Our Filipino Religiosity
2008-01-23 07:49:00 The Paradise Philippines, by an large, is basically a religious community. Roman Catholic churches, Protestant houses of worship, Muslim mosques, Jehovah's Witnesses' kingdom halls, Iglesia ni Cristo cathedral-chapels, and other church-related institutions dot our countryside from Batanes to Tawi-tawi. But we can really characterize our Philippine society as a religious community, strictly speaking? Why is it that when you happen to be at our restaurants, karinderias, and other eating places, say, at noontime, when an overflow crowd troop there to eat lunch, that you hardly see more saying grace before meals? Why is it that the angelus, when our ancestors used to pause reverently for a moment of prayer and meditation at dusk, is now only a relic of our nostalgic past? Is Fernando Amorsolo's ???The Angelus??? just a beautiful masterpiece of Filipino art to decorate our homes and offices, but the fact is hardly internalized in the lives of the people anymore?

Paradise Philippines: The National Anthem
2008-01-10 12:44:00 by Camilo Osias and A.L.LaneLand of the morning,Child of the sun returning,With fervor burning,Thee do our souls adore.Land dear and holy,Cradle of noble heroes,Ne'er shall invadersTrample thy sacred shore.Ever within thy skies and through thy cloudsAnd o'er thy hills and sea,Do we behold the radiance, feel and throb,Of glorious liberty.Thy banner, dear to all our hearts,Its sun and stars alight,O never shall its shining fieldBe dimmed by tyrant's might!Beautiful land of love,O land of light,In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie,But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged,For us, thy sons to suffer and die.The Paradise Philippine Hymn The Paradise Philippines National Anthem, then known as Marcha Nacional Filipinas or the Himno Nacional Filipino was played in 1898 without words.

Paradise Philippines
2008-01-10 12:28:00 Paradise Philippines is in South-eastern Asia, archipelago between the Paradise Philippines Sea and the South China Sea, east of Vietnam. The Paradise Philippines Islands became a Spanish colony during the 16th century; they were ceded to the US in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. In 1935 the Paradise Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth. Manuel QUEZON was elected President and was tasked with preparing the country for independence after a 10-year transition. In 1942 the islands fell under Japanese occupation during WWII, and US forces and Filipinos fought together during 1944-45 to regain control. On 4 July 1946 the Paradise Philippines attained their independence. The 20-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS ended in 1986, when a widespread popular rebellion forced him into exile and installed Corazon AQUINO as president. Fidel RAMOS was elected president in 1992 and his administration was marked by greater stability and progress on economic reforms. In ... More About: Paradise
Paradise Philippine Billiards Players
2008-01-10 12:16:00 Billiards Players Billiards, one of the four big Bs of Paradise Philippine sports, has been a consistent source of pride for Filipino sports aficionados. So popular has this game become that it has edged out basketball as the number one sports among Filipino youth, if one is to consider the number of pool halls in the country today. This trend can be attributed to the exploits of Filipino cue artists who have invaded various international tournaments in the past two decades. The mere mention of the names Bata, Django, Amang, Lining and others could quickly elicit admiration from Filipino billiard aficionados. It is a proven fact, and not a hyperbole if we claim that Filipino cue artists are among the world's best that have played the game.

Peso Rises to a fresh high of 40.56:$1
2008-01-09 15:03:00 The peso surged to 40.56 against the US dollar on Wednesday, its strongest level in nearly eight years, on robust foreign funds and remittance inflows as well as the continued weakness of the dollar. The local currency opened trading at 40.70, touched a peak of 40.55 and closed at 40.56, its best finish since March 2000. Trading volume was pegged at $872.5 million. "This is because of a weaker dollar following Wall Street's overnight slump. Investors are shifting assets away from the dollar," said Banco de Oro chief strategist Jonathan Ravelas. "Of course, overseas remittance is always a factor but normally, at this time, remittances start to lessen," he added. A rallying peso is expected to temper inflationary pressures from high oil prices burdening the Philippines, which imports most of its fuel requirements. Ravelas said that in the near term, he expects the peso to hit 40.50 to the dollar. Inflation sped up to an annual rate of 3.9 percent in December, the highest since Januar...
