Question

A line of kings of this city like Salalila and Matandâ was described in the disputed “Will of Pansomun.” Members of this city’s maginoo (“mah-gin-oh-OH”) royalty like Magat Salamat, son of Lakandula, were executed following the failed Tondo conspiracy. Kapampangan (“kup-um-PONG-un”) karakoa navies under Macabebe chief Tarik Sulayman were defeated outside this city at the Battle of Bangkusay, after which this city’s majority-sangley Binondo district and Intramuros walled center were built at the Pasig (“PAH-sig”) River (15[1])delta under (*) Miguel López de Legazpi. Andrés de Urdaneta’s tornaviaje (“tor-nah-V’YAW-hay”) route was used to bring silk and spices to the Americas from this entrepôt in exchange for silver from Acapulco via this city’s namesake galleons. For 10 points, name this city that replaced Cebu (“seh-BOO”) as the colonial capital of the Spanish East Indies and, later, the Philippines. ■END■
