Manilaners
A name given to the 1300 Jewish Germans who sought refuge in the Philippines during the time of the Holocaust. These refugees were taken in by President Manuel L. Quezon with the help of then High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, Colonel Dwight Eisenhower and Chief of Staff Gen. Douglas MacArthur in 1938 as part of the Open Door Policy.

Most of the refugees settled in Manila, though the original plan was to have them all relocated at Mindanao, which was still developing at that time.
