The City of Manila

[Waldenstrom]

looks a resort in a polluted bay! Those dinasours don't look good too

I hope they just bring back the old Baywalk.
- Clean the bay and don't let people swim there.
- Put some nice cafes, bars and restos but limit their number
- MAINTAIN CLEANLINESS

Well, I went to Tondo without waiting for an answer from you guys, and I can honestly say it's the worst place I've ever been in my life. Damn.

Yes in Mandaluyong, Barangay Barangka Ilaya yung nasa tabing Ilog.

Yung nasa Makati side, J.P.Rizal Street 'area' - Barangay Poblacion.
Kung sa umaga ay makikita ang tawiran ng bangka dyan.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar
buti na lang nailigtas ni Mr. Acuzar, yun nga lang wala na sa Manila. Sana kunin na lang lahat ni Mr. Acuzar yung mga old houses sa Manila.

Remarkable....thanks for sharing this.

Bihira ka makakakita ng mga Pasig River Mandaluyong Photos, papaano kasi ang pagpapakilala at pagpapakita sa tri-media ng OIL DEPOT ay MANILA lang.
Kapag sinabi sa media na MANILA OIL DEPOT --Pandacan agad ito?

Eh papaano naman ang nasa BARANGAY NAMAYAN(Barangay number 18) , MANDALUYONG CITY.
Meron nagsabi nuon dito sa SSC Metro Manila na meron nga daw na mga malalaking drums dyan sa Pasig river sa Mandaluyong area.
Oo meron nga sa lugar namin yun. Mga langis at kemikal yun.
Yung mga kapitbahay ko wala man lang lakas ng loob na isiwalat ito sa internet at ipanawagan sa mga lokal na opisyal at kinauukulan dyan sa Mandaluyong(Ano kaya ang dahilan?)

Thousands of sweaty poor people setting up their market in the streets. Dozens of people sleeping barefoot at the side of the road. At one point I encountered what seemed to be blood in the street-- surely it's from an animal, but it adds to the sense of foreboding. I have to sympathize with the Manila city mayor, this isn't a problem that can easily be fixed.

I got to see Manny Villar's old house too, at the corner of Moriones and Sta. Maria streets. It has been painted light green by the MMDA and even has a "Metro Gwapo" stamp on it. Has a bunch of Villar posters on it. Not much else to say about that.

of course it can easily be solve....kung magaling lang ang mayor....bayani style....

PMAP nagparamdam sa rally

Dahil umano sa hindi matatawarang kakayahan na pamunuan ang lungsod ng Maynila at maiangat ang pamumuhay ng mga maralita ay inendorso ng Peoples Movement Against Poverty (PMAP) ang kandidatura ni dating Manila Mayor Lito Atienza at ang buong tiket ng Buhayin ang Maynila.

Sa isinagawang kick-off rally, sinabi ni PMAP chairman Ronald Lumbao na iisa lamang ang layunin ng PMAP at ni Atienza kaya ito ang alkaldeng iniendorso ng grupo na kumakatawan sa maralitang tagalungsod.

Sinabi ni Lumbao na nabigo si Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim sa naging pangako nito noong 2007 elections na itaas ang antas ng pamumuhay ng mga Manileño kaya hangad nilang maupo si Atienza upang bigyang sigla muli ang Maynila at mga residente nito sa pamamagitan ng paglulunsad ng mga programang nakatuon para maibsan ang kahirapan.

Ang PMAP ang isa sa pinakamalaking grupo na lumalaban para sa mahihirap at siya ring nag-eendorso sa kandidatura ni dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada.

may magagagawa, kung may political will ang leader.
