This isn’t exactly the news we would be proud of.
Manila
has been recently adjudged as the third most stressful city in the world, only
behind Mumbai in India and Lagos in Nigeria, according to VAAY, a company based
in Berlin that sells cosmetic products and health supplements using cannabidiol
(CBD) and hemp.
According to VAAY its ranking is based on a study it did involving several
criteria grouped into four categories — governance, city quality, finance, and
health.

In its chart, every city is rated from 1 to 100 according to each criterion, with the highest score being 100:
Governance
·
safety and security
·
socio-political stability
·
gender equality
·
minority equality
City
quality
·
population density
·
traffic congestion
·
weather
·
air pollution
·
noise pollution
·
light pollution
Finance
·
unemployment rate
·
financial stress
·
social security
Health
·
mental health
·
access to healthcare
·
COVID-19 response stress impact
Manila
scored some good points in the following criteria:
·
light pollution – 88.2
·
mental health status – 94.9
·
the COVID-19 response stress impact –
85.6
However,
these high scores were pulled down by bad results in the following categories:
·
traffic congestion – 3.3
·
unemployment rate – 8.8
·
noise pollution – 13.6
·
weather – 14.2
Manila
did not get a score in the following categories:
·
socio-political stability – 38.1
·
financial stress – 49.3
·
access to healthcare – 42.4
All
in all, Manila got an average score of 29.4 — ranked 98th among 100 cities —
which is definitely higher than Mumbai, which got the worst score of 1.00.
As compared to its Asean counterparts, Manila is way farther for example, Jakarta
was in the 92nd place with a score of 41.8, Bangkok in 87th with a score of
50.0, Kuala Lumpur in 76th with a score of 59.4, and Hanoi in 70th with a
score of 63.7.
Singapore
is the highest-ranked ASEAN member-state in the list, scoring 80.8 that put it
in 33rd place.
According to VAAY, it started doing the study on its observation
that people do live in stressful times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the
lockdowns that left people either on their own, without jobs and money, or in
unstable mental conditions.
“There’s
no doubting that we live in stressful times, dealing with circumstances that
are often beyond our control, yet when we think about the sources of our daily
stress it’s easy to focus on things that are small and fleeting. Likewise,
while we consider the significance of the daily pandemic news cycle, we can
lose sight of the ever-present elements that surround us and impact our
everyday lives,” VAAY said.
“With
this question in mind, we carried out some research to determine the most and
least stressful cities in the world, based on structural and environmental
factors that are often ubiquitous, but sometimes overlooked, and can contribute
to a person’s overall level of stress. The result is an index of 100 major
global cities comprising over 15 factors, each ranked on a scale from most to
least stressful,” it added.
Reykjavik
in Iceland topped the list. It was followed by the following cities, which were
mostly located in Europe:
·
Bern, Switzerland – 96.6
·
Helsinki, Finland – 95.0
·
Wellington, New Zealand – 95.0
·
Melbourne, Australia – 94.2
·
Oslo, Norway – 94.2
·
Copenhagen, Denmark – 92.6
·
Innsbruck, Austria – 92.2
·
Hannover, Germany – 92.0
·
Graz, Austria – 90.0
