A WESTERNER LOOKS AT THE PHILIPPINES - Arthur W Docken - June 1974

Arthur W Docken

Few foreigners have grown to appreciate this island nation as much as the former Manila office manager of the Plain Truth. Here is his personal message to all our readers worldwide. The oppressive tropical heat slowly diminishes when the sun plunges below the horizon of the South China Sea in a blaze of golden splendor. The scene has made the sunsets of Manila famous. A myriad of lights from giant neon signs to the flickering candles of roadside vendors bring the city to life again. And the Filipinos take to the streets and parks to enjoy the refreshing cool of evening. Laughter and happy, friendly chatter fill the air. Children play with excited squeals of delight. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
