As bro Mayor alluded to, it's all fiction.
A lot of fuss especially from tourism and local authorities, but talking to some locals, they will tell you that some of the stuff that is written about manila is true. If anything, they find it amusing.
It is dirty, polluted and some places are hotbeds of seediness. Of course, everyone knows that already.

The issue, is, in my 2 cents view, Filipinos don't like outsiders criticising their stuff, even though they know it is true
Like, a recent article that called Filipinos are stupid for not only electing Binay's daughter, but also giving a leg up for Bong Bong to be the next president, by keeping the family in power and even Imelda being 'forgiven' ..
Well, that didn't go well with the natives
And I guess same goes for any country, who would like a foreigner to criticise your country ? Though, in PH, they are in the limelight due to their simple mindedness and forgiving nature ..
So .. my 2 cents ? let the locals do their own bashing, we keep our noses clean
