Sulong Pilipinas! Sulong G1BO!

How can the country ever move forward if we continue to reward and extol mediocrity? 

To perpetuate a brand of politics that was borne out of vengeance, attrition and division? 

Why do we continue to allow people who run because of genetics rather than actual merit? 

Are we going to allow money and popularity buy the Presidency? 

NO. 

IS THIS THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE OR IS THIS THE MERE CONTINUATION OF AN AIMLESS AND CORRUPT POLITICAL TRADITION ?

Let's wake up as a country and put the leaders that we truly deserve. 

The choice is a clear - A vote for G1BO is a vote for the future of our country. POSITIVE CHANGE IS HAPPENING. 

My countrymen and women, we need leaders that inspire us. A leader that can not only point us to the right direction, but help us get there. 

We need leaders that unify us. Leaders that give us hope. Leaders that can truly move the country forward. Like many of you, I am tired with the muckraking and atrocious mudslinging- I am tired with the politics of hate, politics of "them" and "us". 

For once, let us put leaders that fuel our optimism and drive to be a greater nation.

SULONG!

35th Las Piñas Bamboo Organ Festival

35th Las Piñas Bamboo Organ Festival, Philippines

"For the 35th year of the Bamboo Organ Festival a large number of musicians from the Philippines and around the world came to perform alongside this amazing instrument from February 18-24, 2010. I had the pleasure of seeing the organ played by internationally acclaimed Swiss organist, Guy Bovet. He started the concert by explaining that since the organ was built by a Spaniard but came from the Philippines, it has a character and a sound which reflects both cultures and proceeded to play both Spanish and Filipino compositions. Bovets knowledge of the Bamboo Organ was reflected in his playing as he created moving and astonishing music while demonstrating the range of the organ. During Bovets version of Pakitong Kitong we were able to hear one of the things that makes the Bamboo Organ even more unique as it can make a sound like chirping birds."

The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, The Catholic University of the Philippines.

Unibersidad ng Santo Tomás) , is a private Roman Catholic university run by the Order of Preachers in Manila. Founded on April 28, 1611 by archbishop Miguel de Benavides, it has the oldest extant university charter in the Philippines and in Asia and is one of the world's largest Catholic universities in terms of enrollment found on one campus.

The only Pontifical University in Asia and UST is the only university, Catholic or not, to have been visited by two popes three times: once by Pope Paul VI on Nov. 28, 1970, and twice by Pope John Paul II on Feb. 18, 1981 and January 13, 1995

The Manila Chinese Cemetery (華僑義山) is the second oldest cemetery in Manila after La Loma Cemetery and was designated as the resting place for the Chinese citizens who were denied burial in Catholic cemeteries during the Spanish colonial period. The cemetery was witness to many executions during World War II. Among them were Girl Scouts organizer Josefa Llanes Escoda, literary geniuses Rafael Roces and Manuel Arguilla, star athlete-turned-guerrilla spy Virgilio Lobregat, and Chinese Consul General Yang Guangsheng. Apolinario Mabini was also buried in the cemetery before his remains were transferred to Batangas.

The Basilica Minore de San Sebastián, better known as San Sebastián Church, is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Manila, the Philippines. It is the seat of the Parish of San Sebastian and the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

Completed in 1891, San Sebastián Church is noted for its architectural features. An example of the revival of Gothic architecture in the Philippines, it is the only all-steel church or basilica in Asia. It has also been implausibly reputed to be the first prefabricated building in the world, and more plausibly claimed as the only prefabricated steel church in the world.

In 2006, San Sebastian Church was included in the Tentative List for possible designation as a World Heritage Site. It was designated as a National Historical Landmark by the Philippine government in 1973
