About time. For some reason the Philippines have been snubbed by these magazines for a very long time.

Maggie, you look tipsy in your avatar...

you know the thing about eating lechon in a very dark-lit, noise-infested venue hall? i should have wiped my face with a napkin before posing for the camera.

yep, Palau and Tahiti... No offense but why did they pick a shot of skunk anemone fish for Palau???

:rofl2: i don't think that can ever be taken as offensive... that just shows how the pics must have looked so good...

It's a great shot, but when I think Palau... I think sharks on blue corner, mantas at german channel, etc... not anemonefish...

an anemonefish is not common in Palau... (of course no scientific data to back up my statement).

That's because they have very few advertisers from the Philippines--as one editor once said to me...why should we feature articles from the Philippines? no one advertises from there. We will support those who support us....
