I know so little about Manila. What can you teach me? 
 Sure. Manila City is found in Asia on the east of the Manila Bay. It is roughly 1,300 km from mainland Asia. 
 Cool. What other things can you tell me about their geography? 
 Most of the area is atop alluvial deposits--soil/Earth that has been reshaped by the water from the Pasig river. 
 Is the terrain mountainous then? 
 Sorry, I don't have that information, but interestingly the Pasig River cuts through the city, dividing it between the North and South. 
 That is very interesting. Could you enlighten me on their infrastructure? 
 The construction of the first light rail train, Line 1, in Southeast Asia began in the 70s. 
 Are light rail trains the preferred mode of transportation? 
 I can't say if it is the most preferred, but in addition to the light rail, taxicabs, tricycles with sidecars as well as bicycles with sidecars are common forms of transportation there. 
 Fascinating. Do you have any statistics on how crowded the roads get during peak times? 
 Sorry, I don't know that precise answer. However, a census from the 60s had the population in Manila at 1 million. I'm sure it has grown since that time. 
 Most likely. Thanks for all your help. 
 It is reported that cities with larger territories are expected to over take Manila by next year, so it sounds like the population will grow, and will add to the amount of traffic. Happy to help!
