My sister has just returned home to England after a 3 week holiday in China, Hong Kong, Manila and Palawan.
She absolutely LOVES the Philippines and she (and my 18 yr. old nephew) are already saving their cash to return for Christmas.
......Thats more English people you have managed to convert with your hospitality, smiling faces and beautiful country.
I am proud to call Philippines my home. Salamat po.

Where do you stay in Palawan? We're planning to spend our summer there - maybe in San Vicente.

Nice big bike you have in your avatar.

Our home is in Puerto Princesa. I haven't been up to San Vicente yet but it looks beautiful.
It's on my list.

The bike was the last love of my life. Honda VFR750 in Rothmans race colours. Sadly had to leave it behind in England.
I'm looking for a replacement 'toy' now.

thanks. i believe this is true as well, imo it is maily because most Filipinos tend to face their problems with a smile. like for example, where else in the world would you find a family stuck in the roof of their house because of high floods and when the rescue helicopter arrives with a media coverage on it, they wave at the camera with smiles reaching from ear to ear.

I absolutely agree. It's a pity more people/races/countries don't face their problems or differences with a smile.
Incidentally, how's the Forester. I'm seriously thinking of buying one and have an appointment to view the car in Manila on Wednesday (the 2.0X version). Any problems or dislikes with yours? Fuel economy for example!

Salamat po.

no matter what other people say, either good or bad about it, it is the driver's opinion that matters. what i like about it is that it has so much grip and more than enough power, i believe that you can never go wrong with a subaru.

fuel consumption? well i also believe that as long as you can afford any vehicle, i don't see any reason why you can't afford gas for it. if i'm lucky enough (how i wish) i want to complete the line up of subaru, the outback, legacy and b9 tribeca

Magandang umaga po Ginoong Fozzie Bear,

Malugod po naming kayong tinatanggap dito sa aming lupang sinilangan.

Sana po ay ganap kayong magalak dito sa aming munting bansang tinatawag na Pilipinas...
