Indonesia - Philippines Youth Cultural Exchange Program

Jleeb Eventually -> went back to Indonesia on  July 17, 2012 After spent a precious experience in Manila, Quezon City, and Laguna. A great moment in Philippines (The Jose Rizal's Country). I left Jakarta on sunday night, July 8, by Cebu Pacific Airlines. There, in Ninoy Aquino Airport, Manila, Gia picked us up from the airport to dormitory in Ateneo de Manila University located in Quezon City. "Yeyeyeyyyyy" was Gia's tagline whom I always remember :D because she often yelled it in any occasion xixixixixi.

This was what we did in Manila, we arrived and left Manila through Ninoy Aquino International Airport, according to filipino, Ninoy was a name to be dedicated for a politician in Philippines

    I am glad befriended me. :)

    Regarding some about this post, Ninoy Aquino was the husband of late President Corazon Aquino - our first female president. He was a senator and was slain in the airport's tarmac and the airport was named in his honor.

    Mall of Asia is 3rd largest shopping mall in Asia and the 4th (Ref. Forbes' World's 10 Largest Shopping Malls) largest shopping mall in the world.
