yes it's a nice city :)

i'm not sure about traffic, it's moderately bad during rush hours. But there are traffic enforcers in almost every intersection of the streets in the CBD. Some roads are also converted as one-way roads on specific times of the day to ease traffic jams.

oh ic :D

thanks

OMG.... I can't believe I was being questioned for a simple request to see more pics of other areas.... FINE!

"Restored wood and stone Hispanic style building in Intramuros, Manila's walled city. On the left is Manila Cathedral. Despite war damage, it's not difficult to imagine how Intramuros must have looked during the Spanish era."

http://www.aidan.co.uk/lg/PlpMnlSkylnRocks2Ppl5216.jpg

"Cityscape of Metro Manila seen from the south over waste ground. Two lone figures at the bottom of the image give a sense of scale. Viewpoint is from a flyover on C5 the circumferential road to the south of the city.


Would people from outside the Philippines recognise this cityscape as being part of Metro Manila?"

http://www.aidan.co.uk/lg/PlpMnlSkylnPalms5216.jpg

"View of the skyline of Metro Manila from an elevated viewpoint near the junction of EDSA and the South Superhighway. Manila has many similarities with Los Angeles - A Spanish-influenced old town, communities and districts spread out over a wide flat area, contrast between run-down residential areas and futuristic skyscrapers."

The opulent Spanish-style interior of St Augustine's Church.


"Walking inside St Augustine's church is like being transported back 400 years.Even on the most far-flung island of the Philippines, you'll find magnificent churches like this one."

"EDSA is the main orbital highway curving round to the east of Metro Manila. As well as eight lanes of traffic it has a Light Rapid Transit line running down the middle. Destination signs at this intersection include Pasay, Alabagang, Fort Bonifacio and Ayala. EDSA is an amazing piece of civil engineering, in many places like something out of a science fiction film. It's clogged with traffic virtually 24 hours a day and is permanently shrouded in a haze of exhaust fumes."

what is the speed limit of EDSA highway? Sometimes i think EDSA is not truly a highway.

btw, Manila looks fantastic in those pics! Looks developed than i thought.

There are no signs about the speed limit along the entire stretch of EDSA, so i'm guessing there is none. haha. cars can go as slow as 30kph and some as fast as 120kph.

It's so annoying, most parts of EDSA could support speeds of 120 km/h, but for some odd reason, all the people drive REALLY slow. It's so frustrating!

nice compilation richpol

thanks!!

"Zoom view of the upper sections of three skyscrapers in the upmarket district of Makati. The one on the right houses the offices of ABN Amro bank. The middle one is a residential tower. Makati has some very impressive examples of modern high rise architecture, but it lacks a single iconic building, such as the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur"

MM really does have an LA vibe to it

Great pics :)

Aidan quotes :)

"Crowds of people look down from Megamall upper levels at a sports event in progress on the ground floor below. With people looking over the barrier to see a sports event, there is a parallel with the painting by Jack B Yeats The Liffey Swim"

Metro manila is so superb... how much more if we saw the latest pics of the metro.. coz i thought those pics are not really updated... some buildings are still underconstructing while they are already finished... :)

I agree with what someone posted before about Metro-Manila being the LA of Southeast Asia, simply because of the Glamour vs. the Ghettoes, the great skylines, and not to forget the Top class drama and acting (which in the case of MM is more to do with the Political bureaucracy rather than with the Movie celebrities hehehe) ;)

Ortigas Center is the second most important commercial and business district in Metro Manila, Philippines. The district is located at the boundary of Pasig City, Mandaluyong City, and Quezon City. It is home to many shopping malls, skyscrapers, and nightlife bars and restaurants. Every day, thousands of office workers commute to the center to work within the hundreds of companies housed within the area's buildings.

Ortigas Center is surrounded by the streets of EDSA to the west, Ortigas Avenue to the north, Meralco Avenue to the east, and Shaw Boulevard to the south.

On the left of the photo is SM Megamall, which currently holds the title as the country's largest mall

Very impressive!
