Philippine's Infrastructure Pushed To The Brink As Population Reaches 100 Million

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - AUGUST 11: Indigent mothers tend to new born infants at a government run hospital ward on August 11, 2014 in Manila, Philippines. The Philippines has one of the fastest growing populations in Southeast Asia with around 100 million people. At least 12 million people live in the capital city of Manila alone, making it one of the most densely populated and largest cities in the world. Lack of space and economic opportunities has pushed around four million people to live informally along waterways, bridges and even cemeteries further straining the already weak infrastructure and straining the resources of the city. The rapid increase of the population has also exacerbated the threat to the city, which has already seen record levels of flooding in recent years. (Photo by Dondi Tawatao/Getty Images)
