Philippine Holiday 2017: Today In The Metro


Metro Manila, the city with favorable and unfavorable remarks.

Yesterday, my son was so engrossed to watch the bumper to bumper traffic.

At the old Dimasalang Avenue







We are now back in Manila. Today, I went out alone to pick up my new Philippine passport. After we eat breakfast, I headed to the Department of Foreign Affairs- NCR East Office, in Megamall. From the hotel in Malate where we are staying, I took two rides at the Metro Rail Transit to get there.
I have lived in the Netherlands for four years now, I never expected that for such a little time, there are many changes in Metro Manila. Twice that I asked a policeman because I got lost! There are many high rise residence buildings, the new Metro Rail Transit route, and many commuters are busy with their big cell phone. I would say that the Philippines continue progressing. Because the value of Philippine Peso is doing good, my husband remarks that the Philippines gets expensive.
But in a short time that I roamed around the Metro, it is however easy to distinguish the barrier towards real progressive life, the people who scattered everywhere that look like they are drowning in poverty. I have some photos that I love to share again. It was like a nostalgia to see places that for me is... As familiar as of my breathing, of my heartbeat.
