Philippino Beauty

When asked to provide the name of a picturesque locale, the Philippines is seldom the initial response.

While I freely admit that the nation's capital, Manila, filled with decaying buildings left over from the Marcos regime encircled by slums is not exactly picturesque, beauty can be found in the lapping waters in Manila Bay and the cheerful (if slightly gaudy) Jeepneys.

But it is away from this metropolis that the country really shines. In the rugged provincial towns and minuscule white sands islands.

Still not convinced? Take a peak at some of the pristine shots I collected on a past visit.
