Jim, after talking with a good friend that spent 25 years on flattops and also spent a lot of time there, I imagine you have a few stories to tell about Po City hmmmm.:D

Some blades from the Philippines. There will be an upcoming article in Tactical Knives on the good blades I found. Here are some I used and got to handle while there. Enjoy!

As far as I can tell, the only trouble areas in the Philippines are in the south, far from Banaue or Bohol.

What struck me the most was how incredibly friendly everyone is. I didn't spend much time in Manila (and didn't really care for what I saw there), but once you in the provinces the people are so friendly. I never felt in any way that there was a safety issue, even though most of the people I encountered (primarily in my wife's home area around Dagupan) were incredibly poor by American standards, and I was frequently out at night. The Philippines tourism board had a slogan - Philippines, where Asia wears a smile - that I agree with wholeheartedly.

With such a warm and friendly people, beautiful countryside, and fantastic food, I would recommend a visit to anyone.

I look at those pictures and say "thats just so cool" over and over. Thats a part of the world I'll probably never see but will always want to. Thanks for sharing the pictures, those chocolate hills I have never heard of before but they look beautiful and theres something very unique about them. I greatly enjoy the pictures of the rise field terraces and just thinking about how they are made.
 
I always love your pics Rueben!

I have been wondering where you have been... Glad your back safe bro!
 
You have a wonderful gift at capturing people and their character Bear. Great shots and thanks for sharing your trip!
