Browsing through some Philippine VT pages, I noticed that women NOT typical of the ordinary Pinay or Filipina are presented as enticements for the male traveler to visit the Philippines. I propose to show what the typical Pinay really is - not just a pretty face, but a woman of substance equal or maybe even better than her counterparts elsewhere. I renamed my Babes of Manila travelogue to "Babes of the Philippines" because they are not just here in Manila, they're everywhere! The typical "babe" I know is beautiful, brainy, a fine friend, a loyal partner, a great mom or an exciting single (well, the moms are equally exciting), independent, fun, a lot of other superlatives that escapes me at the moment, and most definitely not the cheap variety depicted by others. Check out the Babes of the Philippines travelogue for yourself, and see the difference. I'm proud to know these ladies.

I've seen a calesa stand on its rear end once because of overloading. This one doesn't come close to that.

San Agustin inside the walls of Intramuros is the oldest church in the Philippines. Built in the 1600s, it has survived earthquakes, wars, and typhoons - with some renovation works of course.

Be ready for that Kodak moment, when a shy seminarian might present a contemplative pose - don't even think! just click away!

Then, this museum is the perfect place to find them. In paintings, statues, murals - and all of them old.

Great pictures and tips. Well done, cabalen! | kuuan Tue Apr 3, 2007 19:24 UTC
It only has been a few days but from my first impressions in the Philippines I VERY much agree with what you say. Somewhere around here I read even the most dedicated bachelor may change his mind here, I have the feeling it also could happen to me. | Jim_Eliason Tue Feb 28, 2006 03:25 UTC
great tips, can't wait till my visit in March | DJ_Rolo Tue Sep 20, 2005 06:09 UTC
