A Letter to the Old Philippines

December 2nd, 2009 · Tangential

A shot of Roxas Boulevard and Manila Bay, circa 1960 (via) Pearl of the Orient, where did you go? I never got to know you. No more pristine blue waters. No more uncongested roads. No more litter-free surroundings. No more unobstructed blue skies. No more dignified politicians. Lesser artists which are truly admirable. Lesser people [...]
