HELLO, TORONTO!
As heavy rains suddenly poured and the streets of MetroManila were flooded with knee- deep or in some other areas higher waters, my daughter Mhyka was in the final hours of painful labor to give birth to her first son at the Mandaluyong Medical Center. When the rains stopped by evening and while the stranded commuters and pedestrians… Read More »

The High Moral Ground

It is figuratively a shelter of men and women who either work in media or have links with… Read More »
