Manila: the Blade Runner city

IMDB says that Blade Runner was filmed in Warner Brothers' Burbank Studios in California. But I think they are wrong. The cast and crew must have been secretly transported to Manila in the Philippines - they could have easily filmed it there right out in the open! Check it out for yourself:

I am endlessly fascinated by the complexity of the Philippine wiring. Just in like in Rome one can discover the progression of civilization by careful analysis of the layers of detritus under city streets, in Manila one can do the same with the wiring.
