Manila is the capital and the second largest city of the Philippines. It was also the location of two major Kaiju attacks in 2014[2] and 2019.[4]

History[]

2014[]

Manila was the second city to be attacked by a Kaiju after Trespasser made landfall in San Francisco on August 10, 2013.[5] The Kaiju Hundun[6] made landfall in Taal, Batangas sometime during the night and during a tropical storm on February 5, 2014.[3][7][8] It crossed the lake, moving forward into Laguna de Bay and then into Taguig City. By the time Filipino authorities knew what was happening, Hundun was already laying waste to the Metropolitan Manila area of the city.

Hundun was killed with a single tactical nuclear weapon just east of Manila and its excrement severely contaminated the city's environment. [2] Hundun's attack would be followed by another Kaiju attack about a year later when the Kaiju Kaiceph assaulted Cabo San Lucas on June 1, 2014.

2019[]

On December 16, 2019, a Category IV Kaiju with a barbed tail emerged from the Breach and headed straight for Manila. Its presence necessitated a three Jaeger team to intercept and kill the creature, which included Gipsy Danger, Horizon Brave, and Lucky Seven. During the fight, the Kaiju was able to overpower Horizon Brave with its tail, forcing the other two Jaegers to intervene. Gipsy Danger ultimately landed the killing blow to the Kaiju not long after.[4][9]
