Hi Angel and Philippe! Fellow Filipina here born in Makati

now living in Pennsylvania. Everyone - I love all of your wonderful postings (so fresh and informative - especially for an unfashionable stay-home mom like me who wears mostly sweats and jeans). Altho I was a bit dismayed to see pics of that villain, Imelda Marcos

I enjoyed reading that and all other posts! Keep writing everyone! -Elaine
p.s. I read somewhere that when Marcos was overthrown and government officials interrogated his wife Imelda about all of her expensive 1,000 shoes in her closet/room, she came up with the excuse: "Oh, they're not all mine...the maids keep their shoes in here, too." Ha! We all know the maids wear chinellas (rubber flip flops) and NOT designer shoes!
