”Metro Manila: A Global City?”

To be considered as a Global City, a city should be a major hub

for specialized financial and producer services that keep the worldwide
economy running. The most well-known city here in the Philippines is
Metro Manila. It is the capital of the country and the center of
governance, institutions, and commerce. It has the attributes of most
cities in the world; bonded with gigantic buildings, various work
opportunities, and multinational companies. On the other hand, Metro
Manila still faces different issues as of today; heavy traffic which
caused it to lose 3.5 billion pesos a day; high population density which
causes pollution, specifically in bodies of water like the famous Pasig
River; and high-rate extra-judicial killings during the implementation
of war-on-drug operations. With these issues despite the developments
stated above, as a student living in a neighboring province of Manila
while knowing the residing issues, Metro Manila still needs a lot of
improvement to be considered as a global city.
