When it rains, the best way to travel in Metro Manila is via the light rail train system: the MRT or the two LRTs. But, as this picture shows, &#8220;best way to travel&#8221; only means you&#8217;ll get there on time, but not necessarily dry.
If you look closely, you&#8217;ll see a woman holding a brown umbrella [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danabatnag.wordpress.com&blog=3813736&post=1802&subd=danabatnag&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Crowds have always been a problem in Quiapo. When the church is full, which is always, people stand beside the open doors to hear the mass. Now they can see the priest, too, through this large TV mounted just beside the main church.

Quiapo, too, has its share of religious icons, but only the miniature ones. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danabatnag.wordpress.com&blog=3813736&post=1417&subd=danabatnag&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The cheapest flowers in Metro Manila are in Dapitan, where the flowers from Baguio and Benguet are unloaded. 

I haven&#8217;t been there for years, finding it too far away from where I lived. When, by accident, I found myself back in Dapitan recently, I asked how much the flowers were and was pleasantly surprised to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danabatnag.wordpress.com&blog=3813736&post=1377&subd=danabatnag&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Manila is an old, old city, full of contradictions and strange ironies. Yesterday, trying to track down an interviewee, I found myself in the city that was my first beat assignment when I started as a reporter, more than 20 years ago.
