INTRAMUROS, MANILA

Wall is identical with the limitations. What separates the walled in and outside. And this separation was based desire to maintain themselves, maintain the purity, integrity to maintain a self-perpetuate.

That's when the walls of Intramuros in Manila. Thick wall in the limit of the old city is the cultural essence of Spanish colonists. Beyond there, the island that is not with the neighbors in Indonesia. The wall so strong to feel strength in the limit promiscuity.

Close to the waterfront, an old Spanish fortress standing firm. No longer surrounded by coconut plantations, but it is a golf course and road with four lines. Now he is no longer any limit between Spanish colonizers and the people who Serumpun with Manado, Bugis, Javanese and Batak.

Thick wall that failed to stop the Intramuros sinkretis culture. The gates of the fort was open. Chisel in flexibility in the Malay kakunya the Conquistador.

Indeed, not only the gate that was open and not awake. When the Western world, fight in mid-20th century, the area Intramuros crushed ingot.

Bombardment associate the oath terlontar commander of troops called Macarthur. "I shall return," the digenapinya complete with ratanya Manila cathedral, and old houses, power bead Spain since 1571 up to 1898.

Strong along the wall of 4.5 kilometers around the area covering 64 hectares filled with palaces, churches, convent, school and home is the flat to the ground. Only one church was established, a letter upholding the divine human vanity.

A neck of land that is now no longer owned by tattoo Soliman, or Delantado Miguel López de Legazpi, and also no longer owned by the authorities of Metro Manila. Give this area a tourist area that can be visited by anyone.

Initially, the area is rural residential Intramuros indigenous. Name Manylad their village. Led by rajah Soliman, the village in the bay is the center of trade the various commodities that come from China, Japan, Vietnam, and have even said that all Asia.

This good fortune does not take long. The Spanish explorers arrived. On 24 June 1571, the village is successfully occupied Adelanto Miguel Lopez de Lagazpi. He built the city of Manila on the debris-debris Manylad village.

What is gained with the violence does not appear to be sober. Development Manila run, but the threat from English, Japanese, Portuguese and other colonial Asia raise up the spirit of self. Muncullah thick walls with gates that are connected to suspension bridge is closed each night meeting. The term also appears in the wall in Spanish, intra muros.

In fact Spain does not need to fear and self-coop. Intramuros and the Philippines all changed employer, when the Paris Agreement signed by the result in Spain the power kolonialnya in the United States.

This unique area of Asia, where the only European style city fortress stood, destroyed by the authorities with a new stem merebutnya pen. Douglas MacArthur made the Intramuros markasnya at the time of the invasion of Japan. It was this change of the old city, with the overthrow of the old and widen the road.

That was not enough because the Japanese seize Manila. During the three years to become Intramuros latrine for the soul of the hundreds of the Philippines. Japan using the fort area of Santiago to use this jajahannya.

And during the battle retake Manila lives of thousands of civilians fall victim. During the eight days they make a Japan in Intramuros. United States poke them out with kucuran bomb. San Agustin church live and part of the city walls that still stand.

In 1979 through a presidential decree established the Philippines Intramuros Administration. The goal in rebuilding the city wall in this. Tujuanya make as a city tour.

Now, thanks to the efforts, the effect of Spain, the United States and the modern culture of the Philippines, all can be felt in the walls of the city. No more of the original in a world that was once closed. There must be a good way of violence and to create a soft new world. (rn)

Do not come to Manila if not had time to visit Makati. It was always said that the Pinoy, called for the Philippines. Why? Makati is a friendly city. Tagalog word "Mabuhay" is written so we go to the region harafiah really means "welcome."
So, anyone who visited the Global City, Makati, ready to warm greeting awaits there. Makati often as dicitrakan area that offers comfort and keglamouran City of Manila. The fact is Makati's central business and entertainment in Manila.

Before falling into the hands of Spain, the Philippines became a sovereign state is influenced by Malay culture. Up to now, even though the culture is very Spanish culture in the Philippines (particularly the North), but many Malays are inherent in community life.

Until this very day we can still find so much similarity in language between the language of Tagalog and Indonesian equally rooted in the Malay culture. For example, for a parachute, white, gathered, gathered, and others. Or very similar, for example base (road, Indonesia: a foundation), man, wall, and many more.

History Inramuros began in June 1571 when Spain under Miguel López de Legazpi founded the city of Manila is the center of Spanish power in the Philippines for more than 300 years. To avoid pirate attacks from China, Japan and the Dutch and Portuguese attacks, Legazpi fortress built to protect the city. Defense wall thickness of more than one meter to the 4.5 km long, and stand firmly on the ground area of 64 hectares.

Sturdy fortress that fortify the city. So the city in the fort was known as Intramuros. In Spanish, Intramuros means' in the wall or the fort '. Intramuros to be a very important region because in a small town in Spain's King Philip II to place the center of all political, cultural, educational, trade, and religion. Basically situlah center of power in the Spanish throne in the East region. Not that, any time. All rich people in Asia are placed in the city which is also known as Ciudad Murada or Bertembok City.

Impressions-impressions kemasyuran Intramuros past can still be found. Spanish government building still standing is not very far from the majestic cathedral of the Church of Manila was the religious center of Intramuros and Spain to the East as a whole.

In religious terms, the position of cathedral in Intramuros in Manila became more important because all Jasad Cardinal Manila dimakamkan there since Cardinal Sing choose buried there.

Schools such as the old Manila High School is also still neat rows on the side of the Mapua Institute of Technology. Schools that used an educational institution for children of Intramuros. Even before the Japanese destroyed the Intramuros, the oldest university in Asia, Ateneo de Manila University are also in Intramuros before moved to Quenzon City.

In addition, the Manila Bulletin, one of the oldest newspapers in Asia are also here, exactly on the side of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (City University of Manila). Manila Bulletin to become important sources of information when the power concentrated in Intramuros.

Even in the era of Japan, the Philippines independence fighter who caught and dipenjara be in place. Because the number of combatants who caught the Philippines, the hospital was built when the United States also dialihfungsikan colonize the Philippines as a prison.

All important sites in Intramuros that we can visit with the kind of carriage which is not far different from the carriage in Indonesia, especially in Java. It is interesting that, all in the carriage cabby Intramuros can speak fluent in English.

With the 500 Peso or Rp. 98,000 we can get around Intramuros. Carman andong can simultaneously function as a guide is able to describe in detail each span of Intramuros. Uniquely, they are not civil servants, but people who rent andongnya for tourism keperluaan in Intramuros.
