Manila has excellent pedestrian infrastructure, but you have to go very slowly along the sidewalk if you are wide. Some people literally live on the sidewalk, sleeping in reclining chairs next to their wares. Everyone has a right to their body space in PH, even in the Divisoria market. It was my first time moving in a hyper-crowded public space. There are complete jams on the street, with everything at a standstill, then it frees up again and you trudge forward at a snail's pace behind the bumper of a tricycle.
