Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Manila accepting of differences?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Manila and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Manila. The city is home to a variety of ethnicities, religions, and cultures, making it a vibrant and diverse place to live. People in Manila are generally accepting of differences, and the city is known for its tolerance and inclusivity," remarked another expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.

"No, they are not diverse, but yes, they are accepting. Although very Catholic on the surface, often it is "do as we say, not as we do". Gays and other minority groups do not seem to be unduly persecuted as far as I can see," explained one expat living in Manila, Philippines.
