EXPECT a nostalgic, fun-filled Independence Day Celebration at SM City Iloilo on June 12!

Patriotism and Filipino pride will have an exciting twist as we take pride in the Pinoy hits of the 70’s, the era that brought about legendary artists like VST and Company, Hotdog, Hagibis, among others.

The activity will start with a parade of employees, mall personnel, tenants and civic organizations. The Iloilo Kaffer Club will add flavor to the event as they join with their colorful Volkswagens in the parade.

The formal program will then start at the front covered walk near the main entrance of the mall.  SM City Iloilo Mall Manager Girlie Liboon will formally welcome all the participants which will be led by no less than Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog, along with other guests from the private and public sectors.

Local performers will conquer the stage to set the 70’s party mood to hits like Saranggola ni Pepe, Mr. Dreamboy, Annie Batungbakal and other songs that defined the ‘70s era.

A photo booth will be situated at the front covered walk starting June 6, 2012, wherein shoppers can have their pictures taken with a prototype of a Sarao jeepney, a famous brand that defined Philippine society.

Groove to hits of the ‘70s and celebrate Filipino pride only at SM City Iloilo.

Many reputable analysts were saying the Vice President had a cold sweat when election returns trickled in and most likely the feeling turned worst when the outcome was concluded. A good lesson in life can be learned from this. Read more...

HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY

Gospel Reading: John 16,12-15

TO SPEAK of the Most Holy Trinity may come to some as something reserved only to priests, religious men and women, and students of Theology. It is popularly seen as something totally out of this world or completely detached from the realities of the present life. Read more...

The marginalization of Filipinos in our conflict with Taiwan

By: Efren N. Padilla

IN THE aftermath of the fatal shooting of a 65-year old Taiwanese fisherman allegedly poaching in Philippine waters with his boat crew, our overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Taiwan have borne the brunt of the backlash. Our OFWs have been threatened from being fired at work and deported.  Lately, they have been warned to stay home and not to venture outside for their safety from local reprisals. Read more...

Perennial irony

NATY “MORALES” never heard or read about the Marcoses, Estradas, Binays and Ampatuans wresting election victory. She is a 53-year-old beggar, who looks a haggard 80. What matters is even leftover food, she shrugs. Read more...

Matter of flowers

By: Modesto Sa-onoy

This month is considered in the Philippines as the month of flowers. We do have Flores de Mayo which I partly wrote about last Monday in relation to the annual tradition of the Santacruzan.

I was struck by a quotation from Kuszuko Ukahora which was cited in the main frame during the photo exhibits by the Digital Photography and Imaging Society which opened at Robinson’s Place last Monday as well. Read more...
