“I believe that wherever you will go here in the Philippines, it’s not the islandsthat make us special but of course the Filipinos who have warm hospitality, who are having smiles on their faces, and of course who will treat all foreigners the love and respect, and hospitality that they can give to them. I believe that the Philippines is a country that we can be proud of,” Rehman answered.
