CNN International reporter Richard Quest was left puzzled by the tangled web of wires hanging from posts in Metro Manila.

Taking to Instagram, Quest shared a video of himself on a street in Mandaluyong City, where he expressed his amazement at the chaotic overhead cables.

"Every time I see this, I just wonder how on earth does this work?" he said while pointing at the dense cluster of wires.

Despite the seemingly disorganized state of the infrastructure, he acknowledged that things still function.

"But since the lights stay on and the internet's working, this all must make sense to somebody," he remarked.

Quest went on to compare the sight to a massive serving of pasta. "Like one big bowl of spaghetti," he described, before questioning how anyone would be able to pinpoint a single faulty wire.

"Quite extraordinary how it all works. But it works!" he added.

Concerns over tangled and dangling cables are not new in the Philippines. In May 2024, Bulacan Representative Salvador Pleyto Sr. proposed a bill aimed at clearing streets of these hazardous wires to prevent accidents.

Meanwhile, Quest is currently in the country to film a documentary at the Masungi Georeserve in Rizal, a protected area known for its lush forests and conservation efforts.

His visit has drawn attention not only to the Philippines' natural wonders but also to its unique urban infrastructure.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable just about with everyone.

In a previous report by KAMI, a guest in a camping site in Rizal called the Rainbow 89 Ecopark Camping & Trekking was struck in the face by a male employee of the place. The said guest, Dawn Cuenzo, was reportedly heartbroken and stressed in life that's why he went to the camp site to release all of it once and for all. However, he was confronted and asked to leave by one of the employees of the site when he was heard cursing.

In another viral local report, a suitcase containing a dead body of a minor girl was found floating on a river in San Jose, Del Monte, Bulacan. According to a report by Bea Pinlac in GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' residents of the area have been complaining about the foul odor coming from it. When police authorities came to inspect what was inside the suitcase, they found a bloated body of a minor girl. According to the police, the body was in fetal position, clothes were intact, but wounds were found on her body.
