Protect Yourself and Your Children from Dengue

On the cover: Jolina Magdangal ang her mom Paulita

I’ve written several articles on “dengue” for different magazines. This one, “Protect Yourself and Your Children from Dengue,” was written 17 years ago.

“The kind of fasting I want is this: Removed the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed go free. Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless poor. Gives clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives. Then my favor will shine on you like the morning sun, and your wounds will be quickly healed. I will always be with you to save you; my presence will protect you on every side. When you pray, I will answer you. When you call to me, I will respond.” – The Book of Isaiah 58:6-9, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.

The trumpets will remind the LORD your GOD of His covenant with you. I am the LORD your GOD.” – Numbers 10:10, Holy Bible, New Living Translation.

Olivia Newton-John (for the film Xanadu),
on the cover of Photoplay (October 1980).

Picture Trivia

          In 1980, Olivia Newton-John declined the role offered to her in the film Can’t Stop the Music by the Village People, and instead made the film Xanadu. Unfortunately, Xanadu, which was expected to launch Newton-John as a solo star didn’t make good in the American box office.
          The title of the film Xanadu was derived from the name of the summer capital of Kublai Khan’s Yuan Dynasty in China. This was taken from the poem of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) Kublai Khan.
