Every year, during the Christmas season, we are given the chance to thank those people who have made our lives brighter.

Looking back, we remember the first time we thought of Manila Reviews. It was when a friend tweeted that she wanted to go abroad to find a better life. With each post, we want to prove that this is not true. The Philippines can also give each of us a unique and fulfilling lifestyle. It has been a great year for Manila Reviews with more and more new readers and supporters each day. We have all of you to thank for making us one of the top Lifestyle sites in the country.
