Makati is a city within Metro Manila. Moreover, it is known and celebrated as a major cultural and technological hub within the Metro. As such, it is one of the most urbanized city in the Philippines.
However, “makati” could also mean itchy. The meaning of the word would depend on how you pronounce it.
