Crowded City

Don't like crowds? Stay away from Manila. This city in the Philippines is the most densely populated in the world, with the most people crammed into the smallest city limits (outlying suburbs don't count). As of the 2007 census, 1,660,714 people lived in 14.8 square miles (38.55 square kilometers).

So this is probably just speaking of Metro Manila or the NCR as a whole?

I'm currently reading the JBIC report, The Earthquake Impact Reduction Study for Metro Manila.

Dami kasi mga squattings crowding into rather crowded stolen lands. Imagine hundreds of families squeezed in a few hundred sqm. Tapos they breed like rabbits. Salamat sa CBCP.

Just a curious question sir, does that mean yung mga squatters nasasama din sa population census of the city?

I was thinking kasi na since illegal settlers sila eh wala silang permanent city address, hence no official documentation to prove their residency.

Or is there a different way to determine the city population?

Siyempre,- kasama sila sa survey.....

Botante rin ang mga iyan, di ba?.... Kung gayon,- kasama (ni/si Mayor)!....

^Of course kasama ang squatters. They're the most important citizens for elected officials.

If you remove them, what would the actual MM population be?

nakakainis nga tuwing mapapatingin ako sa gilid ng tulay or ilog sa metro manila ang daming squatters kaya mabaho tuloy ang mga ilog dito kaya ayaw din sila paalisin minsan kasi botante sila

nasa urban centers kasi ang pera kaya lahat ng tao nandito

like sa "Toughest Place to be a Bus Driver" yung pinoy jeepney driver nagtitiis dito sa Manila pero mas maganda sa province niya tabing dagat pa ang bahay
