The Filipino Poor and An Angel

The story of Jane Walker is touching and an inspiration to all the Filipinos around the world. This British mom really touched my heart that’s why it drives me to write about her. She was called an Angel to save the Filipino children in Manila’s city dump, the Smokey Mountain.

She left her career in Britain just to save the Filipino children. The 43 year old Briton has been personally attached for more than 10 years at Smokey Mountain project. She is the founder of Philippine Christian Foundation in 1996, and later registered as a charity in 2002. Among the projects of PCF includes Education and Adult Literacy, Nutrition and Health, Livelihood and Skills Training, Family and Community Enhancement and Spiritual Care.

Erap Pa Rin! (Ang Pagbabalik)

Ito ang balitang bumulaga sa atin kaninang hapon dito sa Pilipinas. Former Joseph Estrada was given a full pardon ng ating magaling na Presidenteng Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Ito daw ang pinakamahirap na desisyon na ginawa ni GMA sa buong buhay niya. Para nga ba sa ating lahat ang desisyong ito o para sa kanyang personal interest? Eksakto naman sa pagbubukas muli ng hearing tungkol sa ZTE deal na kung saan deretsahang ng isinangkot ng batang De Venecia si GMA sa issue. Magaling, magaling, magaling!

Adventures of the Coconuter an Inspiration

A young man who had a comfortable and achievement-adorned life in the US, left it all in search of true meaning to “life, freedom, purpose, and happiness” figuratively embodied in a “perfect golden coconut.” While in the US, he graduated Valedictorian of his high school class, received a full scholarship to one of the top US colleges, Rice University, interned at NASA for two terms, and is MENSA International qualified, to name a few of his accomplishments. He now lives as a “nomad” in the Philippines and attempts to try and understand various aspects of life and life itself. He maintains a blog to document his thoughts and photographs during his journey. His writings and ideas have good intentions and have potential for overall world improvement, which you will see from reading his blog.

Siya ay nabigyan ng Life Imprisonment Reclusion Perpetua, paliwanag ni Fortun, hindi ito pang habambuhay na pagkabilanggo, siya ay makukulong ng maximum na 40 years. Kung iisipin, parang habambuhay na din dahil matanda na si Erap (70 years old) at halos duon na lamang nya hihintayin ang kanyang kamatayan.
