Thanks for visiting the thread too.

@leestat: Yes, the Americans do give donations to the country but they do not account for most of the income of the Philippines.

@myx: Nice Airport Interchange pics!

Based on what I read on the news (internet), your country is rich, but your politicians are crooks. Sorry.

As a fifth-gen Fil-American, I am so proud to see the progress that's evident in the pics selected for this thread. I wonder what my great-grandparents would think if they were alive to see these images of Makati and Ortigas which had been cogonal and bukid back when they left their homeland in 1908. Keep those pics coming, Philippine SSCers!

hear hear!!!

My god, this is so beautiful. Everything in Manila is so impressing despite being a relatively developing city. I mean, what more could it be once it becomes fully developed place in the future. For a relatively poor country, the Philippines really is amazing and impressing with all its wealth and secrets.

leestat_d_vamp · October 6th, 2006, 03:32 AM

It's true. I don't know why alma-ata can't be like Manila

Thunderflip · October 8th, 2006, 07:35 AM

What is alma-mata? Do you mean Almaty, Kazakhstan?
