But the feeling of awe and pride about it is always fresh. I'm proud of the Philippines... now I hope the authorities and most importantly the citizens themselves wake up and realize it can't be like that forever. So no to corruption, to irresponsible garbage disposal, to over-modernization and structure building in tourist sites!!! To Ivan, thanks for sharing and Mabuhay!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-36712837444678500362007-02-26T00:45:00.000+08:002007-02-26T00:45:00.000+08:00Could it be OFWs missing home, and doing a search ...Could it be OFWs missing home, and doing a search on Yahoo?-= dave =-https://www.blogger.com/profile/07836619852171963155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-45686009810157707962007-02-21T02:43:00.000+08:002007-02-21T02:43:00.000+08:00[...] This may be a little late, but thanks to Iva...[...] This may be a little late, but thanks to Ivan, the Pinoy in me was awaken.

Philippines is a tourist dream. Philippines is a merge of tranquil nature escapes for ecologist, trekkers and sun lovers as well as endless nightlife and shopping sensation for the not so outdoor types. Entrepreneurs are steadily visiting Philippines for raw materials and ideas for export and import business. The technology market is also rising in the Philippines which bring steady flow of small business owners. Business is good in Philippines these past few years and this steady rise in market and tourism is surely adding luster to our little Pearl of The Orient.
