Although its population is just half a million, the daytime population of the city is estimated to be more than one million during a typical working day because of the large number of people who go to the city to work, shop, and do business. ==Etymology== Tradition holds that the first Governor-General of the Philippines, Miguel López de Legazpi, whilst exploring a swamp on the south of the Pasig River, asked for the name of the place, but was misinterpreted by the native Tagalog people due to language barriers. Pointing to the receding tide of the Pasig River, the Tagalogs answered, “''Makati, kumakati na''", ("Ebbing, the tide is ebbing"). 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「Makati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
