Sometimes, travels outside the country do something to your senses. For me, I started comparing. Manila should have CCTV cameras on the road instead of kotong cops. Rude Filipino drivers should be re-educated in good driving and good grooming. Convicted corrupt government officials should serve jail sentence instead of getting presidential pardon. Filipinos deserve a better health plan from what is currently provided by PhilHealth.

And aircraft passengers deserve a better view when entering the Philippines.

This is Metro Manila covered with smog, balding mountains and houses that look more like a garbage dumpsite to me. Imagine all kinds of wastes heading down Laguna Lake.

What a sad story.
