THE BEAUTY AND GRACE OF PHILIPPINE FOLK DANCE

FOLK DANCE IS A FORM OF DANCE DEVELOPED BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT REFLECTS CERTAIN CULTURE, TRADITION AND BELIEFS.

FOLK DANCE IS A GREAT EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. IT IS EASY TO LEARN BUT ITS STYLE AND ELEGANCE WILL NEVER FADE AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER EVEN BY NEW GENERATION.

WE CONSIDERS FOLK DANCE AS A UNIQUE HERITAGE OF OUR PEOPLE. IT IS EMBEDDED IN OUR CULTURE AND PRACTICE BY OUR PEOPLE EVERY TIME WE HAVE SPECIAL OCCASIONS REMINDING US HOW RICH WE ARE IN TERMS OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE.

WE SALUTE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, THE CITY DIVISION SCHOOLS OF QUEZON CITY, THE DIFFERENT PRIVATE SCHOOLS, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT OF QUEZON CITY, THE SANGUNIANG KABATAAN OF QUEZON CITY LED BY SK FEDERATION PRESIDENT/ COUNCILOR DE GUZMAN FOR TAKING PART, ORGANIZING AND HOSTING THIS KIND OF ACTIVITIES.

WE, FILIPINOS ARE VERY UNIQUE PEOPLE AND ONE OF A KIND. SOMEONE SAID, "THE PHILIPPINES BECOME THE WEST -TEMPERED EAST".

WHETHER THE DANCE IS CHA-CHA, BALLROOM, BALLET OR FOLK, WE FILIPINOS CAN DANCE TO THE BEAT.

LOOK AT THE POISE OF THESE DANCERS ! WOW! FANTASTIC!!!

IN THIS KIND OF FOLK DANCE, REFLECTS THE DUEL OF TWO GREAT WARRIORS WHO FIGHT IT OUT TO THE END WHERE VICTOR'S ACCLAIMED HIS GREATEST PRICE THE WOMAN HE ADMIRED MOST.

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY, AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE. I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL.

The Blooded Shoes Cries Again (updated)

Last December 5, 2011, I wrote an article on Gensan Bombing that killed 14 innocent people and injuring around 64 people. The blooded shoes of the innocent victims cried for justice. Just recently, America mourns for the victims of Mass Shooting incident in Las Vegas that killed 58 people and injuring around 489 people. The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States. According to the Section of Washington Post : The Math of Mass Shooting, the death toll change, the places change and the faces in the memorial photos change every time, but the weapons are the common denominator. Mass Killings in the United States are most often carried out with guns, usually handguns, and most of them obtained legally.
