The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas: I envy the people who study here. It is the oldest university in Asia, and being that, it has honed a lot of important people in our history. Its former students include former Bulacan Governor Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado, former President Diosdado Macapagal, and our national hero, Dr. José Rizal. It is also the alma mater of the only prime minister of Spain with Filipino blood, Marcelo de Azcárraga Palmero.

Bulacan Hymn (March and Anthem) Makulay na Bulakenyo Lyrics (Tagalog and English)

  The lyrics posted in this page were hard to find. I found them on Scribd, and was forced to create a free trial to access the lyrics. I decided to copy the lyrics here and post the English translation. Bulacan is a province in the Philippines adjacent to Pampanga in the West, Nueva Ecija in the north, and the National Capital Region in the east. It is located in the Region III, Central Luzon. LYRICS in Tagalog: Makulay na Bulakenyo Bulacan Hymn (Song and March) Salubungin ang silahis ng araw Buksan ang puso’t diwang bayani Tumingala sa langit na bughaw O magiting na Bulakenyo Ibandila ang gintong pamana ng lahi Mabuhay ang lalawigan Singkaban, sining at kalinangan Mabuhay ang sambayanan Mabuhay ang Bulacan! Singkaban. Pulilan, lumuluhod na kalabaw Plaridel, kabayong nag-uunahan Bocaue, pagodang lulutang-lutang Paombong, sasahan ng kayamanan Guiguinto, halamanan ng lalawigan Obando, sayawan ng kahilingan Mabuhay ang sambayanan Mabuhay ang Bulacan! Singkaban Hagonoy, likas sa yam...

McDonald's Apalit, Pampanga, Philippines

  McDonald's Apalit, Pampanga, Philippines     You can now dine outside at McDonald's Apalit in Pampanga, Philippines. Though as we can see, the people of Apalit prefer to eat inside in the air conditioned portion of McDo, if all the seats inside are taken, they might as well eat outside, especially at night with no burning sun, while the cool night breeze blows and under the magical lights installed by McDo.     McDo is surely a big restaurant with a big name. And people are trully enthusiastic about their famous meals made available in Apalit.

Christmas Celebration in the Philippines (Calumpit, Bulacan) Mulpitac, Buracan

  Christmas Celebration and Decoration in a Small Rural Town Back in December 28, 2014, I wrote an article about Christmas in Calumpit, Bulacan, Philippines. The link to it doesn't work anymore, as it is a very old article and it has no visitors. I wanted to repost it here. The original link is https://hubpages.com/holidays/we-found-christmas-in-calumpit under the pen name Tanara Lee. Children of Calumpit town in the Philippines light candles for Virgin Mary's statue The land of true love is still keeping faithfully the Christian traditions passed down to them by the Spanish priests in the year 1572, when they first docked in the town. One can see the joy in the faces of the people as they sing through masses and hear words of sheer love flowing from the mouth of their parochial priest. And although Christmas may not originally have been a Christian tradition, it was Christianity that introduced it to the people of this town, and they do celebrate it as very zealous Christians...
