Mabuhay Manila
Travel To Phillipines February 15th, 2010
Manila, as the metropolis not much different with Jakarta. Pollution, traffic, homeless, crime and other social problems is the mirror of a major city in the developing world in general. One time I took a bus across town, on the bus a little girl handing out a packet of sweets to each passenger, I think this is a free snacks for passengers, but the sweets wrapped in paper stuck to the contents of which appeal to passengers to buy sweets to help defray living the little girl who dropped out of school.
Every passing pengerah offices of labor, I always see long queues of people who took a job application folder, hoping to be accepted overseas employment. Understandably, the Philippines also compete with our country in terms of labor export.
Several times to read reviews from the Internet about the journey of the backpackers, many mention the legendary crime in the city of Manila. Perhaps because of the high crime rate, level guards minimarket had a gun in the waist. But every place is different, certainly interesting to watch.

Roxas Boulevard is one way the protocol in Manila City. Very strategic location, at the edge of the bay (Manila Bay). Along the way the measure is narrower than Jalan MH. Thamrin was standing important buildings such as government offices, an international network of hotels, as well as the United States embassy was heavily guarded by soldiers.
Like the way protocols in general, vehicle traffic is very dense, especially at rush hour. All types of vehicles passing freely here. At traffic lights, I saw Delman in traffic queues. When the light turned green, the vehicle in front of him began to move and accelerate the speed. Delman remained silent not moving. It turned out that another horse urine. Another vehicle was waiting patiently behind. Policeman who was standing not far from the wagon was averted even with the nose cap.
As a public space, Manila bay for a comfortable place to spend time in the afternoon. Pedestrian areas in the milling people who were jogging, biking, roller skating, or could also simply relax in the tent cafes facing toward the bay, watching the sun set. Cafes which held that there was “Live Music” after dusk.
The atmosphere was very festive evening. As I occasionally see the sunset at the bay, I witnessed the appearance of dancers and local bands on a stage entertainment across the street that was held to welcome the victory of Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino boxer who just obtained his featherweight world champion in Las Vegas.
