21.09.24 0728H | Tandang Sora
Attended a paint seminar in GT Stoneworks and it was pretty exciting, mainly because I haven't been in any workshop for quite some time now. Great to learn applications of new products in the market. Being in the construction industry, there's always a new trend that we have to keep up on.

2215H | Default Cafe Pub, Malate, Manila
After my workshop, I went to Malate to meet with my boy bestie to attend this Friends for Sale event that they had. Syempre ako ang seller. I still have the PowerPoint presentation in case someone wants a really sweet 5'10 chef who will give you the princess treatment. Dm nyo lang ako, forward ko deets ni dzaddiii hahahaha.
And ofc my girlie wanted to come kasi we were still playing that taguan ng feelings game at the time hahaha. Syempre ang ending, naging besties sila (they met that night) and I became the third wheel.
Mid pic is of us downing our free shots for participating in the event.

0245H | Cafe Roo, Malate, Manila
Antok na si chef so he went home after samgyup. My girlie and I walked some more and went to Cafe Roo. Syempre ayaw paawat, kahit 22 hours awake na by this time, I still ordered black coffee hahaha.
There's also a couple of kids selling roses downstairs so I got her two, bawal three kasi platonic lang daw kami hahaha. Pero nag holding hands kaya she noticed my nails have grown longer, and I hate to stereotype pero pareho kami may dalang nail cutter hahahaha. She clipped my nails and I find it very cutesy, not to mention extremely gay.

Post originally from: Tinig ng Plaridel (Facebook) - Translated to English
PHOTOS: Various indigenous groups and Indigenous Peoples (IP) rights advocates gathered at the College of Social Work and Community Development (CSWCD), University of the Philippines: Diliman to commemorate the life and legacy of Bai Bibyaon Ligkayan Bigkay yesterday, June 5.
One of the first female leaders of the Manobo-Matigsalog tribe, Bai Bibyaon is famous as a defender of the rights of women, youth, ancestral lands and nature.
The program features cultural performances from various groups, with the goal of continuing the messages and legacy left by Bai Bibyaon. "May his eternal legacy be a beacon to the Lumads and other natives," said Eufemia Cullamat of the SANDUGO alliance.
In 2017, the UPD CSWCD honored Bai Bibyaon with the Tandang Sora Award for his fight for the rights and welfare of the Lumad.

Guardians of Freedom: The Stories of Philippines National Heroes
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b4749e5440724f0899ccd9adabc768ea/df81e9b2b8514e7c-21/s540x810/b28c7fb82d8e30a9cfe35c460a60e73c4fc8d217.jpg)
In the Philippines, national heroes are revered figures who have significantly contributed to the country's history, Independence, and cultural development. Here are some prominent national heroes along with thei contributions and courage:
1. Dr. Jose Rizal: Known as the national hero of the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal was an opthalmologist, writer, and revolutionary. His novels, "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo", criticized Spanish colonial rule and called for reforms, inspiring the movement for Philippine Independence. His martyrdom in 1896 sparked a nationwide uprising against Spanish colonization.
2. Andres Bonifacio: A key figure in the Philippine Revolution, Andres Bonifacio was the founder of the Katipunan, a revolutionary society that aimed to overthrow Spanish rule. His leadership and bravery in mobilizing the Filipino people to fight for freedom were instrumental in the fight for Independence. He is known for his decisive and courageous actions.
3. Emilio Aguinaldo: Emilio Aguinaldo was a military leader and the first president of the Philippines. He played a crucial role in the Philippine Revolution against Spain and later in the Philippine-American War. Aguinaldo declared Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898, marking country's assertion of sovereignty.
4. Melchora Aquino ( Tandang Sora): Known as the " Mother of the Katipunan", Melchora Aquino provided support to the revolutionaries during the Philippine Revolution. Her courage and commitment to the cause made her a symbol of maternal strength and patriotism.
5. Gabriela Silang: A revolutionary leader and the first female revolutionary leader in Philippines history. Gabriela Silang continued the resistance against Spanish rule after her husband, Diego Silang, was assassinated. Her leadership and bravery made her a notable figure in the fight for Independence.
6. Apolinario Mabini: Known as the " Sublime Paralytic", Apolinario was a key advisor to Emilio Aguinaldo and a revolutionary thinker. Despite his physical limitations, he played a pivotal role in the Philippine Revolution and the early days of the Philippine Republic.
7. Diego Silang: He was a revolutionary leader in Ilocos region during the 18th century. He is best known for leading the Ilocano revolt against the Spanish authorities, known as the Silang Revolt. Diego Silang's revolt was driven by opposition to the oppressive Spanish policies, including high taxes, forced labor, and abuses by local officials.
In 1762, during the British occupation of Manila, Diego Silang saw an opportunity to push for Ilocano Independence. He declared the Independence of Ilocos from Spanish rule and established the "Free Ilocos" advocating for self-governance and autonomy. Silang's bravery and charismatic leadership inspired many Ilocanos to join his cause. Unfortunately, his rebellion was short-lived. He was assassinated in 1763 by a trusted companion, Miguel Vicos, who was bribed by the Spanish. Despite his untimely death, Diego Silang's legacy of resistance and courage continued to inspire other revolutionaries, including his wife, Gabriela Silang, who took up the cause after his assassination.
These heroes, among others, are celebrated for their significant contributions to the country's history, their courage in the face of adversity, and their enduring legacy in the fight for Philippine Independence and national Identity. Each hero's life and story reflect the broader struggle for freedom, justice and national pride.
Thank you for reading. Until next time, salamat and see you soon!

Women fighters, in fiction and in reality, have always fascinated me.
I grew up never getting tired of The Mummy Returns (2001) and its action-packed adventures. It features one of my most favorite cinematic moments: the fight scene between Nefertiri and Anck-su-namun, both tasked to be protectors in the kingdom of Egypt some 3,000 years ago. One may think they must be ahead of their time for training women for battle and assigning such tasks to them.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3e1c4b69fc97ec5c7b5040ba1836a966/13f385a2115296ff-d0/s540x810/b5ceb367003c1ee8a0e739120a1f32a0669f23c9.jpg)
Fight scene from The Mummy Returns (2001)
There are many other scenes in the said film showing both women as their 1930s reincarnation, Evy (Nefertiri) and Meela (Anck-su-namun), fighting with and among men. Not once did Rick, Evy's husband, handed over guns to her to help them battle the enemies and save their son. Their kind of relationship was yet another reason why I have always loved that film.
Seeing The Mummy Returns again for the nth time, I figured these female characters have played a significant part in my upbringing. They showed me women can fight, too, when it was most needed. They didn't have to be the stereotypical damsels in distress waiting to be rescued because they can save themselves while saving others, as well. In retrospect, at such a young age I knew I wanted to be like them. I wasn't very much into the princess thingy, except for the Xena the Warrior Princess kind. In fact, I once dreamed of becoming like the Power Rangers with all their skills and stunts.
Through the years, I have been learning more about Filipinas who left their mark in our history. In an era of a patriarchal society where women were reinforced to be homemakers & deemed as the lesser sex, there were several of them who strayed against the conventions and took part in the never-ending fight for freedom.

One of them was notorious for polishing her nails and putting on red lipstick before going to battle, because she believed she also fought for the freedom to be herself as a woman. Another one used to be a movie superstar until the war. She joined the guerrilla movement to avenge for her husband's murder, and in the process she saved an entire village from being killed by the colonizers.

But the courage of Filipina women in history has been witnessed not only at home and in the battlefield. There were women who stood up for their right to receive formal education and their right to vote.

Clockwise from left: Melchora Aquino AKA Tandang Sora (from Wikipedia); Josefa Llanes-Escoda (from Bayaning Filipino on Blogger); Maria Orosa (from Orosa Family); and Dr. Fe del Mundo (from National Academy of Science and Technology)
There were women who continue to fight for justice and for their right to be heard, not just as victims but survivors of a violent, tragic past.

Atty. Leni Robredo, former Vice President of the Philippines (From Esquire Philippines)
And before I forget, I was raised and surrounded by strong women who all the while face their own share of battles in life.
We as women are fighters, and we should never let anyone tell us otherwise.
Meanwhile, I believe I have arrived at a full circle. I may haven't reached my dream of becoming a Power Ranger but who would have thought that as an adult, I would portray a woman fighter myself?
Happy Women's Month!

Ang dami sigurong kwento ng mga kalsada ‘no?
naisulat noong Enero 23, 2025
Una kong naisip yan nung narinig ko yung “the streets” ng MATOKI, nakaka lss lang kasi talaga yung “i know these streets by heart” sa chorus. 2023 Noong nakilala ko girlfriend ko, 825 Extremadura Street Sampaloc Manila, Rabbithole pa yun noon. Album launch ko nun, at plus one siya ng mutual friend namin. Noong panahon na niligawan ko girlfriend ko, madalas ako sa recto at gastambide, sinusundo ko siya at minsan hinahatid ko rin. UE pa school niya noon at ako naman nasa UST, kayang lakarin. 1pm-7pm pasok niya at ako naman 8am to 4:30pm. Hinihintay ko uwian nila, tambay muna ako sa Rabbithole tapos kapag pwede na siya lumabas, pupunta na ako sakanya. Pabor sakin yun, syempre makikita ko girlfriend ko at makakaiwas sa rush hour dahil tandang sora pa yung uwi ko.
Noong mga panahon na yun madalas kami talaga sa u-belt at quezon ave tumatambay. Ang dami naming kwento sa Gastambide, Recto, Espanya, at Santo Domingo Church. Sa Gastambide niya ako sinagot, sa Santo Domingo ko siya hinahatid para sa tricycle niya pauwi at kung susunduin man siya ng tatay niya.
Pag tapos ng highschool, syempre hindi na ganun ka-gaan ang lahat. Nag college ako, siya naman nag work. Noong mga panahon na di pa ako natatanggap sa UP, natanggap na siya sa trabaho niya sa Maginhawa at dapat mag UST convservatory of music ako at mag shishift sa Philosophy. Una kong naisip is hindi na ako makakapunta sakanya palagi, hindi na walkable distance namin sa isa’t isa. Kaya laking tuwa ko noong natanggap ako sa UP, dream school ko, oo pero natuwa rin ako na walkable pa rin distance namin. Biniro ko pa siya noon na sinusundan ko talaga siya at hindi ako papayag na paglayuin kami. Ganun kabilis lang, ang Gastambide naging Matimtiman, ang Espanya naging Maginhawa, ang Recto naging Katipunan
Noong October ng 2024 bumalik kami ng girlfriend ko sa Espanya, para i-visit ang bar kung saan ginanap album launch ko at kung saan kami unang nagkakilala, naging dahilan rin ito dahil magsasarado na yung venue sa end of the month at gusto namin mag date sana dun ulit bago magsara ito. Binisita namin mga lumang pwesto namin sa Espanya at Gastambide. Inisip namin na “sino na kaya naka pwesto sa mga spot natin noon?”. For old time’s sake, binalikan namin ito. Walang nakatambay dun, atin pa rin yan kahit anong mangyari, pinapahiram lang natin sakanila. Dating gawi, bili ng Milo Overload sa Gastambide, upo sa pinaghihintayan namin ng jeep sa Espanya, tingin dun sa ukayan na may tindahan talaga at dun sa ukayan na sa likod lang ng suv naka set up at tambay sa Rabbithole kung saan kami unang nagkakilala.
Tulad ng mga kalsadang ito, walang nagbago sa amin. Siya pa rin yung masiyahin, maganda at matalinong babae na nakausap ko sa labas ng bar at nakaupo sa bangketa ng Extremadura. At ako pa rin yung lalaking puro biro, may hawak na pilsen, at nabibighani kung bakit may magandang babaeng kumakausap sakanya. Sa totoo lang, hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin nababalot utak ko na meron akong ganito. Bayani siguro ako noong una kong buhay para maging karapat dapat ako sa babaeng katulad niya.
Ang dami sigurong kwento ng mga kalsada ‘no?
Buti na lang, kasama kita sa byahe.

21st CENTURY LITERATURE - ANALYSIS
Under my Invisible Umbrella by LAUREL FANTAUZZO
"Under My Invisible Umbrella" by Laurel Anne Fantauzzo explores the complexities of identity, privilege, and cultural intersections through the lens of a Filipino-American returning to her motherland. Fantauzzo reflects on the tension between her American upbringing and Filipino heritage, navigating the challenges of belonging in a place where she feels both at home and like a foreigner. Her pale complexion and Western accent grant her privileges not extended to others, illuminating the persistent societal bias toward whiteness and affluence in postcolonial contexts.
The essay’s titular umbrella symbolizes this privilege, offering her literal and metaphorical shelter while underscoring the disparities between her experience and those of working-class Filipinos. Through vivid anecdotes, Fantauzzo paints a compelling picture of her uneasy position—welcomed yet distinct—from the hospitality of her relatives in Tandang Sora to the stark class divisions witnessed at an elite party in Forbes Park. Her humor and vulnerability make these observations deeply relatable, balancing self-awareness with moments of cultural critique.
Fantauzzo’s conversational tone brings warmth and accessibility to her narrative, which invites readers to reflect on identity, privilege, and systemic inequities. Her writing illustrates the struggles of those living in cultural liminality, offering a nuanced perspective that celebrates the richness of hybridity while confronting its challenges. Ultimately, "Under My Invisible Umbrella" is both a personal journey and a broader commentary on societal structures, resonating universally with those who navigate the complexities of belonging in multiple worlds.

In “Under My Invisible Umbrella,” Laurel Fantauzzo navigates the complex realities of being Filipino-American in the Philippines, exploring privilege, identity, and the enduring impact of colonialism. Through vivid personal anecdotes, Fantauzzo examines the disquieting dynamics of race, class, and belonging.
The essay opens with a symbolic act in Olongapo: a man shelters her from the rain with an umbrella, soaking himself in the process. Fantauzzo recognizes that this deference stems from her light skin, which represents privilege and foreign status. This incident encapsulates the societal hierarchies she confronts, revealing how race and perceived wealth grant her unearned advantages. Her feelings of shame and discomfort for being “dry” while others are “soaked” set the tone for her reflections on privilege.
Fantauzzo recounts numerous instances where she receives special treatment because of her appearance and accent. Whether being waved past security, using exclusive facilities, or receiving deferential service, she illustrates how privilege manifests in everyday interactions. Her experiences highlight the lingering effects of colonial structures that continue to favor whiteness and Western influence. This privilege stands in stark contrast to the struggles of her working-class relatives in Tandang Sora, who strive for better lives with limited opportunities. Fantauzzo contemplates how different her life would have been had her mother not secured a scholarship and moved to the U.S., an uneasy reminder of the social mobility denied to many.
While visiting the elite enclave of Forbes Park, Fantauzzo grapples with her complicity in perpetuating systems of privilege. Surrounded by wealth and power, she feels conflicted—desiring both to belong and to resist the injustices that such spaces embody. The juxtaposition between the privileged partygoers and the waiting bodyguards outside underscores the stark class divide in Philippine society.
Fantauzzo’s reflections are interwoven with the recurring motif of umbrellas, symbolizing the fragility of protection and the disparities faced by ordinary Filipinos. In one poignant scene, she finds herself momentarily equalized with strangers during a storm, all seeking shelter together—until her privilege reasserts itself when a guard offers to help her alone.
Ultimately, Fantauzzo’s essay is a candid exploration of privilege, belonging, and the challenges of reconciling two worlds. It invites readers to reflect on how colonial legacies and social inequities shape identities and relationships in the modern Philippines, urging empathy, understanding, and a reckoning with uncomfortable truths.
