Dolphins are among my favorite animals. When I was still in high school and college, I used to collect every bits of information and trivia, and magazine and newspaper clippings I could find about these extraordinary creatures. From these I came up with two articles for Celebrity World September 12, 1994 issue.

“So GOD created sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abound, according to their kind..... And GOD saw that it was good.” – The First Book of Moses Called Genesis 1:21, Holy Bible, The New King James Version.

One of the cover articles, “How to Teach Your Children Virtue” (p.39), a re-written article, and though shortened from the original write-up, is still timeless in what it imparts. SEE August 14, 2017 post.

Setyembre 12 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

          Noong Setyembre 12, 1896, matapos paghuhulihin, ikulong at pahirapan, labing-tatlong Filipino ang ipinapatay ng pamahalaang koloniyal ng mga Kastila malapit sa timugang muog ng Fort San Felipe sa Cavite. Ang kanilang mga bangkay ay isinakay sa isang kariton at inihagis sa isang libingan malapit sa bayan ng Caridad. Sila ang kinikilala sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas na Labing-tatlong Martir ng Cavite.

          Isang araw matapos ang kaniyang ika-64 na kaarawan, noong Setyembre 12, 1981, sa pamamagitan ng Letter of Instruction No. 1161, naglaan si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos ng isang bilyong piso bilang pondo ng Kilusang Kabuhayan at Kaunlaran (KKK). Malaki ang naitulong ng programang ito upang mapababa ang halaga ng mga bilihin at maibsan ang malaking gastusin ng mga mamamayan lalo na ang mga mahihirap.
