MANILA -- Stretches of Metro Manila roads with absolutely no vehicles: this was the rare sight shown in a video that is currently making the rounds online.
In the 90-second video titled "Empty Metro Manila Timelapse: The Pacquiao Effect," several roads in Quezon City, Makati, Pasig and Manila, among others, are seen completely without moving vehicles.
The video, which was uploaded Tuesday by user Project Box, already had over 28,000 views as of writing.
According to the description of the clip, the footage were shot during the match between Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and American Brandon Rios in Macau last Sunday.
In a behind-the-scenes snippet shown at the end of the video, the crew is seen shooting the roads with several traveling vehicles.
Comments on the video noted that the effect of the roads appearing to be empty can be achieved through a video editing software and timelapse photography.
Others described the sights shown in the video as "amazing," but doubted that the roads were ever empty even as Pacquiao's fight last Sunday had many Filipinos tuned in.
