Manila Philippines!

My native land, a place once I called home. Philippines, considered as third world country category but it sure has lot of things to offer that money cannot buy. People are hospitable, resfectful and loving. though some I wouldnt trust myself!
there are some places in manila that most people or tourist had'nt heard! the untouched natural beauty of some places almost exotic can be overwhelming! Its worth checking it out :)

You should stay at home or don't go anywhere without your mother. What you said is prejudice; those prejudices you wrote only happens to idiots and could happen anywhere in the world.
