I was learning a bit about old Manila and it went from being called the pearl of the orient to becoming overpopulated and filled with slums. What happened? Was it just always like this or something?
Urbanisation meant a lot of people moved to Manilla for better pay and opportunities. The historic part is still there it’s just tons of people moved in and around the city so it’s no longer the dominant part anymore. Phillipines is still your average middle income country.
