Short walk thru’ Manila

Flying over the skies of the Philippines,
I will always remember the view of the numerous islands…

We had a short transit in Manila,
and decided to explore the city and perhaps get on one of the cool Jeepneys..
Their most common form of transport,
the Jeepneys are bright, eye-catching and definitely very local.

Street hawker selling some guava.
(a green tropical fruit that goes well with sour plum powder)
We walked through the streets of Malate,
an old-meets-new neighbourhood
Here’s an unrestored Malate Church.


Street food with barbequed meat
- Isaw manok (intestines), chicken liver, and three-layered fatty pork

We didn’t have enough time in Manila to really get a feel of the city,
but an odd but interesting fusion of modern buildings and traditional street hawkers.
