(Redirected from
Binondo)
Binondo is a enclave in Manila primarily populated by overseas Chinese who chose to live in the Philippines. Historically, the place was sited by the Spaniards within the range of Intramuros cannons, to prevent any uprising coming from the Chinese.
It is located across the Pasig River from Intramuros and the home of Chinatown in Manila. The district is filled with all types of business from Chinese merchants. It is said that this district was already a hub of Chinese commerce even before the Spaniards came in 1571.
