An almost perennial annual problem in the Philippines – “Flood!” Read the article I wrote for MOD Special Feature 24 years ago.

Picture Trivia

The TV series Games of Thrones, created by David Benioff and Daniel Brett Weiss, and first aired on American television on April 17, 2011. It is an adaptation of George Raymond Richard Martin’s fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, which in turn got its inspiration from the English “Wars of the Roses” (1455-1485) between the houses of Lancaster and York, reflected in the novel’s houses of Lannister and Stark.
