Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz and the Binondo Church

Prior to Makati, Binondo was the main center for business in Manila, as the Chinese were very proficient at trading and financially acumen. Before World War II there was bustling community which included insurance companies from Britain and the United States, banks and other financial institutions. After the war most of these businesses began to relocate to the newly developing area of Makati, which was mostly owned by the Ayala family. Binondo is also famous for its imitation of a small Chinese town which is locally called "China Town". During the financial crisis of the early 80s, Binondo earned the nickname "Binondo Central Bank" as Chinese businessmen in the district engaged in massive black marketing of US dollars, often dictating the actual Peso-Dollar exchange rate. The term has survived to this day. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ... Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...
