I knew it and I have seen it coming. But it came only on the day that Batang Pinoy Ako* was conceived.
It was because of those frequent solitary trips to Manila, which the project required, that I found my new subject of deep passion and interest.
Learning more about the city is a journey of self-discovery. Manila is the heart and soul of every Filipino. Filipinos do not have to travel far to find themselves. The answers are all in this city.
And so I make an announcement: I am creating a new blog. It will be a blog of all my travels--because just like everyone else, I dream of seeing the world and immersing myself in culture. But it will all start with the one which is closest but yet unexplored: the Philippine capital, Manila City.
* Batang Pinoy Ako is a cultural tour which we are organizing for the indigent children of Baseco, Tondo.
