2. Compare and contrast the two Manilas.

The first Manila: Under Majapahit empire

By the late 15th century, the town was a strong Muslim trading center built on the remains of many
previous towns and ruled by the Brunei sultanate. For a short time in 14th century AD, the small
inhabited area became a province

The Second Manila:

The said kingdom was prospered economically during the Ming Dynasty because of trade relations with
China. Ancient Tondo has always been the traditional capital of the empire. Its rulers were equivalents
to king and not mere chieftains, and they were addressed as panguinuan or panginoon (lords), anak
banwa (son of heaven), or lakandula (lord of the palace).
