Manila like other cosmopolitan cities has its pros and cons. Availability of jobs is greater than in other cities in the Philippines. Expats will find the friendly disposition and English proficiency of most Filipinos a plus factor to set up their businesses or companies here. Although the horrendous traffic in the city may be discouraging to those who are used to efficient mass transport systems.

Manila is the capital of the country. Manila is a populated city and a bit dangerous if you don’t have enough knowledge about it, but you can also find very friendly people here. it’s not always about the bad side, for as long as you are knowledgeable about everything, then you are good to go.

Manila is the capital of the Philippines. There are many landmarks and beautiful scenery upon which you could explore. There are also a ton of malls and different kinds of restaurants around the metro. The only downside of the city is that traffic is worse and it is overpopulated.

Manila is a fairly great place although one should be alert whenever they are traveling within the city. One’s valuables should be kept close. Also, he or she should always be aware of his or her surroundings because other people might take advantage of someone who is new in the area.

For someone moving to my city in, he should know it is always traffic whether you use a private transportation vehicle or a public transportation vehicle. The advantage of living here is that the malls are everywhere. The cost of living is also not so expensive unlike the other cities. you should have a long patience if you consider living here.

Manila is the capital of our country. The number of people in our area are twice the number of the population of other cities nearby. City of Manila currently thrives to produce more jobs, like the City of Makati, in order for the city to sustain economic stability for the benefit of its people.
