I love living in the province. No traffic. Laid back lifestyle. Fresh air.

Monday’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) of GMA will be the most interesting for me. I hope I won’t hear a lot of rhetoric and gimmicks in this year’s SONA. The Filipinos need realistic outputs and not drawings on the board. I’ve had enough of ‘bangkang papel’. As an Ilonggo idiom goes, basa na papel ni GMA.

I am a voracious reader but in today’s economic situation, buying or subscribing to magazines is out of the question.

A world without Filipinos is a world that would probably be on a standstill.

Last June 12 we celebrated the 110th Declaration of Philippine Independence.
