They are just normal people willing to show the city to foreigners...and the goverment has organized the thing quite well. If you guys are willing to change the way we see Manila, may be you should show us hand by hand. First Idea (imported from Japan)

But they're only pissed for a while...and none taken personally. They're sensible enough. But what would be one constructive way of improving Manila, at this point? Some say that maybe the rich in Manila can help do something about improving Manila. A grand idea, indeed. But it sounds like you have some constructive ideas you can share,about improving Manila. And a perfect city doesn't have to be boring. You never know, to a number of people, Manila may already be the perfect city.

I am ashamed. Cmon guys. Are we denying that what they are saying is true? I am a Filipino and proud to be one. I have lived and traveled in all continents except Australia and Antartica. I could have lived anywhere but I chose to live in Manila. I guess the benefits for me far outweigh the costs. Having said that, I do wish that our streets will be as clean, our buildings as grandly architected and built, our drivers as law abiding, our politicians as conscious about public service as ideal. Having lived abroad provided a reference for improvement. Yet there are also things I want to keep: the smile, the joie de vivre, the laughter. We should take people's opinion not as insults but simply as their view. If you want to put meaning to it by feeling insulted, you are also entitled to that right, but at the end of the day who has wasted energy and time getting pissed off? You. If you want to be constructive then do something about it. The problems in Manila are a lot but if we do our little part then we help improve it. Manila's never going to be perfect and there will always be something to complain about, whether it would come from us residents or visitors. Give me a perfect city and I will give you boringville. We love Manila that's why we chose to stay here. If you are already doing your part to improve it then all I can say is keep it up for it's not gonna be easy.

But yeah, about the Internet, the controversy is there, certainly. But controversies only happen now and then, they kind of spice up the ordinary. The controversy in the Internet is, in many ways, much more pervasive that it almost becomes a way of being...or perhaps that's an exaggeration. People permit themselves to say what might otherwise not be said in-person; and so the question of freedom of expression becomes an issue there. I mean the backstabbing and blackmailing in the Internet is a deadly thing. People just sort of say what they want to say. There's a different kind of threshold you have to accept when people can say anything they want to say; sometimes you're forced to say all this is just virtual. You hope for a dialog. But the dialog is lost when people's feelings are hurt, because of some of the hurtful things people say. The keyboard now becomes a tool for screaming; not a good thing; and it's worse if you're drinking coffee, while mad about somebody on-line: you're bound to have a caffeine heart attack and hope somebody is responsible enough to call the paramedics...:). And on top of that, there are different layers and brands of openness among cultures. Sure, the media and forms of colonialism may have helped sensibilities become uniform, but that may only be on the surface. I think there's a different kind of responsibility and accountability that people must be aware of on-line, if people desire to have a dialog.

I could filter the comments...but as long as they are not spam, everyone gets posted... So far, I was not expecting anybody wanting to comment on this blog appart from my relatives... I still belive in Internet as a source of controversy and dialog, so I´ll keep it that way. Yes. I could filter the comments…but as long as they are not spam, everyone gets posted…

If this is so, isn't there a feature in this blog (in the administration page) that makes you publish only those comments from your friends and co-workers? But then I guess you've screened the comments but still prefer to publish them all. So this blog is really only for people you know personally?
