It is the grandest finale to the greatest show on earth. It is shown everyday, smooth like clockwork. It is predictable at times but more often it has a twist of glory that leaves the heart yearning for more… more time even for just a few seconds. Although it is one of the most photographed events, it does not cost a penny to be viewed.It is the great sunset. Bright afternoon skies that gradually

The road trip to Baguio is just as pleasurable as the destination itself, particularly upon entering La Union province where the rolling plains presently a very pleasant array of shades of green and yellow. The gentle sloping hills are thick with foliage from trees of great variety – a perfect site for any Hollywood movie that needs a jungle setting. Clear rivers and bubbling streams offer a

. They give you cake and just when you’re about to eat it, they grab it from your hand and smother you with it. The move by PLDT and Globelines to slash or demolish the per-minute NDD rates altogether was commendable. For PLDT subscribers for an additional 200 pesos flat rate, one can make unlimited calls any other PLDT line all over the country. Globe on the other hand would charge nothing

Students push for the Philippine Eagle as the National Bird. I thought it already is. I remember that Pagasa (hope), the first Philippine eagle bred in captivity has sparked such move. Philippine stamps since 1996 have declared that the Philippine Eagle as the holder of the title. Hmm. Where have these people been?

Let’s face it , we are a nation plagued by disasters every so often. Along with the blessings of abundant natural resources so abundant as well are natural killers that have hounded the Filipino’s existence since time immemorial. Earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, what have you. As a nation of 7,107 islands, natural disasters associated with water are not surprising. It does not help that

Just watched Mano Po 3, an entry to the 2004 Metro Manila Film Festival – my first time to watch a Mano Po movie. Its opening a window of understanding towards Filipino Chinese gets high points from me. It presents some of the already well known stereotypes of this ethnic group (?) but it also sheds new light about Filipino- Chinese culture. It was filmed in three countries, The Philippines,

It hit the northwestern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra at 7:00 am local time. The deaths weren’t caused by the earthquake itself but by massive tsunamis
