Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Manila accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Manila and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"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," commented one expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.
