Hi, I heard that Prince Andrea is going to visit Manila, Philippines this August, does anyone have an idea on what the exact date is? Thanks!

oh wow. andrea is going to the philipines? he's really getting involved in his mother's charities. i'm so proud of him.

There was one article at a local newspaper here in the Philippines. It didn't say much except that the visit will be for AMADE and sometime this month. Plus some tidbits on Andrea. Will post any pics or articles.... or any Andrea sightings if we get lucky! I'm sure there will be some coverage on his visit.

oh, please post your pics monica17! i hope you manage to take a snap or two :)

so is andrea going to manila alone without his mother?

when will andrea go in manila?

The exact dates have not been announced for Andrea's visit to Manila but it is said to be within the month. It also seems that he will be traveling alone, without Princess Caroline. I'm sure he will have security and also maybe someone to attend to him while he's here. I will check with contacts in the NGO network here and see if there are any more info. Sure, will post any links, articles and pics of Andrea's visit.:smile:

Does anyone know how long Andreas will be in Manila? :ermm:

what's NGO network?

Well, AMADE supports the Virlanie Foundation here; it was founded by a French man who chose to live in the Philippines. Princess Caroline graced a fundraising event for it 2 years ago, among other things. The non-governmental organizations (NGOs)/foundations here are familiar with each other's work and also work together due to limited resources... we call the NGOs/foundations collectively as the NGO network. I checked Virlanie Foundation's website and there was nothing at all on Andrea's visit. But I'm sure there will be some press coverage.

Any info on when he's coming to Manila would be greatly appreciated. Thanks monica. :-)

Monaco’s prince comes to Manila to visit mom’s charity work.

He's meeting with law students from the University of the Philippines! Darn, I wish I was old enough to go...

Is this Royal Chill Out thingy open to the public?
Thanks for the info!

Not sure. The article mentioned something about guests, so I guess you need an invitation.

I'll be so mad if people like Tim Yap attend. They don't deserve it.
