I have seen threads on specific regions. I don't know if there is a post similar to this but anyway, I am just curious where is everybody from. Post the city, state, or country you are coming from.

I probably should have reworded my question. My apologies for the confusion. Let's put it this way,
- where are you now?
- if you migrated outside the phils, where are u originally from?
Hope this clear things out. THanks for posting everyone!

Ohhh....so where in the Philippines was the question.
Well, I was born in Olongapo, my mom came from San Roque and my dad was from a place called Orion in Bataan. I didn't spend long enough there to be really from one particular place though.
Preppy....what are you studying/which uni?

I was conceived somewhere in Phils. islands, born in a Hospital in Quezon city and enjoyed most of my childhood in Bo. Palanan, Makati. Then, lived my teen-age years in D.C.
(capitol of Negros Or capital?) and wanted to travel the rest of my life,but eventually settled (when the worse crisis hit the country, pre-Erap days) in Cebu city, Central Visayas. Next to MMla, it's my Home!!

LFO, I'm in the MBA program at Goizueta in Atlanta. My sister is also a consultant and has an engagement here. So far, I have not run into another true-blue Filipino in Atlanta since August.
I'd offer to take you around, but you've probably had a better look at this city than I have. If your engagement here is extended, we should have some beers or coffee in the Highlands.
May Angels smile upon you,
