Another Paradise - in The Philippines?

I have been visiting many places in the Philippines during the last years. Palawan only now! And I experienced:

The public school system lacks 143.281 classrooms this yeat 2011. However the money for the construction of new classrooms was affected by he decision of the administration's economic managers to tighten infrastructure spending in the first four months of 2011.

The construction of new classrooms should have been spared rom the new policy on infrastructure in the first months of 2011. 

Being a teacher and faculty member at a Philippine state university in Davao City, I strongly agree, that initial comparisons with fossil specimens suggest it belongs to one of the extinct species of plant-eating sirenia, also known as sea cows.

600 Bikers For Peace in Mindanao

I love biking since my childhood. Several health circumstances held me back to such events, I am writing about here and now.

More than 600 bikers pushed their way uphill as the first "Bike for Peace" sponsored by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process outside of Metro Manila.

Participants from local government sectors along with other peace advocats, biking enthusiasts and media guests trekked the mountainous terrain staring from the People Park in Cotabato City (city hall), where I have been staying in 1989 during an interview with during that time acting mayor Mr. Badoy, to North Upi in Maguindanao.

Beyond the physical activity, this event also mirror (hopefully!) the Philippine goverment's goal in reaching a final peace agreement with the MILF, which has been going in for years niow.

"Bike for Peace" is usually held in Manila. Peace for Mindanao! Is it really such a never ending story???
