Manila

Manila is the capital of the Philippines. Its definition is derived from words with Visayan origin, man- + tila, which literally means “somebody who licks”. The reason why the capital of the Philippines has been given such name is because Manila is a place where one can find prostitutes easily, even back when Spaniards occupied Philippines.
