This review is from: This Is the Philippines (Hardcover)

I have never seen such outstanding color photography about the country where my parents and I were born. Its nice to know that there are writers/photographers who capture the beauty of a country such as the Philippines. My hats off to Nigel Hicks and his wonderful work. His book is definitely worth its gold!
