I checked out the Philippine Embassy (DC) online to check for more news on this piece of news and found someone who looks very much like MLQ3 in the photo gallery!

Also, a few weeks ago, the New York Times ran a glowing review of Cendrillon, owned by chef Romy Dorotan and his wife, Amy Besa. Any one lurking in New York should check out Romy’s terrific resto in SoHo. It’s a one-of-a-kind, groundbreaking Filipino resto in the U.S. A welcome departure from the very tiring and underachieving turo-turo/carinderia, Goldilocks, Max, Jolibee that proliferate in Filipino communities abroad. Romy serves creative Filipino dishes, haute-cuisine style, that’s casual and easy to enjoy. He tells me that many skilled Filipinos work at line chefs and sous-chefs work at some of Manhattan’s best restos. I hope they get a chance to be the head chef or open their own resto someday.

I can’t agree more with Madame Chiang, NAIA is awful and deteriorating. Not a single restaurant or café in there or an interesting store. Puro cheap souvenirs at low-quality pasalubongs. These are not very exciting to travelers, especially foreigners. And it’s ironic because all our burgeoning malls are filled with great stores and restos. Ano ba naman yung magbukas sila ng branch doon sa airport! I’d be elated if Recipes would open a branch there or if Gaudi opens a tapas bar. And instead of the cheaply made pasalubongs you find being sold at the airport, I wish Blue Kitchen at Shangrila would open a small stand there as well. What about an Ice Monster outlet there, too? And one of my pet peeves, sa dinamidami ng bottled buko juice sa Metro Manila not a single store in the airport terminal sells it! Hello?! This is much better than bottled water or soda to take to the aircraft.

IS GMA TO BE TRUSTED? starting from the surveys
less than 20% says GMA can still be trusted.

daughter like father, recalling the conversation i had with a former con-con delegate;

when MARCOS called for a con-con among those elected is former pres. diosdado macapagal the choice of MARCOS et al, to be con-con president is the late julius ledesma, father
of cong. jules ledesma.
upon learning of who marcos would be supporting former pres. diosdado macapagal sought an audience with marcos.

accordingly as alleged macapagal was able to convince marcos to “allow” macapagal as former pres of the country to be elected con-con president and so it happened.

but in return upon the final draft of the constitution macapagal for his part supported the inclusion in limiting the term of marcos as president..as alleged, when marcos was informed he smiled and shook his head…. the rest is history.

such a similarity of attitude, character…as one would say its all in the family….

Finally, we the so-called silent majority have come into a concrete action against the issues of the day. Above all other issues, i think the most serious here is the dishonesty of the president. T-R-U-T-H is given. We demand transaprency,responsibility… from people trusted with peoples will. But first we must resolve the issue on wether the present occupant in Malacanang has the peoples mandate on the first place.
