 | MANILA | Nov 6, '07 8:35 AM
for everyone |
 MANILA is the capital of the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
Tracing its history, several occupations such as Spanish, Japanese, and American ruled over the historic city. The battles to win power over Manila caused the city to be crushed several times. Nevertheless the resilient city has always been able to rebuild itself and rise from destruction. Today, the metropolis is a thriving hub of culture and economy. It is home to over 10 million Filipinos and many Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Koreans, Muslims, and other foreign population who found a piece of heaven amidst the premiere city’s bustling commerce. Being part of the global cities of the world, Manila has been prepared to be more internationally competitive. From nostalgic structures and ruins to people, vendors and hawkers along streets, these only-in-the-Philippines trademarks give character to Manila, making it unique and outstanding.  Over the millennium, pollution, overpopulation, traffic, congestion, and crime became a challenge. Nevertheless, Manilans remain ready and willing to safeguard and uplift the illustrious city. Come what may, the innate warmth of the locals and the city’s unique identity makes it dear to people’s hearts and a place I call home.

been busy these past few months strutting the streets of manila and staying up late courting the different sectors of the community reminding people of the advocacy of progress, global competitiveness and economy for the people. i got a tan line not from the beach but from the sweltering kiss of the metropolis sun. well at least i was able to actually know what the 'masa' really is. ive been a loyal soldier for the grand architect of manila. we were fighting a political battle that we are sure to win with a victory that will bring a new face to the blueprint of building a truly premiere capital. with little water i quenched my thirst in our desert-like field, thinking about what im fighting for and everything else that comes with it including those who relentlessly believe in the same vision but arent really armed for the warfare. i know i was not that well-geared however, i march forward. with barely enough sleep and a pounding heart i keep guard to what ive been standing for in a more cramped political battle ground. i had my face scarred and all. the masa says we're losing. i continue to move on bcz i know i am not alone. i have so much to look forward to. i have made myself completely a part of this political warfare. i keep hold of what ive invested in the fight--myself. 
are we really on a losing end? afternoon of the third day of canvassing of votes. everybody's still hopeful for a miracle of some sort... ali conceded. we won 200,000 votes. way less than the opponent's. it was a clean fight at our end. im tired. im wounded. im dazed.
battle over.
