Manila

Manila Central Post Office - Designed by Juan M. Arellano.  It was built in neoclassical architecture in 1926.  It was severely damaged in World War II and rebuilt in 1946 preserving most of its original design.  This is the place to pick up local mails and stuffs from the United States sent by relatives.

Fort Bonifacio  Global City   For some reason, my tatay was more impressed with these buildings than buildings in Chicago and Manhattan.

Eastwood City

Cultural Center

Ayala Triangle  Symphony of Lights  Makati

Fantasy World   Lemery  Batangas

Iloilo International Hotel (circa 1920s - 1930s?)

Plazuela Iloilo  Iloilo City

Actor Lucas Neff thinks Philippines is an untapped spot.  He is best known to television viewers as Jimmy Chance, the young dad on the FOX series "Raising Hope."  In an interview, he said, "The Philippines are gorgeous.  Heartbreaking and poverty-stricken in places.  But you'll see true untouched virgin islands, and the people are lovely.  Nothing like sea urchins fresh from the ocean."

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPH OF PRESIDENT AND MRS. GEORGE BUSH:
Through their lives we experience the world's most monumental events, from World War II through the collapse of Communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall.  Mrs. Barbara Bush's courageous crusade against illiteracy made this problem one of national importance.  Also because of their work, they have never sought personal glory, but rather they've strived to help others, share freedom and strengthen the world.

*********************************

The handsome Governor Jeb Bush of the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation has formally invited and authorized me to be included on the special George H. W. Bush Leadership Honor Roll.  It's to be permanently located at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

Bryan College Station Poster

The Leadership Honor Roll was created in honor of the 20th anniversary of the presidency of George H. W. Bush as a lasting tribute to the President's extraordinary lifelong leadership.  [If you remember it was under his administration that the Berlin Wall fell into dust among other things and consequences.]
It's a special recognition for those who are helping President Bush and the library to provide current and future leaders from across America and around the world with lessons in patriotism and public service.
Really and truly, I appreciate very much in being thought of, invited and nominated by Governor Jeb with other Americans.
It's an honor and  I do simply accept!
