More Makati Pictures, by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard

It occurred to me that some people don't understand that Makati is a city that is part of Metro Manila. The name, Makati, means "place full of tides" or ebbing tide."  Here are two links about Makati, Link 1, and Link 2.

I took a few more Makati pictures.

The top one is a picture of Ayala Avenue and in the background is the sculpture depicting President Ninoy Aquino's assassination in 1981 at the Manila International Airport. 

 This security guard has a serious assault weapon. I asked permission to take his picture, and like the guards the other day, he also posed for me.

Inside the Glorietta Mall annex

 My friend Guia Lim and I had dim sum in the Shangrila Hotel and we had a great time catching up.
