Manila Realms

Manila - Philippine’s capital and largest city in the country. Where the dreams of every Filipino, opportunities overflow, destiny of the youth, and the different cultures are found all here only at Manila. Smiles and frowns, delight and sorrow, upper and below people are some people’s feelings.
Manila is famous for its high rise buildings, busy streets, honking of vehicles, parties, gigs, geographical topography, landmarks, world renouned schools, and universities and for the palace where the president lives.
Behind these positive things about Manila, poverty is still shown, even at our own government, the discrimination amongthe lesser people around the metro, the upliftment of prostitution among the youth, graft and corruption, and luxury life of people that embarked to each minds of Filipinos.
As I was strolling at the Roxas Boulevard, I saw almost on what’s happening in the country: sleeping in the street, begging for alms, fishing and swimming at the salty but smelly sea side, selling cold desserts, pearls, and american vintage coins (available at US Embassy?). In a single minute, a beggar came into us and he would like to share his “biko” to us. But my mother insisted to accept the invitation. Instead, she gave in a cup of water and she stare to him like she’s disgusted.
Let’s get in focus, if I will be the next mayor of Manila City, I will restore everything from culture, fashion, lifestyle, schools, curfew hours. People who are living in the streets, will be given housing plans, jobs and right to study for their children. Cultural shows must be done every week so that we can feel and show to our other Filipino people that our culture must not fade to black, it must be uplift more and more until we reach the highest peak.
But before that to happend, here I am, studying…
