Haiti Earthquake MemoriesThe memories of death and pain still loom for the country known as Haiti. The 7.0 earthquake is still on the minds of most Haitians. The world is trying their best to save who they can. So many lives have been lost to the rumble and death totals are still increasing everyday.

A Thought About the PhilippinesAs I was watching the documentary about Cory last August 16, 2009, I cannot help but look back to the time of history of how hard was it for the Filipino People during the Dictatorial Regime, and so I look back beyond the Martial Law, there was these “conquistadores” – Spanish, Americans and Japanese. If you review history, there is a cycle of freedom and yet being enslaved again… another victory which again ended up to defeat, but then again, its freedom once more.
