Flores De Mayo (Oh yeah It's MAY!!!)

Everyday in the month of May, children are gathered to take part of seminar, culture study and prayer offering in our little chapel here in our subdivision. The adult offer food for the children who gave their time for Mama Mary. It is a tradition, it is in our culture. But what is Flores de Mayo?

Flores, from Spanish flores or "flowers," also known as Flores de Mayo (flowers of May), Flores de Maria (flowers of Mary) or alay (offering), may refer to the whole Flower Festival celebrated in the month of May in honor of the Virgin Mary .



Why is the Philippines Poor

Time for some reflection:

Why Is The Philippines Poor?

Dear Friends,

Here is a good article sent by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur , Texas ..
Enjoy reading.

THE DIFFERENCE

The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:

This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt , that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.

On the other hand, Canada , Australia & New Zealand , that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.

Pambansa Series # 2: Lupang Hinirang

Ayon sa ating mga textbook, si Julian Felipe ang kinikilalang umakda ng Lupang Hinirang, ang ating pambansang awit. Isinulat niya ito umano bilang Marcha Nacional Filipina (http://filipiniana.net/read_content.jsp?filename=PRR017000001&page=1&epage=1)
Ang mga titik naman ay kinatha ni Jose Palma. Inilimbag ito ng pahayagang Pilipino La Independencia.

Ang orihinal na tula ni Palma:

Filipinas

[i]Tierra adorada
Hija del sol de Oriente,
Su fuego ardiente
en ti latiendo está.

¡Tierra de amores!
Del heroísmo cuna,
Los invasores

Pambansa Series # 1: Mango

( :) As the first in a series of posts about the Pinoy in PinoySpy, I thought of showcasing the Philippine National Symbols. I hope this continues until June 12, or whenever the Hobbit decides to warp the holiday.)

The Mango

The Mango, this fruit known scientifically as mangifera indica, is called the National Fruit of the Philippines. It is also claimed by India, Bagladesh, and Pakistan.

Rice Shortage Ba Talaga?

Lately laging laman ng news ang shortage daw sa bigas na isa sa mga pangunahing pagkain ng mga Pilipino, in my opinion wala naman eh, kung meon man hindi ganuon ka-grabe. The problem is,it is not properly "DISTRIBUTED", maraming hoarders at kurakot na tinatago ang supply ng bigas, Meron pa nga ngayong mga fast food at restaurant na "rice all you can". What is your thought about this mga ka-spy?

Pilipino... talunan! Part 2

Hay naku..... ito na naman tayo.... talunan!

Isipin nyo na lang bawat Pilipino... nangangailangan ng lupa na masasakahan, matataniman ng pagkain, ng matatayuan ng bahay...

Pero ano ginawa ng gobyerno natin?... binibinta na pala ang Pilipinas! SPRATLY... FOR SALE!

Dahan-dahan binibinta bawat isla ng Pilipinas... dati nang may nakuha ang malaysia sa atin...

Ngayun naman ang china at taiwan.... dahil ba takot tayo sa china?

Ang lapit lang ng spratly sa pinas kumpara mo sa china at taiwan...

Isipin nyo na lang na may likas na yaman pala tayo na hindi tayo ang nakikinabang....

The unique Pinoy wit

Before this blogger takes a break for the Holy Week, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of unique Filipino witticisms from The Asian Journal a publication put out by west coast Filipinos. Definitely the entries pack a mean wallop. I hope you agree with me.

1. The sign in a flower shop in Diliman called “Petal Attraction.”

2. “Anita Bakery”

3. A 24-hour restaurant called “Doris Day & Night”

4. Barber shop called “Felix The Cut”

5. A bakery named “Bread Pitt”
