Efter visse udfordringer med at få lov til at komme med flyet fra Dubai, er jeg nu ankommet til Manila i Filippinerne.
Og det er noget af en hektisk storby, jeg er landet i. Tag med til Chinatown, i den hektiske trafik og med ud i et slumkvarter, hvor jeg hjælper med at blande cement til nogle huse, som organisationen Gawad Kalinga er ved at bygge. Huse, der kan blive stående, selv når de mange tyfoner rammer landet. En af dem er i øvrigt på vej netop nu.
