definitions, for as far as its residents are concerned, this best describes their affection for their hometown. Another version came from the combination of the terms "palayan" and "palalayag", the former meaning ricefields of which the city once abounded in and the latter pertaining to the sailing and fishing occupation of many of its residents.

Andres Bonifacio
Andres Bonifacio y de Castro was born on November 30, 1863 and died on May 10, 1897. Andres Bonifacio was a Filipino nationalist and revolutionary. He was a founder and leader of the Katipunan movement which sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the Philippine Revolution. He is considered a de facto national hero of the Philippines. Bonifacio is also considered by some Filipino historians to be the first president of the Philippines, but he is not officially recognized as such.
Some historians such as Milagros Guerrero, Emmanuel Encarnacion, and Ramon Villegas have pushed for the recognition of Bonifacio as the first president of the Philippines instead of Aguinaldo, the officially recognized one. This view is based on his position of president/Supremo of the Katipunan revolutionary government from 1896-97. This view also emphasizes that Bonifacio established a government through the Katipunan before a government headed by Aguinaldo was formed at the Tejeros Convention. Guerrero writes that Bonifacio had a concept of the Philippine nation called Haring Bayang Katagalugan ("Sovereign Tagalog Nation") which was displaced by Aguinaldo's concept of Filipinas. In documents predating Tejeros and the First Philippine Republic, Bonifacio is called the president of the "Tagalog Republic".

History of Ninoy Aquino International Airport
In 1972, a fire caused substantial damage to the original terminal building, and a slightly smaller terminal was rebuilt in its place the following year. This second terminal would become the country's international terminal until 1981, when a new, higher-capacity terminal, known today as Terminal 1, was built to replace it. The old international terminal would serve as Manila's Domestic Airport until another fire damaged it in May 1985. The present Terminal 1, originally named Manila International Airport, was given its present name on August 17, 1987, by virtue of Republic Act No. 6639, with the intention of honoring Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr., who was assassinated at the airport after returning to the Philippines from his self-imposed exile in the United States on August 21, 1983.
By Executive Order No. 732, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport NAIA Terminal 3 Task Force was made and Michael Defensor was appointed on June 19, 2008 as head, creating the Presidential Task Force on the NAIA-3 that was "mandated to ensure the immediate opening and operation of Terminal III." The order provides for the NAIA-3 opening based on decisions of the Supreme Court and applicable laws.
Officially, Ninoy Aquino International Airport NAIA is the only airport serving the Manila area. However, in practice, both NAIA and Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) at the Clark Freeport Zone in Angeles City, Pampanga serve the Manila area, with DMIA catering mostly to low-cost carriers that avail of the lower landing fees than those in NAIA. In the long term, DMIA is set to replace NAIA as the primary airport of the Philippines.

Makati
The Sta. Ana Racetrack, which actually part of the City of Manila, beside Pasig River in the northern part of the city, is one of the two centers of horseracing in the country. The other is in the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite. Along the south-eastern border of Makati beyond Forbes Park is the Manila Golf Club and the Manila Polo Club. The Manila Golf Club features an 18-hole golf course amidst the lush greenery of the city. The Manila Polo Club counts among its polo enthusiasts some of the country's wealthiest people. The Makati Sports Club in Salcedo Village is another popular place for sports people. The Makati Coliseum is another famous sports landmark in the city, where some of the biggest sports gatherings are held.
The Ayala Center also features aside from its shopping malls the Ayala Museum. This museum is most noted for its series of dioramas depicting major events in Philippine history, from the Battle of Mactan, to the EDSA Revolution.
Makati has many Spanish-era churches, such as the Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Nuestra Señora de Gracia (Our Lady of Grace) in the old town. At the Greenbelt Park stands the modern-style domed chapel of the Sto. Niño de la Paz. Between Forbes Park and Dasmariñas Village is the Santuario de San Antonio, a popular church for weddings in the Makati area. The National Shrine of the Sacred Heart is located in San Antonio Village. At the northern part of the city is the 25-hectare Manila South Cemetery. Every All Saints Day, thousands of people flock to the cemetery to pay their respects to their deceased loved ones.

Port of Manila History
The Port of Manila and the area dates back to Spanish and pre-Spanish rule of the Philippine Islands.It is recorded that Manila and the Philippines had trade relations with most neighbouring countries going back to the 9th to 12th centuries. Major trading partners included China and Japan, with ties to India through neighboring, present-day Malaysia and Indonesia. The port frequently traded with Arab countries and merchants during the Spanish Period of rule. The Spanish-controlled pot of Manila conducted trade primarily with China and other East Asian countries, with Mexico and directly with Spain, from the 16th until the mid 19th century, when the port was opened to all tradeships.
Manila Port was also the staging point for the Manila galleons, a state-monopoly shipping line running to Acapulco and back, which lasted in virtually continuous operation from the 16th to the early 19th century.
Manila bay was the setting for the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898 between United States and Spanish forces, and for the siege of Corregidor Island by invading Japanese forces in 1942.

Battle of Manila Bay
In recognition of George Dewey's leadership during the Battle of Manila Bay, a special medal known as the Dewey Medal was presented to the officers and sailors under Admiral Dewey's command. Dewey was later honored with promotion to the special rank of Admiral of the Navy; a rank that no one has held before or since in the United States Navy. Building on his popularity, Dewey briefly ran for president in 1900, but withdrew and endorsed William McKinley, the incumbent, who won.
Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, is preserved as a museum ship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the Independence Seaport Museum (formerly the Philadelphia Maritime Museum).

Mapúa Institute of Technology
Mapúa Institute of Technology (MIT, Mapúa Tech or simply Mapúa) is a private, non-sectarian, Filipino tertiary institute located in Intramuros, Manila and in Makati. It was founded by Don Tomás Mapúa in 1925. The institute is a reputable source of architects, engineers and science graduates and topnotchers in the architectural and engineering. As of 2006, diplomas and official documents issued by the institute includes a footnote with the message "Malayan Colleges operating under the name of Mapúa Institute of Technology" noting the implementation of the name change of the administration.
Don Óscar Mapúa's son, Architect Oscar Mapúa Jr. took over his duties until December 1999, when the Mapúa family passed the institute to the Yuchengco Group of Companies (YGC) headed by Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco and appointed Dr. Reynaldo B. Vea as president. In 2002, due to space constraints on the Intramuros Campus, the old RCBC Building in Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. in Makati City was purchased and converted into the Mapúa Makati Campus, where the School of Information Technology was moved. A spin-off of the School of IT, the Mapúa IT Center, as the Makati Campus is named, was established. The MITC offers 2-year diploma programs that eventually lead into an associate degree ladderized to the bachelor’s degree (4-year) IT courses of Mapúa. Mapúa shifted from the semestral calendar to the Quarterm System. On the other hand, Mapúa High School was closed down on 2005, since it was operated in the red.

Get in Binondo
Binondo is the "Chinatown" district in Manila. From Ninoy Aquino International Airport NAIA, you can take the cab going to Binondo.
By LRT, take the Baclaran station and dropoff at Carriedo station which is at the edge of the Chinatown district called Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz arc/shrine is a few walks a way from the LRT.
From this point, you can either walk, take pedicabs/tricycles, calesas (horse-driven carraige), or jeepneys that would take you within Binondo.
If you decide to go on foot, look for the Santa Cruz shrine/arc, it is opposite the Santa Cruz plaza. Walk through the small street within the Santa Cruz Arc and you're already at Ongpin, Binondo's chinatown district.
It's a crowded, very busy place - if you ever feel lost, just ask anybody from any of the jewelry stores lining up the street and they will gladly give you directions.
