Me and my wife were in Manila for a short time last month. I managed to do something audio related one afternoon.

TG is an audiogeek. Despite his relatively high social status, he is also very down to earth and hang out with a bunch of Filipino audiophiles from a much lower social bracket (including me).

I originally wanted to listen to his Tidal La Assoluta and Grand Lanche speakers but since both of them are still with the dealer, we listened to his Monitor Audio Platinum system (dedicated room at home) and Gryphon Trident system (dedicated room in one of his commercial buildings.

While he usually hang out with a group of guys who call themselves Spoiled Audiophiles, he also support a vibrant Facebook based audiogroup called Audio Friends of The Philippines. As a member of AFP, he host listening and information sessions, lending his worldclass audio toys to the masses. He is also an active supporter or the Filipino DIY and audio builder community. He said he will eventually turn one of his buildings to an audio museum.

The big pair is a project he did with a local DIYer, using drivers from Diatone (I think) speakers .
