Filipinos renew their love affair with Britain
Manila experienced something of a British invasion last month when the Princess Royal and pop stars Ed Sheeran and One Direction all visited.
Her Royal Highness’s visit was in support of Save the Children’s work across the Philippines, and many here were eager to see her.

"...on a balder note" I too often get mistaken for Jason Statham.
I'm happy to consider it an upgrade from being likened to Bruce Willis who, despite being younger than me, is considerably older than Jason Statham who is only 47

Just like the writer of the article, the one thing I too dearly miss from England is the beautiful countryside and grand architecture.
We were longstanding members of The National Trust and took full advantage and enjoyment of that during our time in UK.
I can highly recommend that as a great way to understand more about UK environment, history and culture in a most enjoyable way.

Just a shame most Filipinos think Britain is part of America....if they've heard of it at all.

Many times in the 1990's pinoys asked me which part of america was London once there was an influx of pinay nurses into the UK and the general populance realised the pound sterling £ has a higher exchange rate than the USD $ they had a remarkable improvement in their geographical knowledge
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
