I was stuck in traffic for more than an hour along EDSA Taft Avenue this afternoon going to Manila. So when boredom strike, I got my phone and listen to radio and fell asleep in like 30 minutes. When I woke up, I saw a lot of people, not just a lot but a devastating crowd who were like looking at something. That's when I realized that there was a shooting at the footbridge of EDSA. There came in a text from a friend saying that she was there and trying her best to go through the crowd just to see Rachel Weisz who was shooting a scene by jumping off the bridge. Well, that explains how traffic got that bad, although it's not surprising at all since Manila traffic is a normal thing now. Lol! I can't wait to see Bourne Legacy on the big screen already!

Wow, I have never slept that long in a public transport! You should have somebody with you otherwise it is very risky to do that About Bourne Legacy, yeah, I have heard it from the news as well plus I also have officemates who complain about the traffic I hope the foreigners find our country beautiful. We don't want another Claire Danes who said that Philippines is a cockroach country, remember that? If not, then you are probably too young to know that news. But it was a very long time ago, I was elementary then.. Can't wait to see the movie too!

In Gods grace, in my whole life of traveling to and from Manila, I sleep really well and have not experienced anything harmful. Thanks for the concern!

Me too but not that excited because I heard of something really annoying that this movie used Philippines as a place to where terrorists nest. I really have to see this for myself by watching.

You slept for half an hour???? What were you riding???? Air conditioned bus? I have known about this even before they started shooting. It was all over the news. I wanted to take a look of the shooting but the sites are far from where I am. I wanted to see the actor who would take Matt Damon's role. And I wanted to see how they managed in the busy and congested streets of Manila! I even heard they shot some scenes at the Navotas Fish Port, and we have an office there! Well, anyway, I'm excited to see the new Bourne Legacy, too in the big screen!

i remember back when it was announced Bourne Legacy will be shot here, i kinda thought "i'll get to see Matt Damon in person". it was only when they started shooting that i found out matt damon was actually not part of Legacy..

I was so sad when the news said that Matt Damon is not starring the movie. Oh I love him I this movie. He just fit right I the character. I just hope that the one who replaced him will justify the character.

Wow! that's a long sleep, i wonder what's the story of that movie that they chose to shoot here in the Philippines. A lot of people are talking about it and i could not wait to watch the movie. I cannot imagine that lots of people are affected by the traffic here in Manila while they are shooting that movie in the busy streets of the Metro. I hope they can finish filming it soon.

Oh I hope it's not true that they chose filming some scenes here as a terrorist country. I'd have to watch this movie to know if it's true.

I'm so envious to those who were able to see their shooting. Sadly, I can only watch it on the television. I think if Bourne Legacy will be aired we Filipinos are going to watch this movie.
