Yes, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_of_the_Philippines it moved from Quezon City to Manila in 1976. It seems that one thing is Manila (as metropolitan area), and the there's Manila (city) which belongs to the first (as Quezon City does). I think this is clear.
Next Sri Lanka, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka#Demographics, Colombo and S.. J.. Kotte are different cities, but it also says that SJ Kotte is a suburb of Colombo... Dont really know.
Micronesia. Wiki says that it moved from Kolonia to Palikir, and they are different towns, in the same island (Pohnpei) so I think this is correct.
And finally, when Guinea Bissau declared indepence in Sept 1973, it was the Republic of Guinea, and the capital in Madina do Boe. In Sept 1974 they changed the name of the country and moved the capital to Bissau.
