..."Never have I visited a place with so many naked contrasts. In some way, I am not very sure the Philippinos see themselves as Asians. I always have the impression that this is a nation that see themselves culturally Western but geographically Asian. So much attention is drawn towards a western way of life. It's cuisine is a mixture of Chinese-Malay-American-Spanish influences. People decides their political believes early and stick to it vehemenously. So much way-of-life liberalism exists in a country proud of its religious conservatism. They have rules but do not abide by it. Frustratingly confusing yet enigmatically amusing!"...
