There’s this Radiolab podcast that featured Filipinos working for Facebook as censors. The podcast delved into what many consider an over-reach on Facebook’s part in suppressing content. But my fascination was on the Filipino content moderators. Who would have thought that pornographic and violent posts are purged from Facebook’s platform in Manila of all places? […]

I found this undated map online showing the barangays of Muntinlupa and nearby towns. It appears to be more of a pictorial than scientific reference. There’s not a lot of data other than names. Alabang, Bayanan, Sucat and Cupang is on the map. Interesting is that Tunasan was written without “San Pedro.” The old hacienda […]
Old DOH Building will be back Something’s special is happening in Alabang. The entire Filinvest mall is getting a facelift, but, this is not what I’m all excited about. The planned inclusion of the old DOH building as part of the improvements is the thrillin’ news here! A few years ago, I would bike around […]
We had our little get together slash “despedida” last Friday at Hapchan. I was totally entertained by the funny stories. Takes my mind out of the “now”. It was a simple dinner and everybody had a great time and bloated guts! This team will always have a “lugar especial en mi corazon”. Hired all of ’em […]
I don’t know if its the thought that I’m a month away from leaving the building (I recently resigned) that gave me a more appreciative eye but you know lately I’ve been seeing a lot of these breathtaking sunrises over Laguna de Ba’i. Truly a wonderful experience. Over the years, I developed this habit of […]
There are just so many things going on at work these past few days that I decided to sketch myself. I like drawing stuffs and throwing them away. Looking back, I should’ve kept those drawings. If I did, I would now have a voluminous portfolio to present to prospective employers [if its any good!]. I’ve […]
What I discovered recently is how its so much better traveling around old towns in a bicycle. It won’t always be possible as tehre are limitations in the number of places you can reach but nothing beats the health benefits (which I desperately needs!) and the mobility it affords. Since I was expecting some rain […]
Just before I left the office today I started greeting people “Happy Independence Day”. “How do you react to that?,” someone said, not sure whether to greet back. Surprising was this young fella who answered back, “when is Independence man?” Though I find it funny(these people are good friends), it was hard for me to […]
I have been researching these beautiful birds that can be found along the small rivers and the remaining woodlands in our area. This justify an investment in camera equipments that will help me document the existing wild life until it vanishes forever – but this, of course, is easier said than done as DSLR cameras […]
I decided to go out and bike around Filinvest Alabang this morning. It rained heavy last night and it is said that the flow naturally cleans up the river. True enough, the water was so amazingly clear; the sun was intense as usual, revealing the fishes that freely swims with the calm stream. Ever since […]
