Luxury

A small portion of the lovely shopping and dining promenade that is Bonifacio High Street, looking towards the exclusive condominiums of Serendra, in the fast-developing Bonifacio Global City. BGC is located in the city of Taguig and used to be the home of the Philippine Army, known then as Fort Bonifacio, named after Andres Bonifacio, one of the leaders of the Philippine revolution against Spanish colonial rule in the late 19th century.

Bonifacio High Street and Serendra
I just discovered today that My Manila was listed as one of 20 Awesome Photography Blogs - Manila, Philippines in ILovePhotoblogs. How cool is that? Of course, when I saw the fantastic photography in the other sites, I felt like a poor relation. So far, there are lists for 15 cities from all over the world. If you look at them, I'm sure you'll recognize some of our CDP blogger friends! And if you have favorite photoblogs, you can tell Rick about them by leaving a comment.

    Hi Hilda, thanks for your comment. The heraldic signs are interesting indeed. The creature you are refering about stands for a lot. Too much for a comment, but it originated in the Byzantium -East Roman Empire in 300 AD? What it exactly means I don't know, but you also see it in the Russian Royal emblem. When Constantinopel fell they saw themselves as the reightfull heirs of Orthodoxie. There are many European heraldic signs with the double headed eagle. Also because it refers to Kings and Emporars being appointed by God, and thus can't be questioned. It also has something to do with the Coronation of Kings and Queens. A crown is worn by Catholic and Orthodox royals, a Protestant royal will not because they don't follow that particular idea. Also they must give account for their actions. There is much more to tell, but I will leave this for you to discover... :)

    Regards from Marcel

    This does look like a very nice place. Love the green grass and the palms. I bet they don't let you walk on the grass though!

    Congrats on being part of the I love photo blogs. I'm going to take a look, but I doubt Jackson will get any mention. I don't mind being a poor relation though. :)

    Thank you very much, guys and gals. But it's not an award — it's really just a list made by a photographer. But it's thrilling nonetheless.:)
