Pacquiao Rules Again!

Image
Our Pambansang Kamao - Manny Pacquiao again shows to the world that Filipinos are great fighters. The confrontation of Juan Manuel Marquez and Pacquiao is a battle against the real WBC super featherweight champion of the world and took the organizer four years for the rematch. And after 12 deadly rounds on the ring, the Philippine flag swayed again in the Famous Mandalay Bay Hotel to confirm that Manny had stole the title and become the champion. Manny has really gone a long way, this young brash Filipino boxer whom has risen to almost folk hero status among his kababayans had proven his Mexican destroyer brand to the world.At the moment he is the first Asian Boxer to hold World Titles in three different weight divisions. It was a real close fight and Manny had a best match over Marquez and for sure every Pinoy's watch this momentous bout. I was just disappointed for not seeing his famous knock out finale for his opponent and the excitement of his deadly move. Anyway, I am proud

Piolo Believing: Ten years of a successful career

Image
One of the country's most sought after actors and commercial endorsers, Piolo Pascual truly pave way to success. He had proven his mettle in acting with dozens of awards, blockbuster movies, record breaking albums and multitudes of endorsements. It was during the latter days of October this year when David Fabros , approached us for a book project. An ABS-CBN resident photographer for years, David had documented and collected Piolo's memorabilia in a span of his showbiz career. Much to our surprise, he planned right away to launch the book by Nov. 30, 2007 for the 10th year anniversary concert of Mr. Piolo Pascual. We only had less than a month to go and I told them that it is a "mission impossible". Materials were not yet ready and aside from that David had to go abroad for a business commitment. "Wow, this is really a project suicide" I said. David comforted us when he decided that a concept was already established. He wanted a pictorial biography book f

Destination: Eagle's Point

Image
Pinoy Explorer is on the go again. Recently, I was able to visit the fabulous resort of Eagle Point in Batangas. Local residents in this area called the place "Bagalangit" which means "Almost Heaven". It has something that they can be proud of, clean sea air, pristine waters, perfect for scuba divers and fantastic sunset view by the bay. The place is located on the tip of the Calumpang Peninsula and just two and a half hours drive from Manila but actually we had reached the place form Manila almost 5 hours. That includes a stop-over in Lipa, Batangas . This privately-owned haven is one of the biggest and best resorts so far in Anilao-Mabini area. Read more...

Image
May is a month of fiesta in the Philippines and mostly devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Countless Flores de Mayo are being held in various barrios throughout the country where flowers are being offered by children and Santacruzan are for young ladies who vie for the Reyna Elena status.

My Wife's Day

Image
I was at home reading a Sunday paper and I throw a glance at my wife with my2 year old kid watching the photos during our last year's vacation in baguio. My son was so happy enumerating names of those what he sees on the photo slides on the computer monitor. He giggles and he was very smart calling his mother's attention to turn the photos in portrait mode. He already able to identify what is correct in his vision. As i watch them, there's a spot in my heart that says, "You must be fortunate to have a family like that." I can also tell that that my son was contented, enjoying his life as a kid and was raised with the loving hands of his parents. Two years had passed and I can't really imagine that my son is growing fast and smart. He can already recite his ABCs and other nursery rhymes that his mom had taught every night. He can already mimic some TV commercials and dance some of its tunes. I seldom recognized my wife's effort for all these years and I wan
