Makati City in the Philippines is the selfie capital of the world, or at least the place where the most people tag their Instagram photos as selfies, according to a Time magazine ranking.
Time ranked 459 cities in terms of selfie takers by looking at Instagram photos that included both the hashtag "selfie" and the geographic coordinates. The more than 400,000 photos used to make the database were taken between Jan. 28-Feb. 2 or March 3-7.
The city, which is part of Metro Manila and boasts a population of more than 500,000, has 258 self-proclaimed selfie takers per every 100,000 people, the Time database showed.
"An examination of hundreds of thousands of selfies-the low-fi, self-shot photographs that are intensely popular among younger social media users-suggests that the city, part of metropolitan Manila and home to 500,000 people, produces more selfies per capita than any other city in the world," Time wrote.
Manhattanites produce the second highest number of selfies per capita, but the figures don't differentiate between tourists posting pictures from Manhattan and residents sharing their selfies, according to Times.
It is also worth noting that this ranking doesn't include the #selfie count from all five boroughs, the Times reported. According to the map, it looks at Manhattan, a small section of the south Bronx, some of Queens, part of northern Brooklyn and a sliver of New Jersey.
Miami is the third selfiest city, followed by Anaheim and Santa Ana, Calif., and Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, according to the Times.
