Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon, issued Proclamation No. 109 moving National Book Week to November 24-30. Quezon echoed what Governor General Frank Murphy said and I quote, "IT IS DESIRABLE THAT THE TASK OF AROUSING A WIDER SPREAD INTEREST IN THE READING OF GOBOOKS BE RECOGNIZED AS A HIGHLY PATRIOTIC DUTY AS WELL AS A PRIVILEGE."

He added that "the reading of good books on the printed page is one of the most effective methods of bringing enlightenment within the reach of the largest possible number of people, and of promoting the cause of popular culture with its tremendous social benefits.

I believe that a brilliant mind is a by-product of a good reading habit of excellent books written by prolific writers who were excellent readers themselves.

Isagani Cruz, columnist writer of the Philippine Star said, "There are three ways to celebrate books this month. One is to attend some of the activities scheduled by various organizations and agencies. Another is to buy or borrow two or three books and read them. The third is to write a book.

I salute my compatriot book readers and all book lovers around the globe. At the same time remind others that an unmarked books is a sign of an unread books.

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.

Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
