Tagalog people or Manileños are the most well mannered ethnic group in the Philippines. sadly nasira ang imahe ng mga Manileños dahil sa mga probinsyanong naging informal settlers noon sa manila na ang kinabuhayan ay mang snatch, magnakaw at gumawa ng krimen.

It became worst when Marcos allowed Muslims to resettle in Manila, especially during the civil war in Mindanao, which until now never stops and are still isolated cases of kidnapping. And in the early 60s when there was an influx of people came coming from many provinces and resettle in Manila, ending up as informal settlers.

[@GaryHField]

The Tagalog people are really posh and elegant, even the poor have manners. Everything changed when different ethnicities Mish mashed and formed the Manila that we see today.

[@desgner_droz8716]

@@GaryHFieldit has nothing to do with ethnicity. Manila crumbled because of failed urbanization policies and centralization. 20th century Manila was designed almost like an American holiday resort, not an urban center, it's not an old world city like Tokyo or Paris etc. This is where the "Philippines shouldn't have been independent" sentiments stemed, even from Rizal who wanted to remain a part of Spain. We wanted and still need the hindsight of older colonial empires. This is mostly conjecture but our infrastructure is almost entirely shaped by colonial powers even in relations to our neighbors in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, that makes the urbanization of the Philippines a uniquely challenging one on top of its geographical challenges, it has nothing to do with ethnicity.

All my fellow kababayans in the comments with a colonial mentality glorifying and romanticizing colonialism! Galing mo ha g! You’re a part of the problem.
