The Philippines! Kamusta. Where are you? Been to Zamboanga, Isabella (on Basilan Island) and Manila (Makati) for work. Isabella is a rough town, and Zamboanga wasn't much better, but the Basilan Strait was very pretty. Got my drink spiked in a bar in Makati - woke up 12 hours later in my hotel room, wallet intact, kidneys intact, no idea how I got there. Lots of guns everywhere, especially Zamboanga, where everyone had them strapped to their calves: a bank manager I interviewed walked me back to the office I was working from in case I got kidnapped. Cheery people though, on par with Thai people. I dated my dentist a few years back - she was half Filipina.
