Makati Shangri-La

I've spent about the past two years being fairly nomadic traveling through Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and a bunch of other countries in Southeast Asia, of which I must say that the Philippines is my number one choice for travel adventure. There is no better place. From the people to the landscapes, it has everything you're looking for.
