Manila Now

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

For me, + this is just an opinion.

Manila has so much potential. The city and it’s country are only beginning to realize some of its potential.

Most of us were not around during the 1900s.

Though from what we could remember about then, they were times when Industrialism & Entrepreneurial were in full swing. ThinkĀ  Carnegie, the Ford, Firestone, Morgan.

It is 2010, yet in so many ways Manila still physically represents scenes like this:

New York City Early 1900s

New York City Early 1900s

It’s really Amazing! Time Travel doesn’t seem possible. But not only are we in a time zone 12 hours ahead of New York City, but it feels like New York City in 1900 — at times.

Worldwide, one could think thatĀ  ‘Developed’ Western Economies better re-think what they have done and where they are going, and whether they think they will attempt to drag the entire world down with them.

The higher you are, the higher you fall.

These Developing Nations, such as the Philippines have nowhere to go but up! Brazil, Russia, India, China simply lead the pack. Many others are more nimble, smaller, and resourceful.
