I visited the Philippines once and had a great time. The cuisine was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. Additionally, I went to “Corregidor Island” and the historic part of “Intramuros in Manila” , which was fascinating, particularly for anyone interested in WWII history. Without a doubt, I hope to return someday.
Boots on the Ground

This is a BBC article from yesterday that looks into the origin of the phrase “boots on the ground” (as a synonym for the deployment of combat troops). Surprisingly, it’s a recent coinage dating back just 34 years, even though the word “boot” by itself has had military overtones for much longer.
