Manila was seriously threatened and ruled by foreign powers at various periods. At the start of the 20 th century, the city came under American rule, and became a fierce battle field during the World War II. The war brought so much destruction to the city where almost all of its buildings and structures destroyed. In June , Manila reclaimed its position as the capital city of the Philippines and has retained the position to date. At present, Manila boasts a towering development with the presence of commercial and office buildings, high-rise condominiums, and world-class art and entertainment facilities.
The city houses the two prime points of trading in the country, the Manila North Harbor and the South Harbor. Through these ports, trade within the metropolitan area and between the cities, provinces and other countries continue to flourish. With the presence of diverse food-processing factories, textile companies, chemical industries, and timber factories, the city is also considered as a manufacturing center.
The small factories of the city are mostly located in the districts of Tondo, Binondo and Santa Cruz, while the heavy industries are located in Paco, Pandacan and Santa Ana. Behind the changes and signs of urbanization, Manila was able to preserve its history through the existing old-aged structures around the city including the historic Fort Santiago, the Manila Cathedral, and the San Agustin Church.
These, together with the newly constructed parks and attractions in the city, have helped Manila attract local and foreign tourists. Many people say that life in Manila is a reflection of life in the Philippines as a whole.
