CNN International's Richard Quest bewildered, in awe of entangled cables in Metro Manila posts
CNN International anchor Richard Quest was perplexed by the sight of tangled cables of Metro Manila's posts.
In an Instagram upload on Feb. 26, Quest shared a video of him in an unnamed street in the capital during the afternoon.
"Every time I see this, I just wonder how on earth does this work?" he said before pointing at the posts as the camera pans at them.
"But since the lights stay on and the internet's working, this all must make sense to somebody."
Another shot gave a closer look at the cables exhibiting order and chaos at the same time.
"Look at these cables," Quest said, as animations of question marks appear on the screen.
"Thousands of them intertwined like one big bowl of spaghetti."
"Amongst all this spaghetti, what on earth do you do when you have to find one wire that's gone wrong?" he said.
"Quite extraordinary how it all works," he added, before giving a Gallic shrug. "But it works!"
Quest is in the Philippines to shoot a documentary about Masungi Georeserve in Rizal. It will be released in April.
Famous for its lush and scenic green landscapes and cool climate, the sanctuary has been under threat from mining, logging, and illegal developments, suffering deforestation in the '90s.
Last Feb. 20, the Masungi Georeserve Foundation shared photos of Quest and his team with actor-singer Markki Stroem traversing the Discovery Trail.
