Metro Manila is the national capital, commonly known for its busy city life and several tourist attractions. The region is flocked by individuals who want to spend quality time with their families or have a fun night out with friends.
The country’s capital is also considered a haven by young professionals looking to jumpstart their careers or earn more money for their families. Most of the people who move to Metro Manila for their careers are enticed by the thriving business districts in the region, including Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas Center, and Makati Central Business District.
However, the country’s capital is also plagued by recurring traffic issues and road problems in the Philippines, such as traffic congestion brought about by battered roads, potholes, and unfinished or sloppy road repairs due to substandard materials, among a myriad of reasons.
In an article published by Philkotse, a study by a UK financial services platform early this year is cited, effectively ranking the Philippines among the top ten countries with the “worst quality roads.” With a score of 44.8/100 determining the quality of road infrastructure, the Philippines places eighth, just between Argentina and Iran.
