they do it on purpose. they want brits to travel to pass over the PH and visit their former colonies and allies instead: malaysia, singapore, thailand and bali. brits who travel here do it from word of mouth. not once have i seen a BBC show report from Bonifacio global city=BGC, which is the ultramodern tourist, expat, business and lifestyle center of metro manila. they just report from Tondo, which is the hood. its like doing a travel show on London but skipping over central london and instead going to the worst council estates and run down areas and saying that it equals London and the entire UK. its not fair to the image of the country. also, i'm gay but i'm not the old style 'bakla' type. in fact most millennial and genz gay filipino men are intistinguishable from straight filipino men. these traditional 'bakla' crossdressers are dying out as the world learns that one's sexuality doesn't equal how one clothes themselves, how you talk, or what your personality is.
