The Aquino administration has really pulled out all stops to create a lasting impression of a great Metro Manila and Philippines for dignitaries attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference (APEC).

Why, they probably could not move as fast in their respective countries! Whoever described traffic in Manila as hellish must be completely blind or just hate Aquino very much. Traffic is very smooth. They do not see any bumper-to-bumper traffic, contrary to descriptions made by the incurable critics of the Aquino administration. Why, they might even consider the Metro Manila traffic the best in the world!
