Tondo, Manila
Tondo is a district located in Manila, Philippines. It is the largest in terms of area and population of Manila's sixteen districts, with a Census-estimated 631,313 people in 2015 and consists of two congressional districts. It is also the second most densely populated district in the city.

On the other hand, French linguist Jean-Paul Potet, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
