Paco, formerly known as Dilao, is a district of Manila, Philippines located south of Pasig River, and San Miguel, west of Santa Ana, southwest of Pandacan, north of Malate, northwest of San Andres Bukid, and east of Ermita. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 64,184 people in 13,438 households. 〔(Philippine Census NCR Quickstat )〕 ==History== Paco was known as Dilao because of the Amaryllis plants that were once plentiful on this district.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20091021091242/http://geocities.com/bordges.geo/history.html〕 Dilao or ''dilaw'' is a Tagalog word for the color yellow. Although, some sources say,〔(Paco is a place in Manila on the Map of Philippines )〕〔(Manila Attractions )〕 it was named Dilao or "Yellow Plaza" by the Spanish settlers because of the Japanese migrants who lived there, describing their physiognomy. Spanish Franciscan missionaries founded the town of Paco as early as 1580. 〔 The name Dilao was used until 1791. The name San Fernando was added, making it San Fernando de Dilao. 〔 In the 19th century, the town of San Fernando de Dilao was given the nickname of Paco (which means Francisco). Paco, along with Sampaloc, Santa Ana, San Juan del Monte, and San Pedro de Macati became the second largest districts that became part of Manila.〔(Beyond the Walls )〕It became to known as Paco de Dilao〔(:: Malaya - The National Newspaper :: )〕 and eventually as Paco as it known today. The Japanese had established quite early an enclave at Dilao, a suburb of Manila, where they numbered between 300 to 400 in 1593. A statue of Takayama can be found there. In 1603, during the Sangley rebellion, they numbered 1,500, and 3,000 in 1606. The Franciscan friar Luis Sotelo was involved in the support of the Dilao enclave between 1600 and 1608. The Japanese led an abortive rebellion in Dilao against the Spanish in 1606-1607. Their numbers rose again during the interdiction of Christianity by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1614, when 300 Japanese Christian refugees under Takayama Ukon settled in the Philippines. There are today around 200,000 Japanese people in the Philippines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paco, Manila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
