Malate, Manila : ウィキペディア英語版 | Malate, Manila
Malate is a district of Manila, Philippines. Together with the district of Ermita, it serves as Manila's center for commerce and tourism. ==Etymology== The word ''Malate'' is believed to have stemmed from the corruption of the Tagalog word "''maalat'" ("salty"). Tradition notes that the tidewaters from Manila Bay flowed far inland and that seawater intruded into the freshwater collected from wells, thus making the drinking water in the area salty.
