The old Phillipines Embassy on Mass Ave. has definitely seen a better day. This is right next door to the big, new, impressive Australian Embassy and is obviously a sharp contrast. With it all boarded up and the sign rusting and paint peeling, the place doesn't make a very good impression. We thought this was the only embassy of the Phillipines, but then we turned and saw across the street the brand new embassy building, all shiny and impressive. My advice to the Phillipines embassy staff: Get that sign down off the old embassy! You don't want people to get the wrong idea, do you?
