                    [Summary] => The worst news we read last weekend was that the Philippine economy will even grow even slower than Bangladesh in the next two years. This was according to International Monetary Fund report. Since the Spanish times, the Philippines was second most economically-developed country next to Japan. This, of course, was due to the galleon trade which turned the Philippines into the entrepot between what was the very first world trade. It took the martial law regime of Dictator Marcos to turn our economy from the strongest next to Japan to the second poorest after Bangladesh.

                    [Summary] => Mothers are the most sacred things in our lives. That is why we have Mother’s Day. The oldest Mother’s Day celebration was Mothering Sunday, commemorated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is the day when the Pope blesses the golden rose and children feast on mothering cakes. A bunch of violets was the symbol for Mothering Sunday and it was the traditional gift that children presented to their mothers. The custom is said to have originated from the tradition of visiting the Mother Church on that day. To schoolchildren, it meant a holiday that they spent home with their mothers.

                    [Summary] => 

Last Friday, President Estrada vowed that his administration would give
unwavering support for major education projects that seek to elevate the
country's public education system to a competitive world-class standard. This
pledge was given after the inauguration of the P10.5-million division office of
the Department of Education, Culture and Sports in San Jose, Antique, a project
that is part of the P16.9-billion Third Elementary Education Project (TEEP).
What is commendable about the TEEP is that it is a multiproject program for the
country's 22 poorest provinces.
