Thus just in, FNites! TIME magazine released a report ranking cities around the world based on selfies, and--surprise, surprise--the Philippines emerged as number one.

According to the article, both Makati and Pasig has the most number of selfies in the entire world, with 258 selfie-takers per 100,000 people. Manhattan, New York, came in second with 202 selfie-takers per 100,000 people, while Miami, Florida had 155 selfie-takers per 100,000 people.
