Posted in "Typhoon Franck" on June 22, 2008 by zethrock–(UPDATE) Typhoon Frank (international code name: Fengshen) has maintained its strength and its eye was located 90 kilometers southeast of Metro Manila (13.9°N 121.5°E) in the latest bulletin issued by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the state weather bureau. In its 5 a.m. update, Pagasa said Frank was forecast to move north northwest at 15 kilometers per hour and had maximum winds of 120 kph and gustiness of up to 150 kph.
As of last night, rains kept pouring on, our electricity was cut-off due to strong winds. Automatically, when we have no electricity here we have no water. So when we woke-up this morning, ugh! we have no extra water in the comfort room, for dishwashing, for taking a bath…the solution….MAG-IGIB!!!

Philippines’ Independence Day
Posted in "Independence Day" on June 12, 2008 by zethrock
The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in the Philippines, where Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo (later to become the Philippines’ first Republican President) proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain after the latter was defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
The declaration, however, was not recognized by the United States or Spain, as the Spanish government ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in consideration for an indemnity for Spanish expenses and assets lost.
While the Philippines first celebrated its Independence Day on June 12, its independence was only recognized on July 4, 1946 by the United States. Henceforth, Independence Day was observed on July 4, but in the name of nationalism, and upon the advice of historians, Republic Act No. 4166 was signed into law by President Diosdado Macapagal on August 4, 1964, proclaiming June 12, which up to that time had been observed as Flag Day, as Independence Day.




Today as we celebrate our Independence Day numbers of student from elementary and High School of different schools go to streets with a Philippine Flags in their hand. Hand in hand they paraded symbolizing their unity…
PANATANG MAKABAYAN
Original Filipino Edition
Panatang Makabayan, Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas
Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan,
ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi
Ako’y kanyang kinukupkop at tinutulungan
Upang maging malakas, maligaya, at kapaki-pakinabang
Bilang ganti ay diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang
Susundin ko ang mga tuntunin ng aking paaralan
Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin ng isang mamamayang
Makabayan at masunurin sa batas
Paglilingkuran ko ang aking bayan
Ng walang pag-iimbot at nang buong katapatan
Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino
Sa Isip, sa Salita at sa Gawa
Revised Filipino Edition
