Ever hear about the pollution in Manila? It's bad in some places. In others it's very bad.

There are ditches that run along many of the streets. It's not a storm drain but it's not the sewer either. It's just bad grey water.

Many times there is a very large sign that instructs you not to put your trash in this "stream". Most of the time no regard is paid to it though and you see it piling up, in one case that comes to mind, directly under the sign.

About half to the crap that's along the banks of the streem here is bio garbage and the other half is styrofoam and plastic.

Not this but another place in Comembo there is a strong odor 20 - 30 ft from the portion that crosses the street exposed at the sidewalks.

It's not nearly as bad as many streets that I'd been to in Pakistan.
