Metro Manila - the City of the Filipinos that Never Sleeps

They say that, like the big New York City, “the city never sleeps”. Well, that applies to Philippine cities too. In the eyes and ears of a businessman, this looks and sounds so true. Just think of shops like 7-11, Mini Stop, and Mercury Drugs – these are some of the stores here in the Philippines that attends to the Filipino needs day and night.
