By Elizabeth Medina, Vienna, Austria, June 12, 2001 On this day of our Independence, these thoughts come to me. What defines a nation is the mutual recognition established between people who identity with similar values and aspire to a common future. Mutual recognition Between people who identify with similar values Aspiring to a common future. […]
It’s not every day that you get to thank a personal hero in front of an audience (well, an online audience that is). I am happy to have been a part of this program by the Vibal Foundation called “Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española Tertulia & Concert to Honor Its New Honorary Academics”. The […]
Rumor is that Pacquiao took on fighting Errol Spence this August with this in mind: Once he wins, he will announce his Philippine presidential candidacy! Now that’s a huge risk. Go big or go home mentality: the expression often used to refer to the mindset of taking an extreme position. Imagine Pac putting out the […]
I spoke with some kabayan on the basketball court the other day. We talked about overseas voting registration. Surprise, surprise. Most have not registered to vote for the coming 2022 election! Less than 100 days left for the Overseas Absentee Voters Registration. This is for the May 2022 national and local elections. The registration runs only […]
As expected, former Philippine President Benigno “Pnoy Aquino III’s death has awakened the nastiest online comments, most coming from those who are upset about his past government and political alliances. Filipinos are taught from a young age to respect the dead. Many people forget to do this. Tons of nasty stuff making the rounds. Some […]
I work 6 days a week. So I try to tune out negative news and focus on what I can control. But the deaths of Keith and Nolven Absalon by the CPP NPA were disheartening and frustrating. I have been reflecting on the deaths of the Absalon cousins in Masbate City for some days now. […]
We have wanted a Philippine identification system for a long time. I had thought that it would not happen. But now it’s here. The first part of the application is online. Millions had already registered. I just created this blog post to share some basic information about the application. This blog hopes to help answer […]
Whenever I pass by Changi area, these are the first three things that come to mind: Changi Museum, Changi Prison, and Flor Contemplacion. The Contemplacion part, I will explain later. Changi Museum is a must-see attraction in the area. We have always lived in the eastern part of Singapore. Next to Changi, a town called […]
When you record zoom video calls and upload them online are they webcasts, vlogs, conference calls or online lectures? Who cares. I started doing just that. Not the first time I have uploaded interviews (they’re more conversations, really) online. I have more than a dozen hours before Youtube snuffed out the light off my channel. […]
I am delighted to hear about the news that Palaweños has rejected the proposal to split it into three separate provinces. I hope the voters do the same to those who sponsored it in the next elections. Never forget who pushed for hacking the great province into several parts. Splitting provinces into several parts is […]
I’ve passed by Labrador (back when I was working in the area) never bothered to explore it. And it’s strange because the place is a historical site and I’m supposed to be a history buff. I have corrected this error. My plan was to do some bird watching the entire morning then proceed to WWII […]
This is the 3rd in a series of vlogs about Filipinos here in Singapore. I wanted to find these strands of connections between the early Filipinos that came here, worked and lived, and left. I am surprised that there’s a lot of stories waiting to be told. A few years ago a friend of mine […]
I have been to Fort Canning too many times. Strolling around the hill is good exercise. While it’s a recreational area for most of us, many forget how historic it is. You dig deep and long enough you’ll find pieces of evidence of its past. There’s actually an archaeological dig exhibit not far from the […]
