Not exactly tasteful billboards, they mushroom along major thoroughfares of the city. From the plane, you will see one long line of these billboards. In fact, there was a movement on controlling them for destroying the landscape of the city.

Above are pictures of billboards we have here in Manila. This one is located in a major intersection along the C-5 road.

Could have been Jersey instead of Manila... One long line of billboards stretching out next to the highways visable from the plane? *shudder*

Plenty of English billboards, it does look like Jersey, if it weren't for a few 'exotic' brands.
