I was about to post something similar. I may record it and send it to Shei.
It's a programme called "Explore: From Manila to Mindanao". I just watched the last episode when he was in Turkey. The main presenter, Simon Reeve, has a refreshing style. While walking through a Kurdish area with a former mayor, followed by lots of kids he said "Bloody hell, there's little hands going into my pockets... the little scamps".
I am disappointed I missed this series, but have Sky Plussed for next week. I think it will open people's eyes to a country seldom featured. Remember, the Philippines is the third largest English speaking nation in the world, and all most of us know is Manila and Marcos.
