According to this article in the Guardian newspaper in Britain, the sexy and social metropolis of Manila is now the undisputed 'selfie' capital of the world. By contrast Manchester and Milan were the only two European cities to make it into the 'selfie' top ten. Significantly their combined scores didn't even come close to matching the total for Manila.
It was also no accident that the Filipino second city of Cebu also featured prominently in the world's top ten.
Pinoys love to smile, so with 258 selfie-takers per 100,000 people, that means on average every 400th person (or 0.25% of the entire population) poses regularly for a selfie.
It was therefore no surprise to learn that Filipinos in Makati supposedly celebrated the announcement of their chart-topping success by... yes, you've guessed it... taking yet more selfies.
And why not? As I continually tell Jo, Jacky and Toni, if you've got it, then flaunt it!
And with friends as sexy as this, even an old camera-shy codger like me enjoys getting in on the act!
Thanks for all the fun, the laughs and the special memories now captured for posterity.
