Another day in Manila

Last week, I received an e-mail from a fellow named Rommel.  Rommel is a Filipino and a very nice fellow.  Here is the e-mail he sent to me:

Hi Bob,

Totally enjoying your site! I’ve worked in MNC’s over the past years and had a lot of expat bosses and ALL of them enjoyed the Philippines!

Just wanted to share a bit of music from my band, with some scenes from Metro Manila. It’s actually inspired by expats living in the Metro!

So, this morning, I wanted to share Rommel’s band’s video.  I really thought it was a great song!

Thank you, Rommel for sharing your song with us, I really enjoyed it.  Very professional and enjoyable to me.  And, thank you for your note, and for the friendship that you have obviously offered to foreigners here in the Philippines!

Side note from MindanaoBob –  Would you like to help out with this year’s LiP Christmas Giveaway?  Every year we go somewhere in Mindanao and distribute food and gifts to poor people who need it.  For the past 4 years or so, the readers of this site have helped by making donations to the Giveaway, which are used to buy food and gifts for distribution.  100% of the money donated is used to purchase these items to give to the poor, there are no administrative costs or anything like that.  If you can spare a few dollars, it would be greatly appreciated by me and certainly by those who will receive the help during Christmas.  No gift is too small or too large!  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all who are part of the LiP family!

    • Hi Peter – Nice to hear from you! Merry Christmas. Yes, I can understand how the video could make you feel homesick and miss your wife here! I hope you will be united with her soon!

  4. Wow that reminded of my recent trip to PI. I did not recognize any of those areas, but watching TFC, I get to see areas I went to, even Tagatay as well. Also I have two friends named Rommel here, both Local born Fil-Ams, that have never been to PI yet.

  5. Hi Bob, thanks for featuring us! We’re in the process of making an album and we’re finding that this track seems to be our defining sound!

    Apologies for the video being short – it’s just a sample of that track. Here’s a longer version – our producer friend made a “house remix” of the track :

    Thanks again!

    • I’m not sure, Biz Doc, I am more of a country music fan. But, I did enjoy the song, the sound is great! Now, if I could just get Rommel to come up with some Davao songs… 😉
