I have a lot of experience with Pinoys in the U.S. and cruise ships, went to Manila one time, no plans on going back. Very good report, agree with everything.
I'll add that you will see some very ugly circumcisions, as most are not done at birth, but between 8-12 yrs old.
Someone in Thailand once asked me when I asked him how Manila is....."why do gays keep searching for the pot of gold, when they already know where it is?" Thailand, Brasil, Bali and Mexico are my pots of gold, lol
