Manila a decaying city

Philippines
July 9, 2019 8:30pm CST
This was somehow said by the President D30 way back. What's worst was that the previous Mayor made a publicity stunt with the presence of the media which was insulting. however, the new mayor starts to remove illegal vendors and homeless in the streets and underpass. Lowering crimes and makes a future tourist spot again. I only feel sorry to those who just try to earn a living but they don't pay taxes. Sadly, He will be constantly facing death threats as time goes by. The City used to be the old Metro, but if you visit, it really looks old.
Familiar areas in the country's capital getting a face lift. This happens as Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno reveals, he was offered a five-million-peso daily ...

So this is the issue. I saw former Mayor Estrada’s quote earlier and I was dumbfound because I don’t know what it is.

Hello @JustBhem He's an old man who should have retired years ago but i guess he needed the money. You can't blame him for participating in those, he was born poor and he needed the money fast @CaptAlbertWhisker

I am looking forward to go to Divisoria. Finally, the streets will look like regular streets. I just hope that it will be maintained.

The last time I was in Divisoria I felt I like a Male organ inside a virgin hole. I wish I get to see the New Divisoria. I heard Quiapo is now clean too. I remember my bag getting slashed in Quiapo during the Atienza regime.

Hello @rakski What most people are thinking is the consistency on what he does. I hope they continue doing this.

Yes the newly elected Mayour of Manila is really showing some political will in the city as he received the city in a very bad state and is heavily indebted. So technically the city is cash strapped at the moment and the new Mayor will have to make do what is left of the city coffers for now. Hope he can survive this problem and can overcome the problems his city is facing right now.

Hello @rsa101 Well, he said he hasn't really done anything but the usual job of being mayor. He has so many shoes to fill and i hope that it really helps in the future.

@Letranknight2015 I just hope he can fulfill the needs of the city.... It looks like there are a lot of things he could do in his place. The past admin left him with nothing but problems. I think that this is a big challenge for him to tackle over the coming days.
