I think you're going a little bit too hard on the denial. I get you've lived there and seen your share of things, but that stuff IS more present.

I do appreciate that you don't want to let these things dissuade others from traveling there, but honestly, I would have benefitted greatly from hearing that warning before visiting Manila.
