Just look at friends working at NGOs, Jesuit Volunteers, doctors in government hospitals, teachers like you... people who just do what they are supposed to do rather than engaging in political conflicts which is a waste of time. They may not have a huge impact to the economy but these unsung heroes are doing a lot in helping our country.<br/><br/>I am absolutely for that Manila Movement you are planning... basta anything I discover whether it be a food find... quaint stores... reliable fortune tellers (hehehe)... parks... I will write it down and share them and hopefully people will better appreciate Manila when they read those stories. Search the place with a fine-tooth comb. Cheers cuz!

People are so starstrucked with places overseas like Thailand, the US, Paris, Canada, Australia.. wherever... people who might have already been to the Louvre, Library of Congress, the Smithosonian or Times Square but not Rizal Park, or our National Museum, partying at Malate... or the new Ayala Museum. It may not be as spectacular but that is who we are... Filipino by blood and we should be proud of our heritage... because we cannot change that even with a stamp on our Filipino passport as immigrant to wherever country.
