Filipino Pride in the 115th Independence Day Celebration

Today our country commemorates the 115th Anniversary of the Declaration of Philippine Independence. As a Filipino, I can never be more proud. :)

I would like to thank Google for a nice doodle specific to this day's celebration.



I am one with President Pnoy who calls on every Filipino:
"Huwag sana tayong maghintay pa ng tatlondaang taon, o ng tatlong dekada, o kahit ng tatlong taon, bago tayo magpasyang magbuklod para maging malaya tayo mula sa gutom, kahirapan, o anumang banta sa ating soberenya’t seguridad. Hindi tama na mapahaba pa ang pagtitiis ng mga Pilipino ni isang minuto," he said.

(Let us not wait for 300 years, or 3 decades or even 3 years before we come together in order to free ourselves from hunger, poverty or whatever threats to our sovereignty and securtiy. It is not right to prolong the suffering of Filipinos by another minute).

My dear kababayans, let us all work in our own little ways to make a better Philippines and a better way of life for all Filipinos.

Over the weekend, I just learned from a Sunday newspaper, of a unique event called the Ibon-Ebon Festival.

It is a colorful event celebrated in Candaba, Pampanga showcasing this municipality as a haven of choice for thousands of migratory birds including rare bird species and its very own duck-egg industry.

This year's celebration of the Ibon-Ebon festival will be on February 4 & 5, 2011. Bird watchers & nature-lovers in general will surely enjoy the bird watching tours, swamp & river cruise, parade and "bird-kite" flying among other planned activities.

PLDT & Smart are part of the information drive about the festival. And I share their call to rediscover the northern part of the country beginning with this Philippine festival.

The Ibon Ebon festival is one of the unique celebrations that we can promote and further develop. It even has an ecological aspect in it in these times of environmental awareness and care.

Here's a video of the Ibon Ebon Festival last year.

Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo

I was waiting to board the LRT when this Dinagyang Festival poster at the nearby wall caught my attention.


I just like to help in spreading the word about the world-reknowned Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo this January 2011.

The Dinagyang is a religious and cultural festival in Iloilo City, Philippines held on the fourth Sunday of January. - Wikipedia

This year's festivities will be on January 21 - 23. I would have to say let's head down south in Iloilo and take part of this glorious Philippine religious and cultural tradition.

This is a shout-out for www.dinagyangsailoilo.com

Happy Easter!


Happy Easter everyone!

I hope you had a meaningful long vacation.

I, on my part, had a not so good long weekend. Our trip to Mt. Maculot in Batangas never materialized because of scheduling problems. :( I was really looking forward of completing the 14 Stations of the Cross there.

I can't help but miss my Visita Iglesia days with my college buddies.

The highlight of the week for me is the Last Supper mass together with my significant other at the St. Peter Parish in Commonwealth Ave., Quezon City.

Hopefully, our plan for a nearby tour will push through before the month is over.
