Since tomorrow was declared a special non working holiday, it is expected that the volume of people will surpass the number of Ninoy’s funeral. Although its sort of different now, our love for Tita Cory brings us together to bring her to her final resting place beside her beloved husband, our hero Ninoy.
To make a better understanding on the funeral route of our beloved former President Cory Aquino, I made a screenshot of google map. On the top left part of the image with #1 is the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros. The march will start there after the 9 am [...]

The whole nation was shocked yesterday morning when they learned about former President Cory Aquino’s death at the age of 76. Although we knew that former President Aquino was suffering from colorectal cancer also known as colon cancer, we are still surprised because deep in our heart, we want her to be there during our battle against Con-Ass. But her time is up, all we can do is pay respect and offer prayers for her good soul. May she continue praying for us in heaven.
When Kris Aquino announced in The Buzz last Sunday that she will be “on leave” to [...]

It was announced that there will be no classes in all levels nationwide on February 23, 2009, Monday in celebration of People Power anniversary.

R.A. 9492 provides that holidays, except those which are religious in nature, moved to the nearest Monday unless otherwise modified by law, order or proclamation.
The way I see it, the announcement is just [...]

Its in our culture that Filipinos celebrate Christmas season the longest. Why? Because we are family oriented, we have close family ties not with our immediate family but to all our relatives. December is usually hectic on attending Christmas parties with relatives, friends, office mates, classmates, organizations… you name it. Some even travel from provinces to Manila or the other way around just to be with their loved ones.
This year 2008 will be a long Christmas vacation. Good news, isn’t it? I usually looked like a zombie with dark circles under my eyes during December. Its annoying but seeing the [...]
