Manila, the capital of the Philippines, has undergone a significant transformation over the past 38 years. In 1984, the city was still reeling from the effects of the Marcos dictatorship, and it was plagued by poverty, crime, and pollution. However, in the years since, Manila has made great strides in improving its infrastructure, economy, and livability.
One of the most visible changes in Manila has been the construction of new infrastructure. The city has built new highways, bridges, and public transportation systems, which have made it easier for people to get around. The city has also built new parks and green spaces, which have helped to improve the air quality and provide a more pleasant environment for residents.
Manila’s economy has also grown significantly since 1984. The city is now a major center for business, finance, and tourism. The number of foreign companies operating in Manila has increased, and the city has become a popular destination for tourists from all over the world.
In addition to its economic growth, Manila has also made progress in improving its livability. The city has reduced crime rates, improved public education, and provided more affordable housing. Manila is still a work in progress, but it has come a long way in the past 38 years. #mapmory #manila #timelapse #philippines
