Philippines 2006 -- Manila Traffic

[oreoweb6]

very interesting...talaga ;-)

[Austronosian311]

this is boring fuckers....

[realtalk897]

born in NY stayed in L.A., im filipino and have been to the philippines 12 times in my life. Traffic in NYC or L.A. is nothing compared to the Philippines. If you can drive there, you can drive anywhere

[vegasrdy]

it's over populated and not enough room for vehicles....same in the us, no matter how much you expand the freeways/roads., there are still too many cars, thus traffic is still the same..

[JD55000]

You should tape Manila traffic in the afternoon,around 5pm!

its crazy...the sky is red,the smell of pollution,the thousands of crowds of people walking or standing in the streets, its crazyyyy

pinoy pride

!

[kjlao]

Traffic jams in manila is usually caused by those public utility vehicles who stops at anywhere. Manila is one of the worst among the major cities of the Philippines..:)

[AndrzejMastalerz]

Very interesting image of the city.

[TheAkosiPaolo]

I love the sound of diesel engine sin the morning!!!!

[1964USNsilverback]

dude, i grew in quezon city, manila and cavite, i worked at the us embassy in manila 2005-2006, this ain't traffic, this is a good day to drive in manila, what the _ _0)

[ohnzee]

traffic doesnt mean... cars not moving at all.. maybe he meant the ongoing traffic in manila.. how it looks like etc..

[JD55000]

@1964USNsilverback dude your not filipino,your American

[HighDefinitionEDM]

someone once said

"if you can drive in manila you can drive anywhere in the world"

[Gahara08]

i hate manila traffic polution crime etc.

i love cebu, davao,palawan etc.

[martypom406]

Cant wait to go back to Manila. I love the non stop 24/7 traffic, the smell of diesel & 2stroke from the tricycles. it took three days for my throat too clear. Bye Bye ozone layer!!

[butuan97]

I love Phil but i hate manila

[kenzi23]

kahit anu pang masamang sabihin about sa pinas .. gusto ko pa rin sa pilipinas kesa abroad... kakamiss umuwi salamat sa pag upload..

[roniepao]

i love traffic, it makes me feel alive.

[TheAkosiPaolo]

I dont care how bad the traffic is in the Philippines, I still love it!!!I love everything about.Pinoy ako!

[magister1982]

please care. i know loving something means accepting it for what it is but please care enough to at least hope it improves. complacency is the greatest enemy of efficiency! BANGON PINOY!

salamat.

[ebmirador]

People have always told me how bad the traffic is out there in manila....and now i can see how bad it is.....I'll never ever want to be stuck in that traffic.

[avcomth]

This was from 2006?? Most cars looked a bit outdated, even the Taxis are still the old Corolla model...

[keokiracerhalsteren]

whats the guy doing at 3:26

why is he turning there

[japo41]

aw..makes me want to go back =(

[Leggylegs22]

nerve rackin sons of bitches. This would suck to drive in everyday

[gears1973]

[llamaghawa]

just be glad you are all alive, whiners!

[kelseyarden]

[RepublicadeFilipinas]

¡Un saludo! Desde el Canal de Filipinas en idioma español.

[dinolopez86]

[circulomadrid]

[pinoyako2586]

putang ina mo you beaners raped our ancestors go fuck all spanish people , spanish people are dirty ,loud , fat,and uneducated and guess what the spanish descent only has 3 million so all spanish go fuck off and go back to your fat mothers

[odin66673]

in philippines i notice the traffic laws is not enforced.but however i find they have the best security like going in malls and stuff you get checked.over here in america is the opposite.they enforce the traffic and dont care about security like in malls ect.

[zeroxstrife250]

Lol I noticed that too. but I'm pretty sure any of the Malls in the Philippines have those electrical check things right in front of the doors like here in America.

[shredingman123]

@odin66673 our government services are crap that's why traffic rules arent enforced, however, our private services are a different story

[stealthbomberjacket]

The traffic never change in manila

[Pinoysolja7]

RC cola anyone?...hehe

[djchoco99]

damn...try watching and listen to this video carefully with out any other noise nor music.. then observer thoroughly...

it felts like your back home...

thank you for this clip!

5 stars!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

That traffic is one of a kind. As Filipino, a part of me hates it and a part of me misses it.

[salisburyguy1]

Traffic's always bad there. Get used to it or walk.

[nognogme]

grabe sa pinas mo lang makikita yung 3 linya ginagawang 5 hahaha!

[crzdbiker]

yan ang kagalingan ng pinoy!

[pwalpar]

This is one of my pet pieves, Traffic LOL

[ABSandGMAcritic]

In the Philippines you can do handshake to other passengers of another vehicle and say, "WUSSUP HOMIEEEE!"

[fearvgo911]

thats metro manila

[pasukngpasuk]

I hav a fav vid of spanishmanila that will travel u back in time. It was b4 manila was completely destroyed during WW2.Manila in contrast.

[popogie22]

Well, b4 i had 'long-distant-relationship' coz i lived in LasPinas and my gf in North Fairview. i had to pass all along EDSA almost evry day on rushhours...I will never get those lost hours back!^^

[UFOHaiti]

biodiesel made from coconut oil, jatropha oil and sugarcane ,  forget OPEC

[digitalchatroom]

we filipinos hardly use the traffic rules haha

[weedashtray]

in short, walang diciplina...

[drifterZ00]

we learned it all from the filthy tagalog race

[mhc4413]

Tagalog is a dialect, not a race. Idiot!

[Xbawcks4life]

@digitalchatroom Comparing to India, the roads are so nice, so organized, and really clean.

[Ahya728]

I don't see tuned cars.. 'nyways, it would be heavier if there would be jeepneys around, in this vid, there are'nt any jeepneys

[jairyn]

good news the chocolate hills gain one notch placing it on the 7th place for the the new 7 wonders of the world and tubbataha reef chasing on the 9th place,pls itoloy po natin ung ating suporta in our own litle way makatolong man lng sa negatibong imahe ng naghihikaos natin na bansa, for sure nman kasi wala naman pakialam ung gobyerno natin sa mga bagay na ganito-no money involved kasi kumbaga d pagkakaperahan wala clang kikitain dito. GODBLESS THE PHILIPPINES!

[shitcalee]

the honking and everyone pretty much not using the lanes! hahaha ahhh makes me wanna go back so bad :)

[Andybucker]

Don't worry, people do this here in Ireland too:-D By the way, I adore Your country, and people.

[pinoypangit]

Yeah dude, I heard of Ireland welcoming black soldiers in WW2. I never been in your country but I already like it.

[jville36tom]

looks like people there like to honk their horns

[sisigwithrice]

lol you dont know the half of it -- people honk their horns as a form of unwritten communication on the road -- they use it to say "me first" or "WTF are you DOING?!" or.. "ERAP Resign!" (haha) or "Yo theres 5 feet in front of you please move 5 feet ahead" lol

[popogie22]

and specially we use honk if nothing is moving anymore coz then it makes the most sence!!^^

[Gahara08]

lol erap resign..

[Michaelbrimz]

its kool coz iv been there, those roads!

[alwayspogi2794]

not just monday morning. every morning. lol

[JUNOMAN]

just by seein dis it makes me wan to go back to pinas

[gregnkaren02]

The air there looks cleaner than it did when I was there in 1987. Cairo, Egypt had the worse traffic I'd ever seen.

[jokoono0952]

whats the point of all?

[35ams]

If Holiday no traffic especially holy week.

[uberathlete]

Oh yeah! That traffic is one of a kind. A s Filipino, a part of me hates it and a part of me misses it. It's all part of the Filipino experience.

[bambillen]

uberathlete, same here i hate traffice is manila..but you i miss it to...

[iulianperfect]

Come to Bucharest Romania to see how it is....its terrible...this is fine.

[guitarman069]

i wont consider that really traffic,.,go to india..bumper to bumper..you can bet your life the cars wont move over an hour

[woai652]

better than america

[tinofilipino]

it's relative to what you value

I value clean air =)

[jacups21]

don't worry country

[strfruit]

this vidoe is for those who like it.

i happen to like it.

what's really amazing is that nobody snatched this guys camera for a whole 4 minutes!

[kemosabe73]

lol!

[v0ices]

MANILA - Outraged over fuel price hikes the Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (Piston) announced a series of protest marches, noise barrage and selective route strikes in preparation for a general strike December to dramatize 3 demands - government restrict the oil price hikes, scrap the 12-percent value-added tax (VAT) on oil products, and suspend the Oil Deregulation Law.

[rammstein11004]

this video was awful i cant believe that 32,000 people had nothing better to do than put it on for as long as it took to write this comment i am going to request you tube remove it due to it being so boring. its worse than XM traffic and weather.

[rammstein11004]

what was the point of this

[Srovets]

What is the point of your videos?

[rammstein11004]

hanging a camera out of a window playin noise is about as exciting as watchin grass grow. please dont make a full length feature.

[Srovets]

One click on your profile shows the full extent of your creative credibility. Thanks for watching.

[rammstein11004]

dont be a sore loser just dont quit your day job.

[xmtz]

Looks just like any 3rd world country I have been to. All 3rd world countries look pretty much the same.

[mikedailing]

Let's see.. this was over OVER a year ago.. Now, hmmm, how's 'traffic' now?.... 8.5 TIMES WORSE... Imagine, sa Maynila ha, to get to a luncheon meeting.. have to start at mnga 9am... then.. Lunch.. then back to office.. by 4.. wow.. a Whole day.. for Lunch? :>)

[warbaby28]

[handsomehaah]

[mcbong10]

[boyurismo]

this is why I can never drive in manila, drivers there are worse than new york city cab drivers! and whats up with not using your turning signal and non existent lanes?! gawd..

[thecrooner4jc]

cool video .. I spent 2 weeks in Manila this summer, and couldn't believe it. They have a very innovative traffic system concerning rules of the road -- THERE ARE NONE !!

[origbayocot]

they take going to baclaran road but if they take a ROXAS BLVD.. i think there no trafic.. and go then to SM MALL of ASIA the BIGGEST MALL in ASIA here in OUR COUNTRY.. u must check it out.. if u want real trafic go to RECTO and ESPANYA and EDSA be careful on that street.. TIMOG also.. ok but nightlife sa MANILA MASARAP hot spot MALATE and TIMOG.. and MAKATI

[TrekkMonkey]

DAMN!....i thought LA traffic was bad!

[mikeybaby40]

[RaNekhen]

[raym610]

[titiluv]

wow. so that's how manila traffic looks like.. they tell me i wouldn't be able to drive in manila cuz u gotta drive bumper to bumper or sumthin. but what i saw is the way i drive here in Toronto..thanks for the taste of manila driving DUDE!

[JD55000]

this traffic video isnt even hardly traffic..you should really see how bad the manila traffic really is..i was there and im like all squished between all these cars lol

[petronbuns]

Manilla is shit, they think they are all up their, they need to realise they aren't the only people on the islands of Philippines...

[anak1]

hehehe Manila isnt all that bad.. its just some of the Manilenos think they are better than everyone else in the country... plus the traffic is bad.. lol

[n00bskies]

Mindoro all the way. manilas way to poluted.

[eric5906]

How funny, I was in Manila the day before this video was made.

[deadboydetective]

that's worse than LA......i neither have the patience nor time to drive through that kind of traffic. but then again who does?

[ROVOT]

I guess this must be nostalgic for guys and girls who don't get to go home to the phils often. living in this city everyday though takes a lot of the magic out lol.

[shandrew29]

sa may coastal mall yan ah? papuntang airport.. aw..

[urc56c]

cool sites...just like bangkok.

[RICEFREAK]

hahahahaa! I love manila man! I was raised in manila! But we moved to california......

[yagibuman]

[Defcon5Es]

they need to learn how to drive on their own lanes hahaha

[XxsithlordxX]

I did not see one traffic light? I guess thats why asians can read minds.

[JjMe2525]

[eunice402]

oh my god , it`s like every minute or seomthing - -` . . heat ! plus traffic is soo not a couple !

[insanerhapsodist]

The philippines is not as bad as everybody says it is. I haven't been there since i was a baby, but my moms been there and she always says how beautiful it is. I would LOVE to live in the philippines one day. Perhaps one day I will.

[iownallnoobs]

there is more than 1 island. there are some good parts, and there are bad parts

[gmmahoney]

i visited 3 years ago it was bad time but now it changes for the better. traffics has good used to me. i had a chance to dream good-sorted out my life in a way. i felt better. life in america is stressful and mostly phony. in philippines i do not also understand passive-laid back mentalities but when meeting the right people then things went well. good life depends on you.

[precioustarah]

damn i hate traffic especially when Im in a hurry and If it is so damn hot!!! (phils) make me feel kinda dizzy ... but yeah "there's no place like home"... thanks for the upload, I'll be home uhm yeah maybe soon... (2008) :P dang can't wait!!

[buhangit]

man, i sure miss that scenario!! being stuck in traffic inhaling the wonderful diesel fumes that makes u sleepy>_<

[sakabato24]

u where lucky that u didn't have to be in a overcrowed bus... it suxed when i had to... a lady also yelled at me when my bag accedentaly hit her...

[water2603]

i went there around july \

[alanlds]

it's true manila traffic isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. the problem as someone mentioned is the pollution. besides what is your hurry anyways when you come to the philippines?

[utubegeneration]

How bizarre, How bizarre, OMC style of traffic

How bizarre-OMC New Zealand

[abbysky1]

I miss home, I get to go this May!!!

I don't miss the traffic though...

[avitech77]

I was always told that the roads in Manila were horrible and full of potholes with no lane markings. This video is a real eye opener. I am an Americanized Philipino but I would NEVER move the the Philipines LOL.

[vansupermytube]

Hey...what do you expect of a city which is the heart of Metro Manila????No Cars running? Why don't you open your eye so you can see the lane markings. That's the problem of people who's minds are permanently closed...If you don't have something good to say about the Philippines, don't open your stink mounth ok!!!!

[chessbuff]

avitech, that's filipino not philipino. it's a common mistake but best corrected. you probably are saying that you are filipino-american, and not an americanized filipino. i dont mean to be pedantic but trying to be accurate. live where you're happiest but accept the world as it is. let and let live, as the saying goes. cheers.

[hotshit969]

the philippines dont need u anyway

[taekomukhamo]

@avitech, sir, you are just one of those dumb Filipino-American in the world. how many times did you take your English class anyway? pretty funny. i got a classmate, born and lived in the US for 17yrs, yet he still took our English class 3 times. Our country don't need folks like you anyway. and oh, guys, i exactly know where this video was shot, its near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. what do you expect from a very busy airport anyway? less traffic?

[Pinoynakungpinoy]

shame on you...

[insanerhapsodist]

it's FILIPINO not philipino you idiot. and with an attitude like that, how dare you even call yourself filipino. Stay in the US. the philippines don't want people like you anyway.

[cindypink09]

You're a shame to all Filipnos! you idiot! we don't need you anyway...

[jebsenladao11]

OMG youre a bitch and i hate for that and we FILIPINOS dont need people like you,youre not a pinoy you cant even spell it dumbass we dont care if you wannabe "americans" dont move here,you'll be living your whole life not knowing your background....youre just a piece of shit trying to be an american sucks for you bitch

[headgrant]

The traffic in Manila decreases at night, its good for me cuz Im a night person. All I can say is evrybody can learn how to love Manila.

[TRUEASIATIKTRIBE]

why traffic in Manila? because 40-50% of all vehicles in Philippines are in Manila :(( waaaaahh!!! I missed Philippines...I wanna go home...Christmas Season there is the best than any other country.Thats True!

[chessbuff]

This level of traffic isnt bad at all. I drive into Manhattan from New Jersey in the morning and back in the early evening. Those 17 miles across the GWB, down the Westside highway, and across 42nd street can easily

take over an hour (rush hour). On bad days, two hours. If you're used to driving in big American cities, Manila isnt bad at all...just work on the air pollution!

[hailstorm1375]

I spent 7 weeks in Manila opening a call center. I LOVED it! The ppl are truly amazing! But thank god I had a driver, I would've NEVER been able to drive there!

[abaygirl]

I was there last year and yeah the traffic is like crazy .. now that I look at phils now I missing it !

[Puttyytang]

if you can drive in the philippines you can drive anywhere in the world its true

[828707]

ha april is like part of the hottest time of the year there. mukang mainit na nga nyan

[aaron1983]

Wahehehehehe I drive the best!!! I dont like how PUVs load and unload passengers everywhere, even in the middle of streets, gets on my nerves.

[abaygirl]

I remember my tita how she drive it like crzy drinking .

[N0GGINB0NKER]

That's nothing. I was there last christmas. You should see it then.

[talagangpinay]

i think i wont remember the strets any more...there's a lot offnew buildings and especially skwaters...

[ZeMino]

lol, is that Nayong Pilipino on the right at 46 seconds

[tabacco2005]

manila manila i kept coming back to manila!

[LevyRated]

Balik na kase kyo d2 mga kababs

[diePIGdie]

this traffic isnt that bad. they're still moving!!! when traffic gets really bad, cars dont move for 20 minutes or even more!!!

[diePIGdie]

ppl there don't care much about walking or crossing the highway. haha.

[LordDjibril]

I was wondering from which part of manila was this video taken

[nolan628]

This is worse than Chicago Traffic

[sickoicko]

ANY SHOPPING MALL VIDEOS???????

[actionhank05]

thats the road from the airport. that always has a lot of traffic. he should go to libis at 3AM and film the street racing

[cjec21]

street racing at libis? I've been to QC and nobody told me about that..

[FLiPSouLJaH101]

omfg....i hate you!!!! i fuckin miss the P.I. i was there like only a couple of weeks ago and i want to go back there again and maybe of thinking going to college there too...

[johann12]

WTF....lol...a man walking in the highway

[alanpennn]

thanks for sharing! kaka-miss manila!

[bhonz]

tang ina..... i miss philippines

[canlasboy]

Usual Manila traffic. The typical type of driving and the honking. If you could smell the fumes through the computer, your in Manila.

[Zaub3r]

Wow, I haven't been back to Phils in years. That traffic is SOOOOO much better than the last time I was there. Ppl are actually staying in their lanes! Haha

[kayata123]

This manila traffic looks like a cake walk compared to cebu city traffic

[yoshio25]

the famous traffic of manila..

[queenrei34]

i remember!! it was sooo hot but then i got used to the weather a few days afterwards!! i remember all those palces :) well kinda.. lol.. alot of beeping... and children in the streets... i miss it :(

[radster96]

thanks for posting it i miss the noise and honking of so many cars and the heat !!!!

[maydom04]

r u serious?

[lilfatrb]

this is very nice

[artmonkee]

It's been a long while since I've been home. Thanks for sharing!

The only thing that would make this video complete is the smell of diesel fumes! LOL!

[maxp0w3r]

Thanks for the video. I was in manila last year. freakin hot as hell. Once I stepped out of the plane, it was like I was knowcked out. I felt dizzy. The air was wet and dry. Just like being in a jungle. Very moisty and wet. but you get use to it after 3 days or so. Miss my country. Visit the provinces of Cagayan Valley. Stop by in Apayao and I'll be more than gladly to show visitors around.

[babytigress]

not that bad lol...just WAIT till you see Edsa!!hahaha

[cjec21]

hell yeah..traffic insanity at it FINEST!! :)

[LouStools]

its like I'm actually in Manila.

this video is awesome. I remember seeing all of this when i first arrived to the PI. its funny how i still recognize alot of the buildings and roads.
