If one would ask me about my top five favorite spot in Metro Manila I can assure Roxas Blvd. or the Baywalk would be on that list.
Nothing in the world can you see paradoxical mix of a beautiful sunset, a powerhouse embassy, polluted sea and a boulevard of broken dreams from lonely people, sluts and beggars rolled up into one setting in the very heart of the nation.
But now that the boulevard is damaged or destroyed by the lashing of typhoon Pedring last week I found an unexpected reason to still love the place.
Please take a close in the picture above.
The picture may look authentic at first sight but under the curious evil eye of the guy behind the blog quiapo.wordpress.com, you’ll likely say ‘hey this is photoshopped!’ Whoever edited and uploaded the picture sure needs more practice in the beautiful art of photoshop.So the rage against the ‘utak-wangwang’ on the internet begins. The photo was uploaded in facebook last week by a DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways) insider probably to make sip-sip moves to the big shits. But what seemed to be a not-so-honest minor issue inside the department became a national scandal and well a now iconic comical object for photoshoppers like me.
