I have always thought that Manila has a lot of beautiful landmarks that depict the rich history of the City. One summer, we decided to explore the Capital of the Philippines armed with the preparedness to combat the scourging heat of the Metro and the possible danger of a beautiful temptress.

Metro Manila is a mix of drama and crime thriller film that was set in Manila itself. It was able to show the underlying truth of the people living in the slums and are ostracized by society. Oscar’s personality was evident that he’s a hardworking man who would do anything for the good of his family.
