Beautiful Philippines

"Subsequent Spanish settlers, and the Americans who came centuries later, were awed by the beauty of the Philippines. The archipelago, one of nature's glories, is indeed a brilliant tapestry of land, sea and sky, fields, forests, mountains, wildlife and peoples--all so dazzling and diverse as to seem unreal." --Stanley Karnow "In Our Image"

This page is dedicated, but not exclusive, to the beautiful and talented people with Filipino ancestry living all over the world. If you are someone who had visited or lived in the Philippines, wishing to visit, married to or friends with Filipinos, I thank you for checking out this page and welcome you as a friend.

The objectives of this page are to present the talent and beauty of Filipinos who are living in all parts of the globe and also, to show the world that the natural beauty of our country is the epitome of "paradise."

As Spain's only former colony in the Asian continent, The Philippines is known as the "Latin heart of Asia." While the Filipino people are known as the Italians of Asia; passionate, very hospitable, love of music and singing, very affectionate, love of romance, emotional because we wear our hearts on our sleeves and last but not least, our temper. ;)

This page, hopefully, attracts people who's never been to the Philippines so they can see and experience our charm, our allure, our charisma, our fascination, our affability and our joviality. Moreover, I hope that the photos will entice Filipinos living abroad and non-Filipinos to come visit, explore and discover the countless spellbinding attractions of our country.

With the Philippines having over 7,100 islands, I would like to exhibit the breath-taking natural beauty of our beloved motherland; the stunning and unspoiled beaches with their inviting clear waters and enchanting tranquility, brilliant sunrises, majestic sunsets and incredible underwater sea life. Hopefully, the photos will inspire Filipinos and other people from the world over to do their part in preserving not only our country's beauty but our planet's natural wonders as well.

With over 60 different dialects spoken in our country, I would like to showcase our distinct and unique cultures, the world-famous friendliness, easy-going attitude and openness of our people, our ingenuity and creativity, our people's great accomplishments, our love for food and social gatherings, celebrations and festivals, our natural talents, our fondness for singing, dancing and music, our passion for living and, last but not least, the beauty and charm of our people.
