WOW Philippines!

Pinoy hospitality. Just about everyone gets a hearty "Kain
tayo!" invitation to break bread with whoever has food to share, no
matter how skimpy or austere it is.

KUYA, ATE, SANGKO, DITSE, MANANG, MANONG, ADING, etc... different dialects but conveys one principle: Respect for older and younger siblings

Corregidor Island

An aerial view of Corregidor Island, of Cavite, Philippines. This is
taken from approximately 2,000 ft, from the southeast of the island.

In the background is the Bataan peninsula (where i live ).
The small island near Corregidor(the tadpole shaped island) is Caballo
Island, also fortified during the second world war. Corregidor island
and the Bataan peninsula was a major battlefield during the early
months of the second world war -- in the Pacific.

The seas surrounding the islands is Manila Bay, Philippines.

The first picture is the Caballo Island. I enjoyed my trip in that island when I was in the Philippines. We also entered Malinta Tunnel at night. We tried to ghost hunt but we never saw one.
