Manila

Manila is a vibrant mix of new and old, rich and poor. I consider the sprawling Filipino capital "Asia Light" due to the widespread use of English started during the American colonial period and Catholicism, the most lasting legacy of 4 centuries of Spanish domination.

Hi Brian! Suggest if you could take some shots of Baguio City, Boracay, Vigan, Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Palawan, Cebu, Davao, Zamboanga, Mayon Volcano in Albay, Banaue Rice Terraces, Kalaw Cave, Hundred Islands in Pangasinan. For sure you may appreciate nature as you soar over the beaty of my homeland - Philippines! Mabuhay!

Just want to say thanks for sharing these nice pictures, really appreciate it. I was born in raised in the Philippines, but didn't got the chance to see the beauty that my country has to offer, and just looking at these pictures made me realized that my country has so much to offer. It just so sad that so many people take them for granted.

Hi Brian... I thank you for posting all these pics... I remember my youth days when I was in Manila studying in a university. Right now I am living in Toronto, Canada. Actually, I am searching and browsing some photos of airplanes, then there was a link about this page so I looked on it. You're a nice and an amazing man. With your permission I wanna use some pics for my power presentation about the Philippines. I am going to present it on June 12, that's Philippine Independence day. We are going to celebrate it here in Toronto. Thanks and more power. The Lord bless and keep you always. Mabuhay!

Hello Brian. WOW! Beautiful pictures of my homeland. I am now an Oral English Professor here in of the big universities in China and I used your beautiful pictures to show the Chinese students how beautiful my country is as depicted by a foreigner. Thanks for your pictures. It helped me a lot. May you take some pictures of the other places like Bacolod City and Cebu City too. MORE POWER TO YOU!

Chona		17-Mar-2007 02:21
Thank you for showing off Manila, the Chinatown, Intramuros, etc. It takes me back the 30 years of my young life as a student at Lyceum and part of the fun I've had was roaming around Intramuros and Luneta (when me and my friends would skip classes.) Woww what a wonderful thing to remember. Thank you again.

This one's a classic. I even fell for it when I was younger and more foolish than I am now - the logic seemed so solid! Obviously, if afflictions were cured, doctors would be out of business -- and so on. From that conspiracy-theory nuttery. WBR LeoP

Hi Brian! Just to echo everyone's sentiments that these are great pictures of the Philippines. I am a Filipino living in Canada and seeing your pictures made me miss my home country very much. Thank you for these gorgeous pictures. I also want to use your pictures for my son's cultural heritage sharing in school. Hope this is ok.

I am a Filipino living in Jakarta. I would like to inform you that I am using your photos for an English conversation that we are conducting for high school teachers. Thanks a lot for the great pictures.

Guest		13-Sep-2006 18:46
Great pictures that brought back wonderful memories of living in the Subic area from 85/88. Although it has been many years since I was last in the Philippines, I think of it often from the spectacular scenery, the delightful people. I still have many crafts that I brought back and treasure them. I think of the Philippines and the secret of the Far East, those of us who are fortunate to have spent time there will know what I mean.

Heather Burnside		12-Sep-2006 07:04
Hi Brian What brilliant photographs of the Philippines. I lived there from 1998-2000. I am now a mature age student studying tourism management and I would like to show these photos to my fellow students in a destinations class, as a power point presentation. May I have your permission?

oliver		11-Aug-2006 01:19

in love with EPS		19-Dec-2005 05:46
amazing photos! very good. i love them. you did good on showing different areas of manila and i enjoyed looking through them!

Blossoms		16-Nov-2005 04:51
great shots! i love how you've captured the simple details of Manila and projected them into beautiful sights, and to think we take them for granted on a daily basis... Do visit our country again, this time check out the beautiful beaches (Bohol, Cebu, Boracay, Davao or Palawan)and I'm sure you'll be hooked...Cheers!

holly, we always go to Portland,Oregon my son plays tennis there at Tualatin hills,

Holly Patterson		13-Oct-2005 04:43
My husband as been in the Philippines on business for the last 10 months off and on. It now looks like we will be moving there for at least a couple of years. Your website excites me! I am looking forward to exploring the country. I have traveled a great deal in Asia, just haven't hit the Philippines yet. My husband has fallen in love with it though. Scuba diving, golf, and just the beauty of the country. He especially enjoys the people. Should be quite the contrast to Oregon USA.

Hi! I would like to ask for your permission to use some of your pictures for a powerpoint I'm making. I belong to an organization called CISV, which has programs that introduce children to the concept of world peace. Delegations from around the world join each other in various camps happening simultaneously in over 20 countries every year. I'll be leaving for India this December and would like to show them images of the Philippines. I found your pics and they are exactly what i had in mind. :-) Would that be alright?

Justine		19-Jul-2004 13:19
Wow! Seeing this Gallery made me missed my homeland. You really travelled a lot. Oh I envy you. :) I love the pictures.

Hi, was just looking around for Minolta S414 pics and was surprised to find Philippine (where I'm located) pictures since the model is not marketed locally. I had to buy it online. Looks like you have travelled a lot. Nice pictures:)
