This article examines place names in two Tagalog-speaking Philippine regions, the metropolitan area of Manila and the province of Cavite.The toponyms of the Spanish, American, and independent Philippine periods are compared, based on a sample from historical and contemporary sources including maps, articles, and geographical surveys.The place names include Tagalog endonyms related to local environmental features, religious and anthroponymic commemorative Spanish exonyms, and hybrid forms that combine Tagalog, Spanish, and/or English etymology.More recently, geo-classifiers from English are often found in hybrid forms.The results show that place-naming practices in Metro Manila and Cavite have shifted over time due to the contact between Tagalog, Spanish, and English in the region, and they reflect political and ideological stances
