In this photo taken by Johair Siscar Addang, we are treated to a rare sight: a smog-free horizon featuring Metro Manila’s skyline with the Sierra Madre Mountain Range in the background.

According to Addang, he took the photos from the roof deck of a condo in Pasig at 5:19 p.m. on March 23 just before sunset.

As seen in the photos, the atmosphere has cleared itself of smog, just a week after the implementation of community quarantine in Metro Manila.Seen in the photos are parts of Taytay, Antipolo, and Cainta, which share borders with Pasig.
