The area which is now occupied by Fort Santiago is a natural defensive position that has been used for centuries. Situated at the mouth of the Pasig River, which runs into Manila Bay it is the ideal place to put fortifications to ensure the safety of the area and to defend against the pirates and marauders which frequented the area.
Originally the site of Rajah Sulayman’s settlement prior to Spanish occupation and rule. The Spanish defeated the Muslim-Filipino leader, Rajah Sulayman in the 1500’s. He was the last ruler, of the now Metro Manila area, before the Spanish took control.

i intended to post a comment to analyse, to critique, to review your recent photos but i ended up at a loss for words, because you have improved so much and i’m afraid any attempt of mine to scrutinize your work would be unworthy of your efforts.
in short, speechless akesh!
snappy!
keep it up squadmate, i’m so proud, and you have undoubtedly been blessed by a great means to showcase your gifts.
naks! naiiyak na ko…
mwah. ingat lagi squadmate.
