After weeks of pen to paper, we have finally got our act together and LDNmeetsMNL is LIVE!!!

You’re probably saying, “Oh man, not another one of these sites…” Well it is, BUT…

By using the contacts and knowledge (ahem!) we have, we will be culminating articles and information for your reading pleasure. As the name suggests, we will aim to bridge the virtual gap between London and Manila. It may appear to be like so many of the other sites out there promoting the ‘Pinoy’ brand, but the integral and unique aspect of this ‘project’ is the involvement of London, Manila and international contributors; and how we interconnect or are influenced by each other’s cities and cultures.

With the Philippines and the Filipino as the main focus, the usual suspects of posts relating to trends, music, entertainment, events and lifestyle will feature.  Alongside are the points of views regarding current news, culture and politics. We will also aim to provide you with information about the individuals, groups and organisations trying to make a change; those who want to simply promote their talent or revolutionise their objectives and ideas, and generate support within and outside of their communities. I think you will be surprised by what so many individuals and groups do!

So to get the ball rolling, the first release as follows:

On a Soundtrip with DannieBoi

This is just a taster, but there will be much more to come.

Ideally, what we would like you attain from this site is a place of connection.

On that note… LDNmeetsMNL is now here to inform, connect and inspire.
