Make Manila Liveable is a combination of journalism pieces, crowdsourcing on liveability and quality of life, on-ground and virtual events to amplify stories and raise awareness, and meetings with government officials and experts.

We’re looking at 2025, when we elect a new set of local and national officials. We’re starting with Metro Manila, the capital region bogged down by traffic, pollution, and a patchwork of confusing urban policies. If this initiative is successful, we hope to see this replicated in other cities.

Join us, and our call to #MakeManilaLiveable.
