A work colleague told me the
other day that he was thankful he didn’t grow up in Manila. I asked him why
even though I sort of knew what he meant to say. So he answered “kasi hindi
masama ugali ko.” (Because I’m not mean). I knew it was a joke but I did agree
somehow. Honestly speaking, it’s understandable that living in an environment
like Manila, you do get a bit of a tough persona.
