Manila is not the place I'd want to stay in the Philippines, but it's not as bad as he describes. For example, it's a third world city, but it has a crime rate that's lower than most US cities and nothing compared to South America or Africa. It has 3 or 4 of the top ten largest malls in the world and it has a huge modern skyline
So it's not completely a third-world ghetto, although a lot of it is. The reason why Ejay dislikes it is because he thinks the people there are a different race from the rest of the Philippines. I honestly cant see it.
Same social class, same race, same country. His whole agenda here is to convince us that people in Manila and the surrounding region look completely different from the rest of the Philippines. He said the difference is like Nigerians & Greeks.
So has cebu...smtchl has a knack for posting atypical people or ethnic minorities
You usually post street people in Manila and say they're typical Manila people. So I posted the poorest Manila people and the poorest Cebu people, and whaddya know, they look the same.

Many of the poorest people in cebu are ethnic minorities from mindanao....like badjao ....i compared lowland visayan farmers and poor manilenos....and u accused them of being rich because they racially looked different from poor manilenos

How is this a fair comparison?
Typical Manileno (someone living on a sidewalk)
Typical Visayan (college graduate)
Do you not realize how dumb that makes you look? Different social classes, obviously. The videos I posted had many individuals in them, not just cherry-picked photos. And they were from the same social class. You can use the excuse that Cebu attracts people from other regions, well then I can use the same excuse. Manila is a HUGE city than attracts people from all over. I'd still say that the majority of the poor people in both Cebu & Manila come from surrounding areas or the city itself. And Cebu is surrounded by the Visayas on all sides. No more excuses for you.
Tiger Beer, Golden Tiger, Great Jack, and probably others have all been to the Visayas and the rest of the Philippines and have told you that the pics you post aren't typical at all. Dont act like Im the only one telling you this. You're fighting a losing battle trying to convince us. Everyone just laughs when they see your absolutely ridiculous posts.

My cousin comes from a simple rural background...so just because she had the initiative to get to college doesnt mean she is upperclass...they are both same economic backgrounds...just different race
People in the video said "it's safe and fun in Bali". People having fun all the time, and you don't have to worry about to get mug like in big city like Manila or Jakata too !

"simple" rural background AKA "middle class rural" she's not dirt poor. She's not living on a sidewalk. That's why your comparisons are flawed.
