I treated some foreign friends to a city tour of Manila and I contacted this company which I researched over the internet.  I sent them without trying it out myself first, so I wanted to see how it was and this is how it went 🙂  They picked us up in Ascott hotel in Glorietta.  

I love the JEEPNEY!! We should have more of these around the city!!  This company owns three

It’s air-conditioned and is very decent but of course it runs like a jeep 🙂  with the shake, rattle and rolls 🙂

They have videoke for those who like to sing 🙂  not me 🙂

Signed by Jessica Sanchez who rode this Jeepney 🙂  Apparently you can rent this jeepney for private functions or tours.  They have 3 of these going around the city.  Private individuals and Government officials hire the jeepneys to entertain foreign guests. 

I took the half day Intramuros Tour.

We stopped by some landmarks before getting to Intramuros.  Our version of the London Eye 🙂  by MOA Manila Bay 

It was raining that morning.  Folk Arts Theater

We have flags!!!! In Roxas Boulevard!! How do they remove it all if it’s raining? But anyway, I love this!!  We should be proud….. UNCONDITIONALLY

Cultural Center of the Philippines

More flags at Luneta Park

Manila Cathedral

Our tour guide 🙂  I have some of my personal comments about the tour but I ill share them directly with the operators.  There are some points to improve on and I want foreigners to love our country and see the beauty we have to offer and there is many

It was so nice to meet some lovely Filipina ladies in London.  I admire these ladies because I personally think that you have to be very strong and be really independent to move away from your comfort zone and live far from home to be with your spouse.  They each have their stories to tell and believe me they are really really very strong women.    It was a pleasure to meet them and  enjoyed being with all of these beautiful ladies.  I wish we had more time

I am so glad they all posed for me with my special request to include their handbags 🙂  TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCE? 🙂  I heard the ladies joking among themselves  – that meaning Genuine or Copy ? 🙂 

Cha Completo Turner- Very British with a Burberry bag  

I was so happy to know that Cha is a regular reader of Heart2Heart.  Thank you Cha.  Cha is married to a British gentleman and has one son. She’s a very good source of places to go to in London, so I will be asking her a lot of tips on my next trip back there     

Fled Huab with a Moschino bag.  Very practical because she said its easier to clean with the charol/patent leather fabric

So so nice this lady! She is apparently the daughter of my high school teacher Mrs. Huab! And she is also the cousin of my good friend, Arlene!  Fled used to live in Hong Kong when she married a German gentleman and from HK, they moved to London in 2005.  She has two very intelligent sons studying at Winchester College and Eton 🙂  This lady is amazing and I am so happy to have met her and I learned a lot from her from just one evening  

 Meg Nolasco Brewer with a Chanel bag.  TRUTH!!! 🙂  

Mitos Ocaba Foster- Tods

Very tall and pretty and married to a very successful British man but accredits his success because of her!  haha!! I love it!  🙂  I did not get to talk much with Mitos but in the little that she said, she is also one tough lady and I am happy that we have strong women like her 

We were talking about her children – she has a son and a daughter and they were telling me about her daughter who is just as pretty as her Mom with modelling potentials but was advised to finish her studies first 🙂  Sharing this photo from Darcy! 🙂  

James’ Cebuana cousin Marichelle Veloso Waring  A very good friend of our friend, Rina.

And my very elegant friend, Rina – Prada- Always TRUTH! 🙂  

She’s not married to a Brit but to a Pinoy 🙂  And they have been living in London for 20 years

And of course Darcy – with the Prada bag of Rina haha!! 🙂  

She is not married yet

but she has her “sweet caramel” 🙂 which I met through her phone 🙂
