[Title] => The Christmas tree
[Summary] => I shall never forget the day I met Mang Serafin Aguilleras many years ago. He was a tall man with a shy demeanor selling these scrawny Christmas trees without a pine scent. The trees reminded me of my brother Robert. He used to scare me to death by putting the caterpillar-looking pine needles in my hair when we were children during trips to Baguio. But I stopped to look because they were real. That afternoon, Mang Serafin and I sat for a long time trying to make the trees more attractive.

[Title] => Wish granted: Cops get computer for Christmas
[Summary] => It was a Christmas wish come true for Malabon City policemen, who had desperately wanted an upgrade of facilities at the station where they worked.
"Our Christmas wish was granted," an officer at the Malabon City Police Station Investigation Branch said.
A few days ago, Malabon police investigators complained about the lack of basic equipment such as computers or even working typewriter. The lack of equipment made processing of papers difficult, they said.
