[Title] => Capturing Batanes
[Summary] =>
Pastureland as far as your eyes can see, undulating emerald hills, boulder-strewn beaches and the changing colors of the seas from turquoise to lapis lazuli blue. The Ivatan historic stone houses in Sabtang built to stand the lashing winds from the north  these are the islands of Batanes.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines issued a pastoral exhortation on Philippine politics in 1997, the gist of which was: "Philippine politics the way it is practiced has been most hurtful to us as a people. It is possibly the biggest bane in our life as a nation and the most pernicious obstacle to our achieving full development. . .

[Title] => Jung: For men only
[Summary] => I went to a lecture on Depression and the Elderly last Saturday. There I was impressed by the main lecturer, Dr. Emmanuel Gatchalian, 87 years old and still going strong. "I will never retire," he said. He spoke about depression in a way I would not have expected from a man of his age. He welcomed psychiatrists to alleviate depression, drugs, and talk therapy, he said, though he said it with a note of apology, as if we had to get used to the notion of therapy.

[Title] => Stream of consciousness
[Summary] => Mirrored images between painting and poetry condensed in "Pondering," a previous exhibition of works by Rico and Chachu Lascano. The paintings of Rico and the haiku-inspired poems of Chachu echoed a contemporary voice that blended modernist painting inflected by an Oriental serenity and haiku-poems reminiscent of New Age contemplation. Together, painting and poetry sailed into an experiential delight of the spirit. That watery terrain, the pond, was turned into a beneficent act and object of contemplation.

[Title] => Frame your plants in pots
[Summary] => This week Succulentophile gives way to an article with text by John G. Besa and photos by Joey de Castro.
Very few people think about how to enhance the beauty of their succulents through a pot. Most opt for a uniform look to keep their collection looking just that uniform. So there are a lot of growers/collectors out there with lots of beautiful plants in pots that are, well, ordinary.

[Title] => Festival of halal foods
[Summary] => I had this idea, and you probably had it too, that "halal" food only refers to how chicken, beef and goat are slaughtered the "Muslim way." But if you go to the Malaysian Embassy in Salcedo Village, Makati, you will be surprised, as I was, to discover that halal is applied to the manufacture and canning of a vast array of food products from frankfurters (beef or chicken), to fruit juices, coffee espresso, tea, curry paste, canned mechado, afritada, soy sauce and vinegar and cookies and shampoo and skin fresheners.

[Title] => Raul Isidros quest for gilded glory
[Summary] =>
The continuing evolution of veteran abstract artist Raul Isidro has taken an unexpected if serendipitous turn in his on-going exhibition of recent works his 45th solo show to date at the Ricco-Renzo Galleries. In this suite of 25 paintings, the artist invites the viewer to see the aesthetic prominence of gold as an entity, transcending both the subject and image, a distillation of the refinement of spirit that has distinguished his abstractions.
