For students in Manila, the strip on Recto is a one-stop shop for term papers and end-of-year assignments.
“I once went to Recto with five other classmates and we paid to get term papers,” said Cecilia Rohas, a former student at Polytechnic University of the Philippines. “I needed 30 pages, double spaced, on the Philippines revolutionary movement under the Spanish and, sure enough, I got 30 pages, double-spaced, all with a bibliography at the back.
“I was too busy studying for the end-of-year exams to do the term paper. Everybody does it,” says Ms Rohas.
