Nobyembre 23 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas
Noong Nobyembre 23, 1898, isang lupon na binubuo ng 10 katao at pinamumunuan ni Felipe Agoncillo ang naglunsad ng paghahayag sa buong daigdig ng kakayahan ng mga Filipino na bumuo at pamunuan ang sarili nitong malayang pamahalaan kaalinsabay ng pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga pamahalaan ng America, Australian, England, France at Japan. Datapuwa’t habang ito ay ginagawa, pataksil na nakipagkasundo ang America sa Spain at nilagdaan ang Treaty of Paris (December 10, 1898). Sa halagang 20-million dollars na binayaran ng America sa Spain, binitawan ng mga Kastila ang pag-angkin sa Pilipinas at iba pa nitong koloniya sa kamay ng mga Amerikano.

Nang umaga ng Nobyembre 23, 2009, naganap ang kalagim-lagim na Maguindanao Massacre (na tinatawag ding Ampatuan Massacre). Dinukot at pinatay ang 58 katao, kabilang ang 34 na mamamahayag, sa Ampatuan, Maguindanao. Ito ang itinuturing na pinakamalagim na pagpatay ng mga sibilyan sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas mula ng matapos ang Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig.

Picture Trivia
Many fashion experts would say that
the peak of the Supermodel Era happened between 1991 and 1997. Majority
considered Kate Moss as the “last true supermodel” of this era.
Moss is one of the most controversial
supermodels. In a sense, she is not the typical supermodel that fashion critics
expect to see. She’s extremely thin, not that tall, with gapped front teeth,
and looks like a cross between a child and a grown woman. Amid all these, Moss
had what is called the “X-factor” and with the help of fashion guru Calvin
Klein, they introduced to the world the “waif look” which became the trend guide
of fashion designers of the 21st century.
