Building a reputation of a country is really important. One way of building it is through its capital city. From the former capital which is Quezon City, now it turned to be Manila. What is it all about? Is it because of popularity? Beautiful and attractive views? Hi-tech buildings? Well, that's just some of the qualities why Manila is the chosen capital of our country.
As of 2009, Manila ranks as the world's 11th largest metropolitan area and the 5th lergest urban are by population.
It is also ranked as one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The city itself has more then a hundred parks scattered everywhere.
We can see that Manila is highly recommended by Filipinos whenever a "balikbayan" or a tourist visits our country. Because of its tremendous parks and entertaining views, we can proudly say that Manila is a place where a lot of people wants to dwell in.
"Manila occupies a total land area of 38.55 square kilometers and it is the second most populous city in the Philippines, with more than 1.6 million inhabitants."
Its enormous land area gives a greatr opportunity of building new structures that will be a great help for our country, especially to the citizens.
If we all base Manila according to criterias of choosing a capital for the Philippines, it is obviously qualified when it comes to being popular and known by everyone in the country. When we hear the word Manila or "Maynila", every person has a great story to tell.
When a person from province is given the choice to live in Manila, that person will feel so happy. Maybe he will jump all day and start to feel the excitement the moment he receives the invitation of living in Manila. One of the major reasons why people want to be in Manila is to study. High-quality education, from universities are given to students.
Manila opens a new door of hope to the Filipinos, because it offers a lot of places and beautiful sights that will satisfy the craving hearts of the people. Everyone will see how beautiful Manila is, as it represents our country.
Now we know what's the essence of being the capital of a country. It is the main identity of our country wherein a lot of people will know the uniqueness that is featured in the Philippines. Beautiful sights, overflowing population, entertaining hang-outs, well-known universities and an orderly city. That's what Manila is. Those are the qualities that make it truly deserving.

Bianca, you should have posted the "real" or the legal reason why Manila was named capital. Yeah, it used to be QC until a law or an order had it replaced by Manila. You could have also put that Manila is not a good symbol for the Philippines. It's dirty, uber-polluted, and super crowded.

You could have done an article much focused on Manila itself - not on "staying as a tourist". You could have included interesting facts like "Manila was once a sea bed."

You should have cited the exact reason why it happened to be "the chosen one." Very factual. And at least, it did not end up dull. Personal opinion and the facts are balanced.

015: I agree with Ignite...Manila is not really a good symbol for our country..for me, it somehow depicts poverty due to the dirty and over-populated environment.
a few typos.:D be careful next time Chubbieniah.
