Yeah there are korean tourist in philippines but not many, like in bali easily we are meet some korean tourist even although not as much like tourists from westren ,east asian, australia, even though in actual data it doesn't reach 1 million tourist korean in Indo like in philipines ... by the way philipines is the most popular tourist destination namely "sex tourism" it caused by poverty making filipino women looking for sinful jobs by selling themselves to foreign tourists to get money easily . if in Indonesia foreign tourists really enjoy nature, culture even though tourist visit to Indonesian on data is 16 million below thailand & Malaysia

okay back to the original topic !!

Is ur pipe water fix your water quality? Infact ur water quality worse than jakarta
https://www.arcadis.com/en/global/ou...ture-success-/
So the conclusion is ur Manila need more basic water and food than Jakarta!

And tell me which country selling recycle rubbish food legal!
Dont tell every city around the world!
Oh at least we try to build giant sea wall,..than u nothing to do with your countryman eating rubbish!
If you look at the study, quality is only one part of the score. "The cities are ranked according to not only how sustainably they manage and maintain water, but also against their natural risk and vulnerability across three pillars of water sustainability – resiliency, efficiency and quality."

Manila scores low because of it's natural disasters (typhoons, which cause floods).

So why does Jakarta score so low? Does Jakarta have typhoons? No, it floods because of poor planning. 50% of the population doesn't have piped water, so they drill water for themselves, and then the city sinks.

Starting at 1:45, they explain all of this


So it's really Jakarta's own fault. They talk in the video about how the seawall is only a band-aid, temporary solution. And most of the Great Seawall project was scrapped by the governor. They've only built 4 of the islands for the seawall, the other 13 islands are not going to be built.



And Manila has been relocating people from slums into better housing for years. This is not just a Jakarta thing.
This is from 5 years ago





Social Housing Finance Corporation

And they're still continuing to do this, especially with the Manila Bay rehabilitation project.

Oh no, you don't get to just drop that accusation and run away from it. I saw a lot more poverty in Jakarta and Bali than I ever did in the Phillipines, especially when it comes to people bagging along the roads for food. And never once in either country did I see or experience someone trying to sell me sex due to poverty. That's a completely unfair accusation to make if you can't back it up.

Its okay, she/he clearly doesn't know what she/he is talking about that's why we don't really bother to comment anymore on anything what the guy says.

Anyway in addition, clear as the sun that the Philippines had 1,607,821 Korean visitors compared to 378,769 in Indonesia in 2017. That's only way less a quarter what the Philippines gets. How is that even a match? The guy is just proll trolling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touris...he_Philippines
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Indonesia

Add to that, most of the tourist visiting Indonesia are actually countries with land borders or way too near to them. 1,512,813 Singaporeans; 1,238,276 Malaysians; 1,188,449 coming from Australia. See, except for China, most of their tourists are people taking advantage of how easy it is for them to step in their country. The top bulk of the tourists visiting the Philippines on the other hand are farther away, Korea, China, US and Japan which indicates that they truly visit the Philippines for the sake of substantial visiting as tourist not just merely visiting because they happened to stepped in from a neighboring country.

If Philippines can attract 2 million tourist each from Korea, China and US then that would almost double what we are getting right now.

Well, keep in mind the Phillipines doesn't actually share a land border with anyone. Anywhere.

Come to think of it, when you compare Bali and Boracay, Boracay doesn't even have an airport, whereas Bali does. Boracay you can only get there by boat.

Point taken, but we have Malaysia on the south and Taiwan on the north very proximate but still the bulk of tourists comes from way far far away compared to them.

Boracay does have Caticlan or Kalibo airports, a brand New Boracay Caticlan airport is coming soon. Kalibo is a bit far,, Caticlan is just across it. Boracay is too small to host an airport itself hence it's much more practical to build it across Panay mainland. It is also possible that the party thing will resume across while it is limited on the island itself.

Anyway, back to the OPs topic.

Good then for ur slum relocation,.. how about most important basic food? how about education? how about healthcare???

And tell me which country selling recycle rubbish food legal???
Global warming is part of the cause for flooding in both cities, but it's not the only reason. Manila has typhoons and more average yearly rainfall. Jakarta's flooding problems come from it's poor water infrastructure. When you have half the population without piped water, you have people who resort to drilling for water. This causes poor soil quality, and then the whole city sinks. So Jakarta is contributing to its own problems.

The waterways in Manila are being cleaned and rehabilitated so that they flow easier and dont cause floods.






And just recently, they started a Manila Bay rehabilitation project




So Manila is doing things to protect from future floods. How is Jakarta going to protect itself if the Seawall Project has been stopped/delayed. It's the fastest-sinking city in the world, and then Global Warming is also causing sea level to rise.

Just look at human development index

| Human Development Reports- Philippines

| Human Development Reports- Indonesia

Indonesia scores only a little higher on Gross National Income per capita (GNI) but much higher on poverty. 27% of people in Indonesia are considered "working poor" meaning they live on less than $3.10 a day (in purchasing power parity terms).

Compared to 18% working poor in the Philippines. On other poverty indexes I've seen, the Philippines has just a slightly higher poverty rate than the Indonesia, they're essentially the same. So to act like the Philippines is sooo much poorer is ridiculous. They're both poor

at least we already built those giant sea wall,.. How about u? what you do to your people eat rubbish?
Not only u doing thing,... Jakarta rehabilitation project






Oh we have more budget, not just protecting from sea level but also protecting from invasion,...
Dont want became China province

You didnt even read the study. It was about sustainability, not about water quality from the pipe. Also, the sea wall isn't even close to being complete, and the islands project has been scrapped, so there's no more "Giant Seawall" maybe little seawall. Half your city will be permanently underwater soon, and it's mostly because of poor infrastructure.
