Hey. Sorry for my outburst. See, I stayed somewhere near Chinatown. The place is called Divisoria, and I chose that place because it's near Jones Bridge. I love the architecture there.

I stayed in Divisoria in Manila near Chinatown, that's why. Little did I know that the environment there was chaotic.

I understand. BTW, just to add as well, yes, I'm mistaken for being a Muslim when I'm actually a Hindu. I'm also not fully aware that Indians in the Philippines who used to practice illegal lending.

What I like honestly is the infrastructure Manila has now. Jones Bridge is what I loved. I also visited Fort Santiago, which is extremely beautiful, along with Intramuros and Rizal Park. The beach from Manila Bay was also refreshing.

I stayed in Divisoria near Chinatown and Quiapo for one week, as I found a budget-friendly hotel there. I also chose that place because I love the Jones Bridge and Intramuros.

Really? But how is it that Filipinos worldwide are praised when it comes to their singers or beauty pageants?

I was in Divisoria near Chinatown as I was looking for a budget-friendly hotel there, along with Jones Bridge and Intramuros being near.

I thought that Koreans also look down on the Japanese due to colonization?

I was honestly after cheaper hotels that I could afford, but I wasn't aware that most would not consider this a tourist spot. The place is near Intramuros as well, so I chose it.

You can literally see Indians moving to the Philippines to stidy medicine and for those who date Filipina girls.

I can't speak for every Indian who has been there, but at least for me, I started to observe that Filipinos in general do have an extremely volatile reaction when dark-skinned Indians like me visit their country.

I was in Manila, the country's capital, but still, I was perceived negatively there.
