well having lived in Manila, Philippines from 1971 to 1993 and I think nothing changed much these are the bad of the PH: 1. Corruption, gotta pay off the cops , and even airport customs and I think its shit to have an exit tax where you have to pay to leave the Philippines, total scam. 2. traffic sucks bad, back then traffic was like 2 hours, now I hear its 4 hours. 3. Pollution sucks bad, yah try to swim the pasig river in the PH and get free botulism. open sewers, chest deep flooding during the typhoon season. 4. Hygene sucks, gotta boil drinking water, and these days I hear that is not enough , you have to drink bottled water. 5. Expensive restos in manila, yah you can get cheapo restaurants in Manila, but its dirty, good chance you can get food poisoning in those restos and the area where the cheapo resto is can be dangerous. Meanwhile its the relatively safe , upper class areas where you can get safe good quality food western standards the prices are 1st world prices. 6 . Law and order sucks in many places in Manila. can be dangerous esp. for tourists. or the locals feel you come from the upper class.
