The place where I was born? Here is where I was raised. I used to lived and work here in Manila. Now I live in the province and I need to travel 3 hours before reaching Manila. I don?t mind because I don?t go to Manila often like before.

I want to remember Manila as one places that has learning experience in my life? this is where I?ve become who am I, this is how I?ve grown matured and this is where I?ve met a lots of different kind of people that are some are friends and some are enemies. I had so many beautiful and sad experiences in my life that happen here at Manila. Manila is different before? now they made the place beautiful and more tourist spot for our foreign visitors. Now you can walk along the Manila Bay safer looking at Manila Bay Sunset view? they had play ground for kids, they?d put a lot of light post along the path way, they?d put also police woman on the area, no alcoholic drinks in bottle but in cans only for safety. I can say that they?ve done a great job and I?m proud to all the people who worked so hard for making the place more beautiful. I can say that Manila is safer place now than before in my younger days but you still have to be careful just in case? so you won?t blame? lol!


Take a look at the worse and beautiful places you?re going to see around Manila? enjoy looking and reading my Manila Travel pages.

 In spite of the traffic and overcrowding, Manila looks like a great city--one I must see someday.
