People worth mentioning
Limahong
This is a 1956 painting entitled "Invasion of Limahong" by Carlos "Botong" Fransisco.
It was in late 1573 that an army of 3,000 outlaws, bandits, and pirates led by Limahong arrived at the island of Luzon. There, they established a kingdom and waged war against the Spaniards. In early 1574, their fleet fled to Ilocos Sur and the pirates were driven away by the Spaniards. When they fled from Ilocos Sur, Limahong learned that Manila was an unprotected city though already occupied by the Spaniards. He attacked the city in 1574 with 64 ships but failed. However, he was able to kill Martin de Goiti of the first Spanish expeditionary force and several Filipinos under the leadership of Rajah Lakandula. He also burned the city. From this unsuccessful attempt, he led his fleet to what is now Pangasinan.

Douglas McArthur
In February 1942, as Japan’s control over the Philippines tightened, MacArthur was ordered by President Roosevelt to relocate to Australia for his safety and of his family. MacArthur discussed the idea with his staff that he resign his duty and fight as a private soldier in the Philippine resistance but Lieutenant Colonel Richard K. Sutherland, his chief of staff at that time, persuaded him not to. After the Japan’s overwhelming attack on Perl Harbor, the Philippines was soon after assaulted by the dominating Japanese contingent. McArthur arrived in Australia on March 17, upon his arrival in Adelaide, MacArthur delivered his celebrated speech, in which he said, “I came through and I shall return" that made headlines globally. Bataan eventually surrendered on April 9, Manila was then proclaimed as an “open city” due to the countries emancipation from foreign settlers.

Places that defied history
Binondo
Binondo is famous for the place called Parian which was near Intramuros. This area was the place where most of chinese merchants and immigrants stayed during the time of the Spanish colonization. This place is seen from inside the Intramuros by the Spaniards because they feared that one day the Chinese will go against them so the Spaniards were always watching every move they make.
During the Spanish period this Binondo was created by the Spanish Governor Luis Pérez Dasmariñas, because this is where all Chinese men or also known as Sangleys were deported to and he did not permit non-christianized Chinese merchants to sell their merchandise inside Intramuros because it is the Spanish Capital. So The Chinese traders thought of a way to be able to sell their products by starting to put up stores that are beside eachother which created an area full of store which then became Divisoria. This place was the Center for commerce or trade for the Chinese merchants.

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 neighboring countries at least as far back as the 9th to 12th centuries. Major trading partners included China and Japan, with ties to India through the areas that are now Malaysia and Indonesia. Spanish-controlled Port of Manila handled trade primarily with China and other East Asian countries, with Mexico, with Arab countries, and directly with Spain from the 16th to mid-19th century CE when the port was opened to all trade ships.
The port was also the staging point for the Manila Galleons, a state-monopoly shipping line running to Acapulco and back, which operated virtually continuously from the 16th to the early 19th century CE.
Manila Bay was the setting for the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898 between United States and Spanish forces, and the siege of Correigdor Island by invading Japanese forces in 1942.

War between America and Japan
The Battle for Manila from 3 February to 3 March 1945, fought by United States and Japanese forces, was part of the Philippines' 1945 campaign. The one-month battle, which culminated in a terrible bloodbath and total devastation of the city, was the scene of the worst urban fighting in the Pacific theater, and ended almost three years of Japanese military occupation in the Philippines (1942--1945). The city's capture was marked as General Douglas MacArthur's key to victory in the campaign of reconquest.
