    Yeah, they really cleaned up the place lately. You have pics? Do you want to share them here? Most of the architecture in Intramuros with the exception of San Agustin church were only rebuilt after the war. As for the Spanish architecture they were modeled after, I think they were modeled after the "Earthquake Baroque" style.

    It was a pragmatic move on his part. The future belongs to China after all.

    Actually, the Philippines is in partnership with Japan's JICA to build a subway in Manila.

    How extensive will it be? I imagine a city the size of Manila will need a very large system.

    Also, HK's development nowadays are dwarfed by the huge projects in many of Mainland China's huge cities.

    Just take Chongqing for instance.





    Without a doubt, Duterte was right to make peace with China for the sake of the Philippines' future development.
    Chongqing is no doubt a megacity and it's more strategically placed than Hong Kong by being in central China and is also at the confluence of the Yangtze River. However, central China isn't as rich as coastal China.

    As for Duterte making peace with China. I wish he'd do it without antagonizing the USA. He disrespected Obama once and called him the son of a whore, lol.

    It will run from north of Manila to the center before it U-turns and returns up north.

    Well, I think the Philippines is in a good place now. I think it is in the good graces of both Xi Jinping and Trump which is optimal for it's development.

    IDK about Chongqing being better placed because HK is at the head of the PRD, which is one of the world's greatest urban economies. They are different certainly. Central China is rapidly catching up in development however, even though it is still a laggard compared to China's coastal regions.

    I guess that's a good start though Manila probably needs an even more comprehensive system probably.

    Manila should learn from Shanghai and Beijing, which built giant subway systems underneath already dense urban areas.

    We may be in for a difficult situation with Trump around. He's a protectionist and most likely all the Business Process Outsourcing companies operating here, which are working for U.S. firms, will pack up and leave, which is a big-no no since BPOs form a large portion of the Philippine economy.

    Maybe Chongqing and HK are just different. Chongqing is more geared towards the domestic economy while HK which is at the head of the PRD is geared towards international trade.

    The cities in the PRD are well suited for that purpose.



    Also the PRD's economy is more varied...

    There's financials in Hong-Kong, gambling in Macau, manufacturing in Shenzhen etc.

    That will only be phase one of the operation, they're planning to extend it all the way south until Laguna de Bay. It will also criss-cross with the already existing above-ground Metro-Rail System.
