Rizal’s Annotations to Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas Rizal’s interpretation of history with regards to his annotations on Morga’s book makes both a boon and a bane to Philippine nationalism. There were necessary historical assertions being made in his time and purposes but recent educators refuse to see Rizal’s work in the context of modern scholarship. Although most of his historical assertions were being validated by recent research, however, there were eminent…
The Calling Have you left anything? Have you anything left? These are the great questions that needs appraisal. Why, one could wonder what is now happening here in our humble abode called earth. Floods, earthquakes, typhoons, anything you could think to name of these dreadful disasters running wild, leaving millions of damages, loss of thousands of lives along in its wake, making once a green pasture into an untillable land.

The epitome of beauty and mystery Witnessed in your constant inconstancy Perhaps levity heightens thy proverbial looks Herald of serinity emblazoned in books Misty white furballs can't resist thy charms Beguiled celestial stones etched their memories in thine arms Such intrigue is reflected in the streams To sleep I induce thee, in…
