As someone who grew up in NCR or Manila, I couldn’t agree more. The only things I love about Manila are its tall skyscrapers, amusement parks, and malls. I even told my mother that I wanted to do my internship in Manila since my father stays there for work. There are a lot of opportunities in Metro Manila, you know. However, she refused my plan, and I understand her. Anyway, I’m glad to hear that you managed to cope with greedy taxi drivers!
