Over the years I have been fortunate enough to meet many Canadian Filipinos, and as well having traveled a great number of times to the Philippines. As a photographer I have learned to greatly appreciate and enjoy the wonderful Filipino-Canadian connections, as well as the stunning beauty of both countries.

The bonds between Canada and the Philippines continue to grow year by year, and we dedicate this site to the Filipino/Canadian communities extending across both countries.

We also hope in the future to add another section for those Filipinos living abroad in other countries as well, watch for this expansion in the coming future.

In particular we dedicate this site to the millions who struggle in their daily lives simply, to put food on their tables. The victims of an international lack of will to end the exploitation of the Philippines as a source of cheap labor and insuring the wealthy stay and get wealthier, while the rest of the world looks on but does nothing about it.

The Philippines is one of the most beautiful tropical countries on the planet, however the majority of those living there struggle, just to stay alive, and any effort to fix their government most often results in their execution by those in power. There are few of us who have spent time in the Philippines, and not shed tears for what we witnessed during our visit there.

To the credit of all Filipinos, foreigners often comment, that the Philippines still remains, the most hospitable country on earth.

Those living abroad today are a testament to the "Great Escape" of hope to find peace and security abroad, that alludes them in the Philippines.

The next time you hear the term "Third World Country" know that it means "The Exploited" and the next time you hear the term "Aid for Third World Nations" Know that it really means "The Perpetrators".  Although it may not be exactly accurate, its much closer to the real truth. Those countries who claim to be giving the most are in reality taking the most from the Filipino's poorest people.

If we don't speak up for the abuse in the Philippines, who will? Everyone can play a role in insuring the equality and security of mankind globally, but only if we dare speak up and defend justice, starting by defending the truth to those we communicate with in our daily lives.


On a more positive note we also maintain that the biodiversity of the Philippines is truly impressive in global terms. This is certainly true of overall diversity, but especially so as regards endemism. In absolute numbers, its endemic species in groups like plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, butterflies are comparable to and often exceed the much larger mega-diversity countries. The Philippines harbors about 8,000+ species of flowering plants distributed in about 1,600 genera and 191 families. There are more than 6,490 species of non-flowering plants (i.e. algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, etc.) and combined with vascular plants the total number of plants is about 14,490+species! Of this number, between 30% to 40% are said to be endemic to the country and nowhere else found. "LET US LOVE AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES" for our children's sake, if not our own.
