Manila Moneyla
Manille, la capitale des Philippines, compte environ 20 millions d'habitants et attire quotidiennement des milliers de desesperes venus des quatre coins de l'archipel.
Ils viennent s'installer a Manille pour fuir des conditions de vies moyenageuses, des conditions climatiques souvent desastreuses - et parce qu'ils s'imaginent que leur vie y sera meilleure.
Un leurre, dans la plupart des cas et les difficultes a se loger sont parfois telles que certains n'hesitent pas a s'installer au milieu des morts.
Dans les annees 50, Manille etait surnommee << Manila-Moneyla >>. Apres la seconde guerre mondiale et l'occupation japonaise, tout y etait a reconstruire et beaucoup d'emplois avaient ete cree a l'occasion.

Manila Moneyla
Manila, the capital of the Philippines, has a population of about 20 million and attracts thousands of desperate people from all over the archipelago every day.
They come to Manila to escape poor living conditions, often disastrous weather conditions - and because they think their lives will be better there.
In most cases, this is a delusion, and the difficulties of finding a place to live are sometimes so great that some people do not hesitate to settle down among the dead.
In the 1950s, Manila was nicknamed <
>. After the second world war and the Japanese occupation, everything had to be rebuilt and a lot of jobs had been created for the occasion.
