Alliance Francaise de Manille
http://alliance.ph
The branches of the Alliance française owe their success equally to their remarkable degree of integration into the social fabric of their host countries. In accordance with their statutes, these associations set up under local law have true autonomy and are administered by local directors. This formula, which is peculiar to the Alliance française, favors the link between the teaching and cultural programs, as is shown in the promotion of local talent or in courses being run in the language of the country.
Throughout the world the branches of the Alliance française are, to their public, symbols of unity with modern day France. In this way, the network of branches of the Alliance française give the impression of a France which is open to dialogue with all world cultures.
Alliance Française de Manille (AFM) was founded in 1920 and is one of the most prominent foreign cultural institutions in the country today. A non-profit organization committed to promoting the French language and culture, AFM encourages friendly relations between the Filipinos and the French through art and educational programs.
Its new two storey building, located at 209 Nicanor Garcia Street (formerly Reposo), Bel-Air II, Makati City gives you a whole new cultural experience, veering away from the usual hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.
With French language classes, translations, a library resource center, a French restaurant, an art gallery, weekly film screenings and cultural events, AFM offers a taste of France right in the heart of Manila.

Biodiversity Hotspots - The Philippines
http://www.biodiversityhotspots.org/xp/Hotspots/philippines/
More than 7,100 islands fall within the borders of the Philippines hotspot, identified as one of the world’s biologically richest countries. Many endemic species are confined to forest fragments that cover only 7 percent of the original extent of the hotspot. This includes over 6,000 plant species and many birds species such as the Cebu flowerpecker, the Philippine cockatoo, the Visayan wrinkled hornbill, and the enormous Philippine eagle. Amphibian endemism is also unusually high and boosts unique species like the panther flying frog.
The Philippines is also one of the most endangered areas. Historically logged for timber products, today, the forests are also being cleared for farming needs and for developments to accommodate the nations growing population.
The world's second largest archipelago country after Indonesia, the Philippines includes more than 7,100 islands covering 297,179 km² in the westernmost Pacific Ocean. The Philippines lies north of Indonesia and directly east of Vietnam. The country is one of the few nations that is, in its entirety, both a hotspot and a megadiversity country, placing it among the top priority hotspots for global conservation.
The archipelago is formed from a series of isolated fragments that have long and complex geological histories, some dating back 30-50 million years. With at least 17 active volcanoes, these islands are part of the “Ring of Fire” of the Pacific Basin. The archipelago stretches over 1,810 kilometers from north to south. Northern Luzon is only 240 kilometers from Taiwan (with which it shares some floristic affinities), and the islands off southwestern Palawan are only 40 kilometers from Malaysian Borneo. The island of Palawan, which is separated from Borneo by a channel some 145 meters deep, has floristic affinities with both the Philippines and Borneo in the Sundaland Hotspot, and strong faunal affinities with the Sunda Shelf.
Hundreds of years ago, most of the Philippine islands were covered in rain forest. The bulk of the country was blanketed by lowland rainforests dominated by towering dipterocarps (Dipterocarpaceae), prized for their beautiful and straight hardwood. At higher elevations, the lowland forests are replaced by montane and mossy forests that consist mostly of smaller trees and vegetation. Small regions of seasonal forest, mixed forest and savanna, and pine-dominated cloud forest covered the remaining land area.

Emilie Simon in Manila
I was supposed to be with Alain and Bert that night, unfortunately, something sad happened to Alain's mom in Belgium, so he couldn't come. Anyway it was a nice time to meet with some friends. The concert was short but sweet, and got to hang out with the band, the people from Alliance Francaise and the French Embassy afterwards...
