Lamitan, Basilan

One of the most shocking events that the Philippines had in the opening of the new century was the Lamitan Siege. It was a story of a rescue operation gone wrong amid shocking allegations of corruption between government officials and rebel-kidnappers.

Basilan

Basilan is considered one of the most dangerous places in the Philippines. Beyond it's dangerous facade lies an unexplored wonder. Join my escapade there but don't tell my Mom I went to Basilan.

She's Always a Woman To Me

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

@ Tiendesitas, Pasig City

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Decades ago, this place has nothing but tall grasses and military huts. Now, its a sprawling community that can rival the best of Makati.
