Philippine Independence Day: Wear the Flag Proudly
June 12 is the Independence Day of Asia’s first Republic, the Philippines, and one of the most visual ways of showing our patriotism is through the proud display of our national flag. But as per my observations, there are many who are still unaware on its proper display so before we start getting creative in displaying…
Goodbye Summer?
Talk about Mother Nature changing her mind so abruptly—from sweltering heat to flooded streets literally overnight! Wasn’t it just a few days ago when most of us were complaining with the record highs for the year, and yet yesterday many got stranded with flash floods that swept some of the roads in the Metro? Does…
Visita Iglesia 2011
Visita Iglesia (Spanish: Church Visits) is the tradition of visiting seven churches on Holy Thursday as penance. Some people expand it to 14 churches with each one representing the Stations of the Cross. For this year I decided to start including this in my Holy Week habit but unfortunately I didn’t know that it should be on a Thursday, so ended up doing it on a Saturday, with an unexpected extra two churches!
Glad to be in PH!

The result—darkness! …
Change Begins
As the Republic of the Philippines welcomes its 15th President, the doors of changes are wide open. We may have been divided with our choices during the last elections but we all seek the same aspirations. The time for the country to unite has come and let us rally behind our new President to support…
Runner’s World Philippines, Page 36
Have you seen this month’s issue of Runner’s World (Philippines) magazine? I missed the first issue (I’m not really much into reading, much less into magazines) and this one is my first copy of the magazine. A friend of mine told me what’s inside that’s why I got myself a copy (included with this month’s…
Boracay Adventures: Realization (Day 3)
Coming to the third day of our Boracay trip I realized something—three days are not enough! There’s just so many things you can do in this lovely island that three days are simply not enough. Our return flight to Manila takes us to the Kalibo International Airport about an hour and a half away from…
Experience the World through Sports: Sports Tourism
Given a chance, who wouldn’t want to travel? But travelling for sports? That’s a different story altogether. We typically travel either for business or leisure, and if it’s the latter we usually have relaxation in mind. And relaxation doesn’t usually involve moving too much! Sports Tourism is a niche of the travel industry with sports…
