 OF CELEBRITY FATHERS & THEIR CHILDREN

 
          Seldom do you see celebrity fathers and their children on the covers of magazines, except on special occasions like Father’s Day, or when they are really worth to be on the covers. Here are some of them.

This article, “The Philippines: Land of Earthquakes” is actually an updated excerpt of the 3-Part Special Features article I wrote for MOD Filipina (October 4 to 18, 1991), “The Philippines: Land of Earthquakes and Volcanos” for which I won my first Science & Technology Journalism Award given by the Philippine Press Institute.



“In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city was destroyed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and those who did not die were very afraid and gave glory to the GOD of heaven.” – Revelation 11:13, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.

Bagama’t ipinanganak siya sa Busan, South korea (November 12, 1984), nagpunta sila sa Pilipinas noong siya ay 10-taong-gulang pa lamang upang magsimula ng trading business. Alam niyo ba kung papano siya napasok sa showbix? Noong siya ay 19-taong-gulang, nakilala niya si Pauleen Luna, na noon ay talent pa ng ABS-CBN Channel 2. Inudyukan siya ni Luna na sumali sa ABS-CBN talent survival show na Star Circle Quest. Noong 2004, ganoon nga ang ginawa ni Park at matapos ang talent search, pumangalawa siya kay Hero Angeles. Kabilang sa 10 na lumahok sa 2004 Star Circle Quest ay sina Roxanne Ginoo, Joross Gamboa, Melissa Ricks, Neri Naig, Errol Abalayan, Michelle Madrigal, Joseph Bitangcol at Raphael Martinez.
