The Philippines are currently a hot placegoing through a rough and tough time, more or less like other places in this crazy world. Nevertheless Carrot Bombing keeps on hosting the MOS and brings artists from all over Asia and half of the world together to bring more colours into this world.
Manila is the capital and second largest city of the Philippines. It is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay, is the second most populous city in the Philippines, behind Quezon City and and has a total population of 1.6 mill in 2010 census.
It is one of the sixteen cities which, along with the municipality of Pateros, make up Metro Manila, the National Capital Region, whose overall population is around 12 million.
As you can see the spot has a lot of wallspace with big and nice walls.
The populace inhabit an area of only 38.55 square kilometres (14.88 sq mi), making Manila the most densely populated city in the world.

It is a busy area with traffic moving snail paced, as expected most days in Manila where it is not uncommon for a 2-hour journey to travel just a few km.
