I have a deep love of the Philippines, its kind people and the amazing beaches. My wife is from the rural mountains in the northern part of the country, and my son was born in Metro Manila.

As the sun sets on the Philippines, my wife and son relax with the rippling waves at Coral Beach, Batangas Province.

Palm trees nearly dip their toes into the Pacific Ocean at Matabungkay in the Philippines.

Despite trying to wriggle free, my son undergoes his baptism at a Methodist church in Manila, the Philippines.
