Manila is crab, only Makati is beautiful , the rest of the city is only poverty, corruption and misery! Simply incomparable to South East Asia´s real beauties such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or even Bangkok!

Dblock, nevertheless great photos but one has to keep in mind that the Philippines are far from what their counterparts have achieved.

U should get pics of Macapagal area and The Fort in Taguig city, it's kindda like ABJ. Makati is just cool because its the bizness city.
@Constantin, true compared to HK, Singapore, and Malaysia, the country's behind.

Manila is quite beautiful, it is indeed behind the other Asian tigers but not too far behind. The Infrastructure there is worse than the other counties, the Airport is bogus. But everything else is superb. Security isn't a majkor issue, you've got armoured vehicles moving through strategic areas and the filipino malls are one of the best in the world, Singapore or Malyasia's biggest is no match for the newly opened Mall of Asia. but yeah. I think you were too harsh with your post Constatnin, but I have to admit it was abit of the truth, but a little too one sided  |

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful pictures, And some comments are right, there are some parts in the Philippines that still suffer from poverty just like other parts in the world. I was born there but came in states when I was young. I thought I would never want to go back there but when my family went to visit last Dec., I fell in love with my country all over again. Indeed it was beautiful. And inspite of people working hard like others do, there is seems to be less stress living there. People still have time to relax and see their family or friends after work. People seems happier there. So, we decided to move back there, For good I hope. I can not wait to go back home.
please,more pictures.

Thanks for adding more pictures. I can not blame your mom for not letting you ride on a jeepney, I wouldn't . Someone might grab your gold necklace from behind if not, from your side, lol. Joke but you know I have a point here. Did you happened to visit Villa Escudero in Laguna? If not, you should,

No Nigerian has the right to accuse another country or city of corruption. It like the pot calling the kettle black. No offense meant!
