YouthVote with Ces Drilon in GenSan
I HAD to wake up before four o’clock this morning to be one of the first registrants of Boto Mo, Ipatrol Mo, Ako ang Simula in General Santos City. That was a commitment I made as part of the Ayala Young Leaders Alliance, which is a partner of Youth Vote Philippines.
Even back in college, I have been part of our voters registration campaign and voters education program in South Cotabato. We worked with LGUs and encouraged the youth to register and to become intelligent voters.

I HAD an affair with Ladol Beach last summer. With my cellphone camera, I attempted to capture its natural beauty.
I’ve only been able to upload the pictures today so I posted them right away on my photo blog.

SCRAP HR 1109. Let Arroyo finish her term in 2010.
I’m not a lawyer. I have not studied the Philippine Constitution in depth, either. I cannot talk about the constitutionality of the constituent assembly but I believe that the House Resolution that paves the way for the Constituent Assembly is nothing but the administration’s show of strength as it holds the loyalty of the majority of the members of the House of Representatives. How else could they take advantage of the number of congressmen on their side than to use it to spur Charter Change that may extend Arroyo’s term?

MOST PEOPLE I know think that I am living a monastic life. They would tell me that I’ll get old too soon, thinking that my life revolves around work and home only. Some even think I’m a nerd. But they are wrong.
Even when I was a high school student, I would always visit my classmate, Honey. We would sit by her wide window and talk about the future, and sometimes, just about anything. I also had a sort of a gang back in high school and we’ll turn the classroom into a music hall.

IT’S BEEN sooooo looooong since I last posted here because I took my vacation seriously. And I tell you, my summer was one of my most memorable.
Just what did I do this summer of 2009?
After my students’ graduation day, I wanted to make my family feel that I am really LIVING WITH THEM, I spent a few days at home, did the cooking, played with my nephews and nieces (there’s abunch of them), and, you know, just lingered around. In the afternoon, I would bike, and at times, jog to the beach to get rid of the fats I have accumulated from graduation treats and birthday parties. On the beach, I would watch the sun as it sets down the horizon and the sea waves as they rush to the shore.
