Sharing pictures of my lovely country, the Philippines, a tiny archipelago of 7,107 islands. We are descendants of the Malay race, colonized by the Chinese, Spanish, Dutch, Americans, British, and Japanese to name a few. I have to admit, I am a tourist in my own country, however, I do not consider that as a hindrance to share the beauty of these islands I call HOME. Happy viewing!

I have found these pictures on the web and would want to thank the owners for giving me a chance to share them in my blog. Their watermarks have remained intact.
Mabuhay, Pilipinas!

ReplyDeleteI have a very good friend who is from the Philippeans, she sells some of the hand made jewelry and give her profits to the families who make them.
ReplyDeleteThe Philippines is where Manny Pacquaio is from. In other words, it must be a pretty bad ass place. :D
ReplyDeletehaha! Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire are Filipinos. Eric Spoelstra, Nicole Scherzinger, Vanessa Hudgens, Enrique Iglesias, Batista (the wrestler), Lou Diamond Philippines, Rob Schneider, Hailee Steinfeld, Bruno Mars, Cheryl Burke.. are all part Filipinos. There are still others and the list goes on and on and on... :)
