	Voted 10/10	My wife said, "This was taken at the Butterfly Farm in Bohol ???" Butterflies seem to be a controversial subject here on Summitpost, yes? Some folks love to hate them, but I've always admired their Natural Beauty.

	Hasn't voted	This was taken in the nature, in the jungle of Malipunyo, file miles further of the other photo you likes with the banana leaves. No, a photo from a Butterfly Farm really has not much to do with SP! ;)

	Voted 10/10	I admire your courage .. If you got past the rumored anti-government rebels, you must have nine lives. My wife was born in the Philippines. She keeps telling me: "It's a jungle out there !!!" : )
