port of Ozamis in Mindanao as seen arriving from Mukas – I did 5 boat crossings on that trip – Leyte, Mindanao, Negros, and Cebu and back to Leyte. The Philippines is a group of over 7,000 islands so getting around by boat is necessary in many cases.

hey dp why don’t you put a like link of your website on facebook, i had probably made a hundred likes by this time. You can also make few bucks thru advertisement thru your site.
Hi Alex – I don’t spend too much time with the computer now days. Some people put facebook links of their own in the comment section – seems to work ok. Thanks for the ideas !

DP – just a thought – could you provide a dateline at the beginning of each article/rss? Then we could follow the chronology much easier.
Thanks for the entertaining and very useful website.
Phil
not a bad idea !
…there is a publish date at the end of each article (on the bottom)
it might be a good idea to put one at the beginning as well – thanks
