NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Ever since I went to school in Hawaii as a young man I have been enamored with the flora of the Tropics!! I feel like a little bit of heaven is looking back at me when I see the ever present beautiful plants and flowers of the South Pacific. Even though we are in the Metro Manila area we still see some real beauty here.  We want to  give you some idea of the true beauties to be found here.  So---we have attached a few photos for your pleasure!

  3. This looks like a beautiful country. I can't get over the difference in the upscale areas and the poorer sections. Glad you're enjoying your mission.
