Philippines' capital (6)

I believe the answer is:

manila

(Other definitions for manila that I've seen before include "Island capital" , "Capital of Philippines" , "Strong brown paper; cigar, cheroot" , "Far East capital" , "Animal found in Philippines" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal and the Sydney Morning Herald.
