The trip back to the P.I. was an incredible experience. I developed this blog not only for myself, but for my friends and family. I fully engaged in the incredible culture and ate a shitload of Filipino dishes. Here's my blog of the P.I., and I hope you enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;from left to right - Manong Arvin, J-Unit, Manang Iris, Pangging, and Jim Boy.&lt;br /&gt;The pic above was my first Philippines bar experience.
