From the “Pearl of the Orient” to the “Gates of Hell”. Can we still recover from such humiliations? In 2015, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Summit will be held in Manila. The last time we hosted such an event was in 1996 but we have to hold in Subic. I am happy that P-Noy decided that for 2015, it will be in Manila to show it to all the foreign dignitaries and observers coming for this event. By that time, we should show them a Green Metro Manila, standing proud as the Capital of the Philippines. Over the years, we have lamented on the fact that Metro Manila (MM) is dirty, full of slums that we simply cover from public view every time big events like this happen. Now is our opportunity to show the world that we can clean and beautify MM again. We should claim back that title “Pearl of the Orient”. What needs to be done?
