That's Awkward
How does it make you feel knowing that the first sign got replaced by the second sign?
WatchThe last time I was in the Philippines was in 2006 when I participated in the Philippine Studies Program organized by Philippine Forum in conjunction with UP Diliman. The experiences from this trip stay with me to this date, of course. It had opened up to me the small -yet grand- world that is the collective of Filipin@s/Fil-Ams that struggle for national democracy in the Philippines.

“The Sahara is one of the harshest environments in the world. Ranging across the West African nations of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Algeria and Libya, it’s drought-prone and crawling with scorpions.

I am contemplating how some folks I have come across in various circles idealize MLK. This isn’t a post about his methods. This is about leadership and collective work. I have met many progressive folks calling for a new MLK type of leader.

Dear Santa: Questions from a 9-yr-old
My favorite thing about this is letter is that she (my niece) never asks for any type of gift for herself. I don’t ever recall writing a letter to this dude as a child, but if I did, I’m pretty sure all I’d be asking is, “What happened to that bike I wanted?”

Mark Farrales’ father, Jaime, had just announced a bid for congress during that time. Mark was only ten years old when he left the Philippines....
