Hi Gents,

I will be in Makati in February, staying near P. Burgos Street. I only have a few days in town, but I plan to make the most of them. I will gladly post a FR of my experiences. Someone...

Free2, great report from the Bogtong area of Legazpi City -- many thanks! Do you remember the name of the girl who was a bit chubby and had a 2-year-old? I think I might have seen her a few months...
