MOD Filipina Vol. 24 No. 1074, April 3, 1992
On the cover: Mary Catherine “Pinky” Mejorada |
The article, “Taj Mahal: Fading Memory of an
Enduring Love” (p. 10), I remember I wrote after I read a newspaper article
about “how pollution is destroying India’s historic symbol.
On this MOD
Filipina April 3, 1992 issue, I also wrote the article, “An Eagle Named
Hope” (p.12). This is 25 years ago after the news that the first ever
fertilized egg of the rare Philippine eagle bred in captivity through artificial
insemination was hatched. The eaglet was name Pag-asa (Hope). NOTE: In the article, President Rodrigo Duterte was
mayor of Davao City, and it was mentioned that he made a pledge to donate
100,000 pesos from his discretionary funds for Pag-asa. The popular Astig
President was already in my article 25 years ago!

The events written in this Celebrity World cover story, “Flowers and Contemplations for Flor
(Contemplacion)” (pp.8-9), happened more than 22 years ago, when an injustice
was committed to a Filipina in Singapore, a nation supposedly known for its
democratic ideals. It
was aptly supratitled “Eulogy for a Martyr,” because the Singaporean court of
justice literally made her a martyr when they imposed the death penalty on an
innocent housewife.
“Happy is the person who trust the LORD, who
doesn’t turn to those who are proud or to those who worship false gods. LORD my
God, you have done many miracles. Your plans for us are many. If I tried to tell
them all, there would be too many to count.” – Psalms 40:4-5, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.
