Something Wrong w/ Erap's Manila...

[badkuk]

The streets may be clear, but the side walks are not. Stroll around the area of Quiapo, and you will know what I mean. Some vendors are literally "living" on the sidewalk. Pedestrians have no other recourse but to walk on the street.

Went down to Quiapo a few months ago. Somebody is literally raising a pig on the bangketa. Walang pen, nakatali lang sa front grill ng isang shop dun.

i had the misfortune of walking through the Recto/Reina Regente intersection last Christmas, bitbit pa ng mga cake na pasalubong. Mismong kanto ng sidewalk sa ilalim ng overpass me street vendors. Yung mga dumadaan naman papili pili ng paninda. Lost my patience and started shoving people. Happy(?) Holidays!
