Ivan Henares's blog (www.ivanhenares. blogspot.com) is one blog that truly deserves to get more traffic. Ivan's blog is a travel and heritage journal (the blog's title is "Ivan About Town") as it documents his many sojourns across the country and other parts of the world. I do not know Ivan personally so I do not know if he is as frisky; but in a way, he is like the local Ian Wright of Lonely Planet sans the television camera. Ian has television, Ivan has the blogosphere. Ivan goes to places and shares the experiences in his blog; he even gives details such as how much a jeepney ride from this point to that point, or how much lodging or dinner costs in
this or that place.

But Ivan's main advocacy is preservation of Philippine heritage. And this is what makes his blog truly worth supporting. His current advocacy is preservation of old churches, which are systematically being demolished to give way to some local parish priests' demented attempt to establish their "legacy" in their parishes. The extent to which such aspirations of greatness translate into destroying centuries-old churches is already
alarming.

Cathay Pacific Airlines (My personal choice, due to the excellent service provided). If you fly Cathay Pacific you will transfer in Hong Kong. I always enjoy my visit to Hong Kong International Airport. There is a huge mall right in the airport with all sorts of different shops, a nice place to buy jewelry or t-shirts.

Korean Air (Another good choice, good service and a little bit cheaper). If you choose Korean Air the ticket was for me about $200.00 USD cheaper than Cathay Pacific, The service is also comparable to Cathy Pacific. You transfer in Soul Korea which is another great airport comparable to Hong Kong International.
