Never will I Watch the UP Pep Squad
I don’t watch cheering competitions. Except in high school where I was “forced” to join a cheering competition in the intramurals, I haven’t seen any cheering competition or its variation, the cheerdance (I’m not even sure to spell it as “cheerdance” or “cheer dance”), whether in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) or …
Typhoon Egay on a Long Weekend
Not to mention that this weekend happens to be Father’s Day (June 19) and the Rizal 150th Birth Anniversary holiday (June 20). Typhoon Egay is here to crash the party. Those itching to go on a long weekend vacation, considering that this is one of the very rare long weekends for 2011, have to wait …
The Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan
What is usually overlooked is the place where the first Philippine Congress convened (15 September 1898), where the first Philippine Constitution was passed (also known as the “Malolos Constitution”, drafted from 29 September 1898 to 21 January 1899), where the first Philippine Republic was inaugurated (23 January 1899) and where the first Philippine President took …
Amazing Comeback of Mavs in Game 2
Simply amazing! 15 points down, a little over 7 minutes left in the last quarter. I took a shower because, I thought, Game 2 was over for the Dallas Mavericks. 2-0 in favor of the Miami Heat. Then something spectacular happened.
Poll: How do You Spend the Holy Week
The Roman Catholic Church reiterates that Holy Week is a time for prayer and reflection, and not for picnics and beach parties, notes a recent news. The declared national regular holidays in April 21 (Maundy Thursday) and April 22 (Good Friday), as well as the special non-working day in April 23 (Black Sataurday), highlight the …
Enjoying the Water Slides this Summer at Splash Island (Laguna)
Kids have their individual tolerance for pain and fear. Each has different levels of excitement and happiness. What’s exciting for some may be boring for others. What’s absolutely fun to one may be terribly frightening to someone else.
Into the Pagsanjan Waterfalls
The main Pagsanjan waterfall looks cute from afar. It’s far from scary (and even if it would have looked scary, we would still have loaded ourselves on the bamboo raft). Looks can be deceiving, they say. It’s easy to forget how powerful tons of water could be.
History in the Flesh at The Underground Cemetery
This national historical landmark, constructed in 1845, is hard to miss when passing through the national highway in the town of Nagcarlan, province of Laguna. The airy and spacious plaza is impressive. The brick wall and fence are picture-perfect. But I wouldn’t want to be stuck here at night. This is a cemetery. An old …
Suggested Itinerary from Manila to Bicol (Mayon Volcano and Butanding of Donsol)
Summer vacation. Perfect time to go on a road trip, whether down to the beach or up to Baguio. Sure, taking the plane is more comfortable, but taking the car could be fun. Those who prefer the beach may go to Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, Subic, Batangas, Pagudpud or other great Philippine beaches. How about going …
Places to Visit and See in Intramuros (Manila City)
It’s said that to better prepare for the future, we must understand the past. So for parents who want to expose their children to significant Philippine historical places, lumped within a relatively small area, then Intramuros would be a good place to start.
