Amidst the constant bad international and the domestic press, there is a Philippines that people sometimes hear of- away from the exagerrated political squabbles (which is normal everywhere) - the Philippines being an underrated tourism and economic destination.
Culturally, linguistically and historically closer to Europe and the United States than any other country in Asia; with a population who are truly multilingual and highly educated; a more tolerant and truly multicultural population; and natural resources that can rival that of the Amazon for its biodiversity; truly the Philippines is a wealth of wonders.
The Philippines is more than Imelda Marcos' 3000 pairs of designer shoes - we are a string of 7,107 beautiful islands that can put the islands of Thailand and other more renowned destinations to shame.
As the strength of the Philippines lies not in its obvious natural beauty but the warmth and hospitality of its people unrivaled nowhere else. Just last March I arranged an international meeting in Manila - and it was such a pleasure to hear from our guests as far as Europe, South and Central America, Africa, Central Asia and many others, that so far, in its several years of meetings, they have not been welcomed in such a very warm and friendly manner like the Manila meetings.
So in celebration of things Filipino. Here are the good news. :)
