SNIFF

Over the shoulder of some other passenger in the shuttle, I caught a glimpse of a headline in the tabloid he was reading. It said something like:

METRO MANILA BAKA BUMAHO

For a quick, headline-ish translation:

FOUL-SMELLING FUTURE FEARED FOR METRO

or

EXPERTS THINK METRO WILL STINK

Anyway.

Seeing the headline made me wonder.

What is Metro Manila supposed to smell like now?

And, since the time people thought it was a good idea to build huts along the banks of the Pasig River, did it ever actually smell good?

Comments:
I used to live by that river.

Man, I remember that morning breeze, when I walk to school.

Kumakalembang sa ilong!
