INTRAMUROS
Intramuros, the walled city multifaceted built by the
Spaniards upon their occupation of Manila, is a marvelous way to spend the day
in Manila. It is located along the southern bank of the Pasig River and
was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century and is the oldest district of
the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The name is taken from the
Latin, intra muros, literally "Within the walls", meaning within the
wall enclosure of the city/fortress, also describes its structure as it is
surrounded by thick, high walls and moats. During the Spanish colonial period,
Intramuros was considered Manila itself.
It is constructed almost completely of stone blocks and possesses the same architectural traits one can see in other Spanish defenses like the Caribbean. It has been attractively landscaped with abundant tropical flowers and plants, and it is a relief for many families looking for shade in ever hot and muggy Manila. One can walk around the paths or use the pleasingly decorated horse drawn carriages. Some of the features of this park are old gunpowder rooms used as recently as World War II, seminaries and chapels, the Manila cathedral and museums. It is recommended that if going for the first time, a driver or guide be hired from your hotel. This is a gigantic area neighboring Rizal Park, and it is not recommended to hire an amateur guide loitering near the entrance.
Spanish colonial period
In 1564, conquistadors led by Miguel López de Legazpi sailed from New Spain (Mexico) and arrived on the island of Cebu in February 13, 1565. There they established the first Spanish colony in the archipelago. Having heard of rich resources of Manila by local natives, López de Legazpi dispatched two of his Lieutenant-commanders, Martín de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo to explore the northern regions of the Visayas.
In 1570, the Spaniards arrived in the island of Luzon. After quarrels had erupted between the Islamic natives and the Spaniards; Goiti and López de Legazpi's soldiers waged war on the people, before they were able to take control and establish a permanent settlement in the area. In 1571 after the natives were defeated in battle, López de Legazpi made a peace pact with Rajah Sulayman, Rajah Lakandula and Rajah Matanda; who, in return, handed over Manila to the Spaniards.
López de Legazpi declared the area as the new capital of the Spanish colony in the Philippines on June 24, 1571; Referring to the rich resources and location of Manila; The King of Spain, delighted at the new conquest achieved by López de Legazpi and his men, awarded the city a coat of arms and declaring it “Distinguished and ever loyal city".
The planning of the city of Manila was commenced by López de Legazpi who had become the first Governor general on the islands. He established forts, roads, churches and schools. The plans for Intramuros were based on King Philip II's Royal Ordinance issued on July 3, 1573 in San Lorenzo, Spain. Its design was based upon a medieval castle structure and covered 64 hectares of land, surrounded by 8 meter thick stones and high walls that rise 22 meters.
We
can trace Binondo’s history to the 9th century, when Chinese traders would sail
to Maynilad from Cathay, where their vessels dropped loads of
valuable merchandise like silk and pottery and returned laden with sugarcane,
hemp, coconuts, and other local products. But the mass migration of the Chinese
to Manila began in the 16th century when the Philippines was already the
colonial capital of Spain in Asia.

Pre-Hispanic settlement
The site of was Intramuros was ruled by three chieftains Rajah Sulayman, Lakan Dula and Rajah Matanda and was originally a large Malayan-Islamic settlement named "Maynilad",. The name came from "may nilad", "nilad" being a water plant whose star-shaped flowers huddle in abundance along the low-lying riverbanks. The strategic location of Maynilad, being on the Pasig River and the Manila Bay, made it an ideal location for indigenous Tagalog tribes to trade with other Asian civilizations, including Chinese and Islamic merchants who had come from China, Borneo and Indonesia. Maynilad was also the seat of power for native chiefs who ruled the area before Europeans first arrived in Luzon.

Intramuros was completed in 1606 and it served as the center
of political, military and religious power of the Spaniards during the time
that the Philippines was a colony of Spain. Inside Intramuros; there are
several Roman Catholic churches, like the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin
Church, convents and church-run schools, such as the Universidad de Santo
Tomás, the Colegio de San Juan de Letran and the Ateneo Municipal de Manila,
which were usually being run by religious orders such as the Dominicans,
Augustinians, Franciscans and Jesuits. The Governor's Palace, the official
residence of the Spanish Viceroyalties to the Philippines was originally in
Intramuros before it was officially moved to Malacañang Palace and Fort
Santiago. Only Spaniards and Mestizos were allowed to take part on political
issues and take residence inside the walled city, Christian natives and Chinese
were also allowed inside, but Spanish officials prevented them living there.
The vast majority of the natives and Chinese residents lived outside the walled
city.
China Town

Ang pingaka mahalagang naranasan ko sa pagpunta naming sa
mga historical sites ay yung nalaman ko ang mga nangyari sa lugar na aming
pinuntahan at makita naming in personal ang mga aming nalaman ditto aking
nalaman na ang Intramuros ay ang naging sentro ng mga espanya noong Spanish settlement
at ang pinaka mahalagang naranasan ko ay ang page enjoy kasama ng aking mga
kaibigan dahil mas masaya kung ikaw ay may kasama sa iyong pupuntahan.
Ako’y
namangha sa aking mga nakita dahil sa mga kagandahan ng aking mga napuntahan
dahil ioyn ang unang punta ko sa mga historical sites sa manila at pangalawa ay
nadama ko ang pagkamulat sa mga nangyari noong naghihirap ang bansang Pilipinas
dahil sa mga gera na naganap dahil sa mga bakas na aking nakita sa mga lugar na
ito lalu na ang mga armas na ginamit ng mga espanyol.
Natutunan ko na magbigay pugay sa mga taong namuhay noong panahong naghihirap ang Pilipinas dahil sila ay naghirap at nagsikap mamuhay sa kabila ng piligro dahil ako mismo ay hindi ko kayang mamuhay sa panahong iyon dahil dito binuhay nang pagpunta ko sa mga historical sites na ito ang aking pagiging makabayan dahil ang bansang Pilipinas ay pamilya natin kahit pa lumayo tayo kahit pa magrebelde tayo, simulat sa dulo babalik tayu sa ating bansa at ang ating bansa lamang ang makakatulong saatin.
