If filipinos who say they don't know these places, its either they weren't born in MANILA or never been there, and never had the chance to go to Manila.
And when I say MANILA...I mean the old and historic MANILA.
Not Tondo, not Caloocan, Mandaluyong or whatever part of the GREATER MANILA AREA you were born and raised.
I was born in MANILA and I grew up and spent my childhood in that AREA. From 1976 to 2005, I've seen how the area changed.
These photos are called still-life...its the "real" scenario which foreigners and tourists see in MANILA. Photos of these types are the ones that gets bought and praised by other people in other parts of the planet.
What you want people to know about our country? the malls? the nighlife, the tourist spots?
What is issue of embarrassment of this photos? What negative aspects does the photos depicted hereon?
The OP is a photographer...and he's good at it. Instead of congratulating the person for his skills in capturing great shots, people would rather see the BAD SIDES and instill "negativity". And we filipinos say we love our own...yet we cant seem to give support to a pinoy's effort and love of his craft?
REALLY????
Ok...Posting it on FILEXPAT group is also a good idea but wont reach a greater audience like in the QL main forum.
QLERS will post good and bad about it...so what??
THIS is my opinion of the matter...DON'T LIKE IT BITE ME!!
