Happy and independent, is the Filipino?

How timely! A triumphant Fil-Am donning the PH flag-at-war during the 28th SEA Games in Singapore! Whoever stitched that on, must have been inspired by the honest mistake of the website of the Office of the President’s in May 2011!

The call of Pope Francis turned to cash.

Posted on January 16, 2015January 19, 2015 By Ms. Mike Portes 20 Comments on The call of Pope Francis turned to cash.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine Jesuit of Italian bloodline, assumed the Papacy as Pope Francis on March 13, 2013 and it has never been the same for the Catholic faith as the refreshing messages on unity, humility and respect transcends religious boundaries.

Posted on May 1, 2014May 1, 2014 By Ms. Mike Portes 13 Comments on Minsan may Isang Puta
