The earthquake in Bohol the other day that claimed the lives of 144 and counting as of today and billions of pesos of damages of property remind me of my last year post on unusual and sexy names of places in the Philippines and around the world as follows:
Chocolate Hills, Bohol, Philippines-one of the many places affected by the Bohol 7.2 Earthquake two days ago.
While surfing the web, I found the following names unusual, sexy and funny. There is no particular order in the list. I also listed two places that are both surnames of my father and mother from the Philippines.
With regards to my wife's mother surname, NIEVA, there is a street named NIEVA in Makati, Philippines and a bridge, named NIEVA in Gasan, Marinduque, Philippines.
