I think this is very exciting for Laguna and Its residents to have such a famous Magazine to shoot pictures here. That helps draw more people to this beautiful city of ours. Any positive attention like this is good for our community's economy. We have the most beautiful coastline in the world, the pictures will be awesome. I can't wait to see them.
