I've always been with my whole family for about 2-3 weeks. It would be good for me to go by myself and discover a bit more of the country and about myself. I guess I see at as kind of a rite of passage in a way. It's a country of extreme wealth and poor living side by side, it has beautiful beaches and landscapes but also crowded cities. I feel although England is my home, the Philippines is also an important part of me and I need to go. Mark Bridger
