The Philippines is where Asia wears a smile. Beautiful products can only be made by happy people.
The Reagans were dear friends for many years, even when he was governor of California. Nancy appreciated a lot of Philippine-made things.

We practically own everything in the Philippines.
Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.
