Hi Manuel - I am a British born guy based in Manila.
My fashion designer Filipina friend showed me your inspiring and magic eye -thank you!I would like to ask how is your progress with your wish for a'coffee'table' book?
I spent 5 years doing a coffee book about the Philippines titled "Combing the Coral Carpet" and self-published with the help of sponsors.
If you need an assistant I can offer my experience and energy...let me know.
Go well and stay well Bruce Curran
ps I am a bit of a traveller myself having been to 16 countries by motorbike, 5 continents by sail boat but love the Philippines the most - as you say genuine smiles everywhere....hope to hear from you.
