i watch one the other night about a ex mafia guy going over to the phils and walking around talking to the gangs and then went to the prison to see the main man, rubbish it was really and even Ems said why do they show the bad side of the phils when there is more good sides:smile:

[grahamw48]

Oh well, let's see what other people think...once they've had the chance to view it for themselves. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Amazing programme. Fascinating and scary. :cwm24:

1200 murders a year in Manila.

Also has the biggest prison in the WORLD, with 20,000 inmates...mostly run by them (gangs) too, including murdering each other to keep the 'peace'.

Would have liked to have seen that too.

[grahamw48]

I'm sure it'll be repeated Jamie. :smile:

That jail is just across the street from where we live in Manila! :biggrin: My mom used to warn us everytime we are going to pass that area. We used to buy cooked foods in the street near the prison and my mom always tells us not to go there often as that area is dangerous.

I'm sure it'll be repeated Jamie. :smile:
Hopefully uploaded to YouTube as I don't have Discovery! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

I was having a look for it on youtube for you earlier...as I've only got Discovery for 1 month while Virgin try to tempt me into upgrading back to the package I used to have.

No chance...but good try ! :laugher:

[Ako Si Jamie]

I had a look too but couldn't find anything.

Actually, I think I do have one Discovery channel come to think of it :doh

[grahamw48]

Says it's a new series on Discovery, so maybe not on youtube yet.

It'll be on again....well worth seeing. :)

Of course the reason I downgraded my cable package originally, was because I was so sick of paying for endless repeats across multiple channels.
It's just as bad on ch4 and 5 now. :icon_rolleyes:

[Ako Si Jamie]

What with the technology available today, there is no need to repeat programmes a zillion times.

I don't blame you for downgrading! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
