【菲律賓遊學】㊢➦2013/11/2 馬尼拉大都會。轉機半日行 - Makati－大砲，有朋自遠方來

我的班機需至馬尼拉轉機，等候時間約為8個小時，所以我前往馬尼拉大都會拜訪我的菲律賓朋友，並且請他帶領我市區一日遊。

馬尼拉大都會與馬尼拉是不同的地區，部分商業區的現代化程度與台北不相上下。城市天際線卻比台北更壯觀。
身為建築迷的我，怎能錯過此遊？

第一站來到 Makati，公園被高樓群圍繞著。除了空氣汙染比宿霧來的嚴重，現代化建設與第二大城宿霧市相比，實在是極大落差。
早期美國殖民奠定了馬尼拉大都會的發展基礎，加上菲律賓政府集全力打造馬尼拉大都會，顯而易見城鄉差距甚大。
一但離開馬尼拉大都會區就猶如來到貧民窟。

I have to transfer my next flight in Manila airport after 10 hours, so I have 8 hours to visit my Filipino friend in Metro Manila, and he will guide me one day city tour.

Metro Manila and Manila are different areas, some parts of business areas are morden as Taipei city, but the skyscrapers line is more fabulous than Taipei city.
Since I have a fetish about architecture, how can I miss this opportunity?

The first spot we visit Makati, the park is surrounded by skyscrapers. Except the more serious air pollution than Cebu city, the modernization has a huge distance between Metro Manila and Cebu which is second big city in the Philippines.
American had ever colonized Philippines and built all basic infrastructures during early period, then the government focuses on building Metro Manila, as can be seen that city and rural areas have a big gap.
Once you leave Metro Manila, other places seem like poor areas.
