                There's a political war here in Philippines between the administration and the anti-government... Rallies are huge in Manila!

                            Another exagerrated report from CNN. Since PH is a democratic country, people
                            can go to streets and voice out their freedom of speech. Everyday, you get to
                            see lots of protesters but in general, mostly peoply rallies.

                              Hit me up, I have been here for 9 months. I feel safe here. They are rallies, not riots.

                              Lots of hookers.
                              Lots of horny "real" girls, too!

                                      The rallies are not so bad. But it is hot, humid and extremely D I R T Y. One of the worst cities in regards of pollution. An hour outside and your white collar turn black. Smoking is more healthy then breathing fresh air in Manila.

                                      Oh, forgot to mention: the food sucks!

                                                      for once, we agree on something.. I dunno what good will a federal system do to our country.. but right now things here are tough with the politics and inflation. but nevertheless i still love my country and wouldn't exchange it for anything in the world..

                                                          I was more of like wondering.. what good will it do.. even if they change the system of government if the government will be run by the same corrupt officials.. i think it is pointless.. what needs to be done is to really flush out the corrupt officials of the government.. which i think is near to impossible.. hehehe..

                                                            well I heard there's too much political unrest there. I think its not on the kind of leader or the type of system, but on the citizens themselves

                                                              if none of these foreign countries had cheap hookers, would it be even worth it to live in some of these places

                                                                              It is good for a week ..... but after that there is nothing else to do than go to the mall !

                                                                              The nearest beach is 2 hour drive and a 1 hour boat ride or flying which is a 3 hour chore in itself !

                                                                              Do what ever you can to get moved somewhere else .... Manila is not a good quality of life. Not as cheap as every says unless you are living like the general population. Very easy to find yourself in a very very poor neighborhood.
