Yesterday, I tried to see the A venue at Makati Avenue, near Kalayaan , where we had the Food Trip early this year. Unfortunately it is gone. What used to be tiangge site is back to its original purpose - a parking lot.
However I had the opportunity to take pictures of the now imposing skyline of Makati (it is even more imposing). I walked and I had my camera, and the lighting was perfect.
Oh how proud we should be of the 7.8% GDP growth of the PHL, vs the 2+% of US of A. And while our country coasts along to this growth, US is experiencing 1. a shutdown for the 13th day 2. and a possible default on its debt, a downgrade, increase in interest rate, destruction of the world financial system that may drag the rest of Asian economies to an abyss.
Let us enjoy the pictures of our progress. It is a karma. If you watch "Amigo" at Cinema 1 (cable TV) you will feel terrible on how the Americans treated the Filipinos during the Filipino American war at the turn of century. This is a vindication. While there is hopelessness and poverty spreading in their country, in the PHL this what we see.
