Remembering The Kartilya
June 12, 2008
After 110 years of independence, have we forgotten as a people how it is to be free and to respect others’ freedom? Have we made a steady progress as a nation during the last century? Where do we see our country heading for the next 100 years?
Paglaganap ng mga aral na ito, at maningning na sisikat ang araw ng mahal na kalayaan dito sa kaaba-abang Sangkapuluan at sabungan ng matamis niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang magkakalahi’t magkakapatid, ng liwanag ng walang katapusan, ang mga ginugol na buhay, pagod, at mga tiniis na kahirapa’y labis nang matutumbasan.
- A life that is not dedicated to a noble cause is like a tree without a shade or a poisonous weed.
- A deed lacks nobility if it is motivated by self-interest and not by a sincere desire to help.
- True piety consists of being charitable, loving one’s fellow men, and being judicious in behavior, speech and deed.

The World Awaits Again
May 7, 2008
Oscar “The Golden Boy” De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are two among the boxing giants whose names will definitely ring a bell even to non-boxing fans. Their May 2007 fight at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada was a certified box office hit beating the financial record of the Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson bout.
With De La Hoya losing his WBC light middleweight championship belt by a split decision to Mayweather; and a record earnings of $134.4 million in pay-per-view revenue and $18.4 million in live gate, you cannot but expect that a sequel will definitely follow.
Ferdz Decena’s Living By Water
May 6, 2008
If you are an admirer of great photographs and is free any day between May 12 to 27, make sure to check out a good blog friend’s first one man monochrome photo exhibit at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati City.
The exhibit is themed “Living by Water“. In his blog, Ferdinand Decena explains what the exhibit is all about…
From time immemorial, civilizations have thrived and lived near bodies of water. The reason is crystal-clear: water is vital to man’s existence. It is the reason why this exhibition pays homage to water and its significance to how and why people live by the water. Featuring photos that tell stories about the coastal Filipinos’ living conditions, reveal their culture, and relate their stories of survival.
The exhibit will carry a raft of striking images from across our archipelago. The Badjao Stilt Villages of Basilan. The Muslim Stilt Village of Rio Hondo in Zamboanga. The fishermen of Siquijor. The T’bolis of Lake Sebu. The rugged shores of Itbayat in Batanes. And the tranquil coasts of Iloilo.
Checkout En Route for the gallery schedule, location map, and other details of the exhibit.
