There was a time the metropolis of Manila was a “heaven” to most Filipino. As an area considered to be the country’s capital, Manila is unsurprisingly thriving as a center of commerce in a country which tries to keep up with the rest of the developing world.
Back in history when the idea of making it big in life among Filipinos would mean being in one of two places—within the city of Manila or elsewhere abroad in a country deemed as having a “greener pasture”— many, for the logical reason of personal benefits, would choose a place more familiar yet significantly distant that is the former of the two. It is, after all, far easier to save up some money to ride a bus towards the Metro than to board a plane and altogether migrate to a different place of living outside of the country.
For many years, this has been the notion among Filipinos. As a result, the city that was once looked upon as “heaven” has now become a congested and overcrowded place to live in and whose promise of making it big for any person is enveloped with uncertainty.
This is not to say that there is not anything good in Manila—in fact, there are. Much of what are considered comforts and conveniences of the modern world can be easily found in the city. At the right setting, this may be indeed a place of heaven as was described to those who have known it but only to those who have capability to live in such regard—simply not for everyone.
Sad as it is to say, this was true back in those days yet at the same time, it is also truer still at the present.
Why stick to an overcrowded place when there are other places as good down south?
