Find love in Manila (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nil

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'find love' is the definition.
'nil' can be an answer for 'love' (love and nil mean zero in cricket and football). I am unsure of the 'find' bit.

'in manila' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NIL' is hidden within 'manila'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nil that I've seen before include "Non-existent" , "Zero, zilch" , "Zero, no score" , "Score of nought" , "0" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
