MANILA, Philippines—Officials say the cast and crew of the Hollywood action thriller “The Bourne Legacy” have arrived and will start shooting a portion of the film in the Philippine capital on Wednesday.

The fourth of the blockbuster “Bourne” series based on the spy novels of Robert Ludlum will be shot around the Philippines for a month. It stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton but not Matt Damon, the star of first three “Bourne” films.

Francis Tolentino, head of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, said Tuesday he is fielding 120 crowd control personnel to assist traffic enforcers during the first day of shooting in Manila’s Malate tourist district.

President Benigno Aquino III’s spokesman Edwin Lacierda says the movie will boost tourism and provide jobs.

“the movie will boost tourism AND PROVIDE JOBS” – while indirectly and remotely yes, that doesn’t fit the sentence

It’s a good break for PH’s tourism. Once and for all, it’s another way of boosting our beautiful spots in the world’s spotlight.

tapos nito, magrereklamo na naman ang mga tao at pulitiko na siniraan tayo dahil sinabing marumi at maraming kakalat-kalat na pulubi sa maynila. wait for the tweets after the shootings.

this is the true picture and i don’t know why we get mad at people telling us what they see. dumaan ka sa quezon blvd and you’ll see from right after getting out of the underpass, nakakalat ang mga basura. hanggang sa quezon bridge yun at swerte kung wala kang makitang tao na pumupupu sa may tulay.

Sana naman po ay isinama nila si Pres. Pinoy dahil magaling s’ya sa baril. Gusto ko po ay magiging hitman s’ya at meyroon s’yang love scene with Rachel Weicz. Kaso Lang Baka magustuhan Nya yung love scene nila ni Pres. Pinoy at idespatsa na Nya yung bago nyang asawa. Kawawa naman.

Onetime, I asked a foreign tourist how he compares Manila with Bangkok Thailand. He told me that it is almost the same. That the problem with the Philippines in Manila is garbage. You see it everywhere, he said. He said in Bangkok, it’s very clean. This is the reason that a lot of westerners come and reside in Thailand.
