My Pearly Postcard Collection

The Pearl of the Orient Sea, that's my country of birth, The Philippines. Undoubtedly, it refers to its naturally beautiful landscape be it sea, mountain, or land; where natural resources are most bountiful. It has rich soil, ample minerals and oils, forestry, the environment, and the peoples's rare characteristics traits that make the Filipinos proud of their heritage amid the contrasts and oppression from all kinds of foreign invaders that continually destroy the country.

I dedicated this blog to my native land through my personal collections and those that were sent by family and friends.

Hope you will enjoy what you see here.

Mabuhay!
