With the booming industrialization in the City of Manila is the existince of a saddening situation of some oppressed parts of the metro. Despite the modernization and scientific breakthrough, the downfall of some aspects in the community is still evident. Furthermore, a saddening health situation is also one of the major concerns that must be addressed by the city government. My first week in Tondo, Manila was an eye opener despite of my knowledge of the real situation of the people living in the said area. Seeing it personally is heartbreaking. If I would gather all the pieces of the puzzle (Tondo situation), it would reveal a bigger and remarkable percentage of the unfortunate situation of the place. While approaching Canossa, what struck me the most was the “island of houses” occupying the national road. “Paraiso”, a popular song by the Smoky Mountain popped up immediately into my mind. Yes, it’s poverty and it only depicts that there is lacking political will in the city
