If you live or travel in Binondo, one thing is certain, it’s overcrowded and full of tall buildings. But not only that, it has the ugliest landscape in all of Metro Manila.

Why? Electric post! No place else has this much electric post in their city. It’s in every corner! It’s not just one electric post, it’s 2 or more each corner.

It was raining the whole week I was in Manila. As usual, once it rains, we get floods and potholes everywhere. What else is new?

Normally, when I drive in Manila. I’m cursing all the time because of the traffic and the potholes. Instead, I resolved not to do that this time and just take photos as a way to vent out my frustrations.

Here are some photos I took.

In connection with the notification that all employment-based visas had been allocated for FY2009, Charles Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Control and Reporting Division Visa Services Office, provided the following background explaining how the Department of State allocates visas through its Immigrant Visa Allocation Management System (IVAMS):

USCIS submits requests for visa authorizations if all required case processing has been completed (e.g., interview [if required], all clearances received, etc.). Therefore, once the authorization has been granted the case would be adjusted immediately, and could be forwarded to the “green card” processing facility. If the case is not within the established cut-off date the request goes into our “pending” demand file, which also contains the demand which has been received from our overseas posts. That demand is then used as the basis for the establishment of future cut-off dates.

When a USCIS authorization is made from the “pending” demand file an e-mail message is sent to a single address which each CIS Office has provided to the Immigrant Control and Reporting Division. The first page(s) of the message provides a summary listing of the A-numbers which have been authorized, and the following pages contain an individual authorization page for each A-number. That listing would be the same type as received if the case had been authorized when the USCIS Officer had originally submitted the request. Such authorizations are assumed to have been processed to conclusion during the month of authorization. If not, USCIS must notify VO that the case was not processed, the case record would then be deleted, and the case would be resubmitted to VO once the reasons for the deletion have been resolved.

If the Officer believes that a case should have been authorized, but has not received such notification, the program which is used to submit requests has a feature for checking on the status of individual A-numbers.

The authorizations from the “pending” demand file are sent to a central address to ensure that they are seen by someone should the officer who originally requested the case not be there (e.g., reassigned, on leave, etc.). If authorization is immediately available at the time of request the response would be send to the requesting officer, not the central address.

I was in Manila last week and I was driving along, the car in front of me (I think it was a Pajero) turned left to enter the driveway to his building. As he was turning, a man in a motorcycle went straight and the Pajero hit the guy in the motorcycle.

See how clean and orderly Manila was in the 1930s. Even with Calesas, there’s no horse manure on the street. The Calesa drivers even wear nice clothes!

Did you see how clean it is? It was better than Singapore at that time.
