That dolomite beach has trash underneath it. The transportation infrastructure in the Philippines is developing. But more train routes are being constructed, such as the Clark International Airport to Manila railway and the Manila Subway system.

Good one Alex. It's always been interesting to me how public transportation works in most cities because here in Tampa everything is spread out and most people have a vehicle they drive. I'm planning on taking a trip to Istanbul in the future so Im trying to figure out things like transportation, getting a SIM card or cell phone there, how to get from the Airport to hotel and more. Lots of planning going on in my head 😂

As a true blue Filipino commuter since the 1980s. The reason why we have tricycle, pedicabs are for the reason not to walk long. Since Philippines is hot and humid. Since Pam said you walked 10Km that is a long walk my friends. I can no longer walk more than 7Km at 42. Haha! For me this is a one time thing you should do and it ads value to your content because you showed how tiring it is to commute. I also tried walking in Thailand from hotel to Train station. And from hotel to the Pratunam Market so yeah we arent used to walking in the Philippines. It's either we use transportation for a Km distance.

the manila LRT system (metrorail), specifically LRT1, was established in the 1980s and considered the 1st in southeast asia it was a monorail by 1987, singapore was the next country to adopt the LRT system tranvia (1878 - 1945) or tram was the 1st train network in manila during the spanish era and was totally destroyed during world war 2 although not similar in some ways, trams & LRTs were the best mode of transportation in their glorious era

Big city. It looks like it is always crowded. Large numbers of people everywhere. Like any big city that is the norm I suppose. But, I've visited large cities like Boston, New York, Paris, and at least they were manageable when confronting mass transit.

Lrt and mrt are the oldest metro train in south east asia, built in the 80’s thats why a little bit odd. But there is ongoing construction of metro manila subway. Definitely a game changer. Also a north-south commuter railway. Connecting north and south of luzon still under construction. metro manila is not all about manila, makati ang bgc. I prefer quezon city trinoma and ortigas area in pasig.

The national dish of the Philippines is called "pagpag." It's made by refrying chicken bones that have been collected from the trash. Since many people in the Philippines are poor and lack education, a lot of them have to find discarded bones in restaurants, refry them, and eat them.
