In the biggest city of the Philippines, the air pollution is in the hazardous level- 369.

In America's biggest city it's 3.

Manila's a hundred times more polluted. That's crazy! What is causing all that air pollution?
I was thinking about going to the Philippines (for the first time), but after seeing that website I'm having second thoughts. T_T |

The only thing good about metro Manila is leaving it.
7000+ islands to choose from. Stay away from the NCR.
5000+ island are virtually pristine. 1950 more are pretty quiet places to rest and recuperate.
As to what is causing all the pollution in the NCR... thousands of jeepneys, trucks and 2 cycle motorcycle engines running on dirty fuel spitting tons of soot into the air every hour - 24/7.

There is serious air pollution in Beijing too!
My friend who studied there, had to go back to her country to avoid it. |
