omg... my impression of the phillipines was mainly from my family: farms, jungle n towns... well that was like in the 40's and 50's, out in the provinces

but WHOA i didn't realize manila was THAT urbanized n that many skyscrapers...

[Ninja12 3]

[DuskTrooper 314]

Heh, it sure has changed alot since I left it...

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

Holy bananas!!! I never thought it would be that big!!!!!!!!! I imagined it to be like a Spanish colonial city with period buildings and traditional architecture, but it is huge, beautiful indeed.

[ABCD12345 1]

i never knew my hometown is that sooo dense

btw here some pics of my fave place...manila bay








too bad manila has some ugly parts like squatters..bumpy roads...electrical wires..etc, but hey philippines is a poor country

[sloppet 3]

well, nice, but the best city on earth is Krak

[IGGYMAN 101 1]

In the southern Metro Manila, they are some few hi-rise building that ever seen. Las Pinas is an one of the cities of entire las Pinas city. Take look of my city hall.....

[Ninja12 3]

same here dusktrooper, last time i visited there was 1997 and there was a few stuff there.

[Micah 16]

Yeah, I've seen numerous pictures of that city. Like others said, reminds me of Hong Kong. Also, reminds me of Houston too....

 

(Wish I had a better, larger photo)

Astig! Pinoy din ako! Hehe

Sadly, only few people know about Manila having so many skyscrapers. Well, what do you expect when there is a large gap between the rich and the poor? Tsktsk Think of Metro Manila as having slums and dirty places all the while there are skyscrapers popping out.

Anyway, Metro Manila is really a large area-there are many downtown areas. Imagine if all those areas were just one...Well I can't imagine hehe

But still, the skyline is beautiful. Different styles and shapes of buildings could be seen.

 

Here are some pics I found

  PBCOM Tower (Tallest in the Philippines) Obviously it's the one on the left...JOKE!

It's no surprise the gap between the rich and poor is so great in Manila. It's huge already (or growing) everywhere on Earth!


But anyway, I had no idea the skyline was that impressive! I'm sure with the bay and the tropical climate, it's really an amazing place to live---if you're rich, that is.

Heres some pics Louisville

[cnystrom1 1]

eewww thats just nasty

[meowza 230]

The Philippines is truely a country of immense contrast.  The rich is overwhelmingly priviledged, and the poor is unimaginably penniless.  Very few middle class citizens (in US standards).

And did you know?  The overall design of the City of Manila was originally planned by Daniel Burnham, the same man who worked on designing Cleveland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Chicago.

 

oh yeah, jeepneys are still on the loose:

hmmm....burham designed manila but...he didnt designed teh whole metropolitan manila area

about middle classes....im middle classin my area..there are tons of middle classes even the squatters are middle classes O_o

and....what if one day Metro Manila is filled with skyscrapers?

[meowza 230]

yayo, I said US' standard of middle class. 

The majority of the pop is lower class.  So in a statistical view, the lower class can be considered as the middle class since they are greater in number.

[Ninja12 3]

hahaha i love jeepneys there so fun to ride lol

[cnystrom1 1]

cool one day i hope i can visit this city! its so dense downtown!

Manila is formerly the greatest city in Asia but after corruption in the government started it lost it's glory. To remind it's former glory, here are some of the titles Manila had before: center of commerce, trade and industry, culture and the arts, fashion, elegance, agriculture, the elite, no bias, I got these from real facts. I'm just sad things turned around. Manila is "re-developing", not developing, it was already developed before. Thanks!

[_MostlyHarmless 17]

Pictures from my trip:

Which one am I?  Yes, the only white dude!  lol

[pilotdaryl 25]

Yes, Manila is dense.

I myself come from there.

You heard that right, Pinoy ako!!!

Yes it is good to see the Phils in modern day, haven't been there in years.

[sime-one 0]

I should know because live here everyday!
