Tagalog pronunciation: [maˈkati]), officially the City of Makati (Filipino: Lungsod ng Makati), in the Philippines, is one of the sixteen cities that make up Metro Manila. Makati is the financial center of the Philippines; it has the highest concentration of multinational and local corporations in the country.[3] Major banks, corporations, department stores as well as foreign embassies are based in Makati.

The biggest trading floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange is situated along the city's Ayala Avenue.[4][5] Makati is also known for being a major cultural and entertainment hub in Metro Manila.[6]With a population of 5. Makati is the 1. 7th- largest city in the country and ranked as the 4. Although its population is just half a million, the daytime population of the city is estimated to be more than one million during a typical working day because of the large number of people who go to the city to work, shop, and do business.[7]Etymology[edit]Tradition holds that a Tagalog at a swamp on the south of the Pasig River was asked by a visitor, who was Miguel López de Legazpi, for the name of the place. As a result of the language barrier the question was misinterpreted; the Tagalog pointed to the receding tide of the Pasig River, and answered "Makati, kumákáti na" ("Ebbing, the tide is ebbing").[8]History[edit]Parts of the city were once subject to the pre- Hispanic Kingdom of Namayan, whose capital is now in the Santa Ana district of Manila. Captain Pedro de Brito, a retired aide to the Spanish army chief of staff, is the founder and patron of the House of San Pedro.

De Brito made a modest fortune in the galleon trade in the 1. He was also a regidor of Manila, whose post was adjudged to him at public auction for one thousand four hundred pesos of common gold, with the third part of what was promised from the increase. He took possession of his post on 2. June 1. 58. 9. In 1. Makati. After his acquisition of the land, Capitan de Brito immediately took steps to "discharge the royal conscience", to fulfill, for the King of Spain, his duty to spread the Christian gospel. But he also ran into a brick wall, so to speak; the natives could not be persuaded to move inland. The Spaniards then assigned the area to the town of Santa Ana de Sapa and in the 1.

Our Lady of Guadalupe (now Our Lady of Grace) and of Saints Peter and Paul in what is today the población, built by missionary friars to attract worshippers, and also as a farming community. It became an independent municipality in 1. San Pedro de Macati in honour of the town's patron, Saint Peter. The town was also famous for its pottery industry since the 1. Jesuit priests.[citation needed] Its strategic location also made it a pitstop for pilgrims, travelling by foot or boat, towards the shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage in Antipolo. In 1. 85. 1, Don José Bonifacio Róxas (an ancestor of the Zobel de Ayala family) purchased the Jesuit estate of "Hacienda San Pedro de Macati" for 5. Since then, the development of Makati has remained linked with the Zóbel de Ayala family and their company, Ayala Corporation.[1.

The town was a cradle of Filipino passive resistance against Spanish colonial rule in the 1. Philippine Revolution, with the participation of the local Katipunan council based in the area with Pio del Pilar, a local resident from the village of Culi- Culi, as its president.[citation needed] Culi- Culi is now a barangay named in honour of Del Pilar.

American period[edit]By 1. Spain ceded the Philippines and other overseas possessions to the United States after the former's defeat in the Spanish–American War. In 1. 90. 1, the Americans declared the whole area south of the Pasig River, including the town of San Pedro de Macati, down to Alabang in Muntinlupa, a US military reservation, thus establishing Fort Mc.

That same year, the whole town, with a population of 2. Manila to the new province of Rizal, with Marcelino Magsaysay serving as the town president.[citation needed] As the 1.

Meralco tranvia lines to Fort Mc. Kinley and to the western end of the town were built, opening transport lines for its residents and thus brought along potential investors who opened several businesses including the famous Santa Ana Cabaret at the terminus of the streetcar lines.

On February 2. 8, 1. Philippine Legislature passed Act 2. San Pedro de Macati, to simply Makati.

In the 1. 93. 0s, the first airport in Luzon island, Nielsen Field, opened in what is now the Ayala Triangle, and the tracks of what is now the Philippine National Railways reached the town very early in the decade. During that same period, Santa Ana Park, the nation's second horse racing facility, opened to expectations from horse racing fans.[citation needed]Post- war[edit]After the destruction Second World War had brought upon Makati, and the subsequent closure of Nielson Field, the town grew rapidly, and real estate values boomed. The first of the planned communities (in what are now the barangays Forbes Park, Urdaneta, San Lorenzo and Bel- Air) were established in the 1. Ayala y Compañía.

At the same time, Fort Mc. Kinley, then renamed Fort Bonifacio, and the then Philippine Army headquarters, became the starting point for the building up of seven more communities by military families who worked in the base area. The first office buildings were built on what is now the Makati Central Business District.

Since the late 1. Makati has transformed into the financial and commercial capital of the country.[9]During the terms of town mayors Máximo Estrella, Rafael Bañola, José Luciano, Cézar Alzona and Nemesio Yabut, massive development of the town took place, and foreign and local investors were welcomed to what was tagged as the nation's number one municipality at the time. Makati's central location adjacent to the city of Manila also made it an industrial hub for major national and international corporations. Partly as a result a new town hall just miles from the old one was built in 1.

J. P. Rizal Avenue (the old hall was later converted into the city museum). Mayor Bañola's term of office as town executive saw the building up of what is now the Ayala Center with the help of the Ayala firm, which would become the city's central shopping center of today.

In 1. 97. 5, Makati was separated from Rizal province along with Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Quezon City, Marikina, San Juan, Pasig, Mandaluyong, Pateros, Taguig, Pasay City, Parañaque, Las Piñas, and Muntinlupa, to become part of the National Capital Region as a component municipality. Following the assassination of opposition senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. August 1. 98. 3, Makati became a nexus for protests against the dictatorship of President. Ferdinand E. Marcos.
