Coming To Manila, The Prologue

Let me start off by saying that I grew up in the Philippines. I lived there from the time I was born on April 6, 1976, till my family moved to New York City on March 29, 1989.

So for almost 13 years, I lived in Manila. The first time I came back to visit the Philippines after we moved was in June of 1994. The second time I came back to visit was 3 weeks ago, from November 11th to November 25th. 13 long years passed between my trips back there; it's crazy to think that the time between my visits to the Philippines is equal to the time I lived and grew up there!

So here now is the blog, complete with some pictures, of my trip to Manila, Bacolod, Iloilo and Boracay, paraphrased from the journal I kept while I was there, with some additional editorial and thoughts in retrospect.

Hope you enjoy it.
