3 Profile: Manila Manila is located in Southern Luzon. The city flanks Manila Bay and the Pasig River devided it into northern and southern sections. The city lies 800 miles (1,300 km) from mainland Asia. Metro Manila Metropolitan Manila referred to as Kalakhang Maynila, Kamaynilaan, the National Capital Region (NCR), Pambansang Punong Rehiyon, Metro Manila or simply Manila for most of the residents, is the metropolitan region embracing the City of Manila. There are 16 cities which are included in Metro Manila. They are are City of Manila,, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, Parañaque, Quezon, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela and the Municipality of Pateros. As of the 2007 census, it had a population of 11, 553,427 which is 13% of the national population. If we are to believe the United Nation s Population Division, the population of Metro Manila is expected to reach 20 million by Under the Köppen climate classification system, Metro Manila is split between a tropical wet and dry climate and a tropical monsoon climate. Manila, which features less rainfall than Quezon City, has a tropical wet and dry climate while Quezon City features a tropical monsoon climate. Together with the rest of the Philippines, Metro Manila lies entirely within the tropics. Its proximity to the equator means that the temperature range is very small, rarely going lower than 20 C or higher than 38 C. However, humidity levels are usually very high which makes it feel much warmer. It has a distinct, albeit relatively short dry season from January through April, and a relatively lengthy wet season from May through December. 3
