Changing a civ name will break existing games, since that's also the id of that civ - so cities and units belonging to Manila will not find who they belong to There's no problem changing city names etc, since those are purely cosmetic - and there's also no problem if a civ has a city in the same name as another civ, as you're describing here. TL;DR I see your point, but the detrimental effects would far outweigh the slight historical inaccuracy we have here, so I'm politely declining this change :)
What's more is that this is the Civ V name for it.
You are of course welcome to change this in mods

Problem Description
Since the CS
Manila
is described as a"Maritime"
cityStateType, that must mean it's referring to the pre-colonial polity known as Maynila; "Manila", as we know it as today, only existed since the pre-modern times: as a Spanish colonial city, and later on as the modern capital city of The Philippines.There is/are mod(s) out there that adds Manila as a city or capital city for a Nation.

Desired Solution
Basically, this is a spelling correction: change "Manila" to "Maynila". Also change the adjective form "Manilan" - which seems invalid in my opinion - to "Tagalog" (plural: Tagalogs).
The reason I put this up as a Suggestion rather than a Bug Fix is because this is more-or-less inconsequential, and there are already way too many Bug Reports that I feel like this should take less priority.
Alternative Approaches
(I don't know what to put here as "alternative approaches")
