This is the Philippines

From the perspective of a foreign exchange student Gregoire ThiƩbault of Paris, France

"The video is a patchwork of his shots that was taken here in the Philippines from January to April 2011. He went here to study as an exchange student in Manila. His stay here allows him to travel in many places like Bohol, Baguio, Batad, Angeles, the Pinatubo Volcano, Batangas, Cebu, Mindoro (Puerto Galera) and more...

He used a Canon 550d with an old lens Takumar 50mm 1.4 and the canon 18-55mm. It was his first time to shoot a movie, which isn't as easy as he thought but he tested many things and finally learned a lot."
