Abstract: Abstract Opposite to Seoul, Manila is a failure. It has problems with all six factors. First, the national development strategies have not been clear and consistent; thus, Manila has not been prioritized to promote the national economic development. Second, its budget is very modest. It is only several percent to the GDP. Third, the city’s focuses have been more on short-term issues instead of strategic issues with clear development visions. Fourth, the public entrepreneurship in Manila has not been strong and continuous. Fifth, the role of urban planning is modest. Finally, Manila is a typical case of a fragmented government in which there has been a lack of collaboration and coordination among governments.
