The name of the Philippines comes from King Philip II of Spain, who colonized the islands in the 16th century. What is the name of this nation's capital city?

The original name of Manila was Maynilad, which was derived from a plant that grew nearby. Manila has been an important city in the Philippines for four centuries and serves as the country's international port of entry. The city was destroyed during World War II, but has seen rapid economic development since it was rebuilt after the war.
