  1. Population and Resources Why do people choose to live where they do?

  2. Context, Cause, and Effect This part of the travel guide is about the people who live there.  Lots of people have made your city their home!  For this part of the travel guide you will be writing one paragraph to be structured like this: Intro/Context:  When your city was established (and not just a date, but the time period in your country’s history), and where it is located. Cause: What opportunities or resources exist in your city today? In other words, why have people moved there in large numbers? What does your city have to offer? Effect: How many people live in your city and who they are (average age, ethnic groups, religions, literacy etc).

  3. What do you need to do? • Go to the library and read up on the people of your city. Use the guiding questions on your C-Notes page… • Take your notes… • Draft your article! Here’s an example for Manila…

  4. Population and Resources--Manila The Manila Bay area has been a center for trade for hundreds of years. As far back as the 9th and 10th centuries, the Philippines had trade relations with neighboring countries. The actual city of Manila was founded in 1571 by Spanish conquistadors. In 1867 the Spanish government in the Philippines created the province of Manila and its capital was Intramuros, a walled city that was located along the Pasig River and next to Manila Bay. This was important for protection, transportation, and a good water source. Today, Metro Manila is the political, economic and social center of the Philippines. It is a modern city—more modern than many in Southeast Asia. While the Port of Manila is one of Asia’s busiest seaports and a center for shipping, Makati City is the financial center of the city and the location of many multi-national businesses. It is also the home of two of the Philippines largest corporations, Ayala and Metrobank. Many people have migrated to Manila for job opportunities. As of the last census in 2007, Metro Manila had a population of 11,553,427 people. The population of the Philippines is 88, 570,000 so that means that 13% of the population of the Philippines is concentrated into Metro Manila. When you consider the suburbs, the population of Manila is closer to 20 million. While the Tagalog people were the original inhabitants of Metro Manila, people from many other ehnic groups from other parts of the Philippines can now be found in Manila as well. There are also many people of Chinese, Japanese and Indian descent in addition to Spaniards, Americans and Koreans. Tagalog is the most commonly spoken language but English is widely spoken as well. The majority of the population is Roman Catholic. Manila today is a very multi-cultural mix of people…kind of like a bowl of halo halo!
