Re: phillipines, manaila, makati

chinese hv not be called the "jews of the east" for nothing bro!!...n this can be taken both as a compliment r a slur...

what i find more of interest though is that the chinese in Phils n Thailand over the centuries hv been more proactive in integrating wif the 'locals'...even to the pt of assimilation at times...u do not c this in other sea ctries like indo n malaysia...

Lucio Tan
John Gokongwei - looks chinese
Andrew Tan
blah blah blah...

maybe it's time to make friends with business partners and their lovely daughters

BTW Havana - this is at greenbelt3, which is across the road from makati shangri la. Very easy to find.
