About Manila
'It seems that almost every day a new skyscraper is sprouting up. With its population of nearly 12 million, Manila is among the top 10 largest cities in the world, along with Shenzhen and Istanbul. It is one of the fastest growing metropolis on the planet, with ultra-modern business centres springing up on every street corner.
"Manila's skyline is varied, it's a multifaceted skyline. Manila is a metropolis, which originates at the place where the Pasig river goes into Manila bay. That's where you have the old city. Manila grew from there. It's a radiant city," says architect Dominic Galicia.
A growing number of people are moving to the capital from rural areas to try their luck. This colourful and bustling city has a very young population - the average age is 23.
A new generation of creative minds is leaving its mark on the cityscape. Among them is fashion designer Oliver Tolentino. He is always on the move but returns frequently to Manila, seeking fresh inspiration. He is a strong believer in eco-couture: the materials he uses, such as pineapple fiber and water-lily leaves, all come from the Philippines.'-Euronews
