Arrival

After an exhausting trip we finally arrived in Metro Manila! A very crowded city full of American influances such as fastfood chains, malls and billbords. The next day we had our first meeting with Neneng and Guyi who are working for the PRRM (Philippines Rural Reconstruction Movement). They gave us a very warm welcome with a tipical organic Philippine meal , and we gathered some useful information not only for our research, but also about the Philippines and some practical stuff. After that we explored the city a bit by going with a jeepney ( national symbool of the Philippines). The day after we visited the UP (University of the Philippines)located in Quezon city. Again the campus was very American by design. We had found already on the internet some books we wanted te look into. We managed to find them, but they were a bit outdated. Currently we are heading to Cavite City. We will meet up there with Neneng tomorrow again to join her and her team on a trip trough the Cavite area.
