Still conforming to this month’s theme on heritage, this edition of Picture Friday features snippets of the cultural heritage of Central Luzon’s landlocked province of Tarlac. Pictures were taken earlier at the Museo ng Probinsya, Monasterio de Tarlac, and the Aquino Center.

Parks

In response to the prompt: Do you have a favorite park? Having a different environment to that of the metropolis’ financial districts (eg. Ortigas, Ayala, BGC, etc.) provide a number of advantages. The absence of high-rise buildings favorably deprives me of the pressure of being in a corporate setting. I also have the humanistic experience [...]
Building a house, Building one’s character
Posted: May 16, 2012 in UncategorizedTags: character, home, house, residence, space
In response to the prompt: Have you ever wanted to build your own house? What would it look like? I believe that building your own house helps in developing character and brings great satisfaction after a few years. I know this because I’ve been living in a house built by my father 23 years ago.

In response to the prompt: Do you ever listen to the radio anymore? I used to listen to radio when I was in high school. It helps me in concentrating on my studies. I don’t have a particular FM station that I tune in to and more often than not, I find myself switching stations. [...]

Silverio and Luisita: Victims and Victors
Posted: April 26, 2012 in UncategorizedTags: Hacienda Luisita, Luisita, Parañaque, Supreme Court
I am no fool to believe that the poor are always the victims of government action and non-action as illustrated by the demolition of houses in the Silverio compound in Parañaque and the favorable decision rendered on the Hacienda Luisita case. I am more inclined to believe that they are victims of some leftist groups [...]

In response to the prompt: Do you ever purchase lottery tickets? It was the 20th of January when I started playing the lotto. It was not simply the lotto but the Grand Lotto drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. One has to choose six numbers ranging from 1-55 and one has the option to choose up [...]
