TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS KOMIKS COVERS

 

          I tagged it “Traditional Christmas” because most of us know that December 25 is not really the day of birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It’s the wrong day, month and year of beginning. Christmas around the world, however, have been observed for centuries on this day.

          Daily, weekly and monthly publications follow the same the tradition, and their covers speak of the annual event.

Ang Grandparents Day


Isang pagbati ng “Happy Grandparents Day”
(Iginuhit ni Dennis G. Dayao) ang itinampok
sa taklob-pahina ng Philippine Panorama
(September 12, 2010).

          Alam niyo ba na bukod sa karaniwang Mothers Day at Fathers Day ay mayroon ding Grandparents Day? Ito ay nagsimula noong 1978, nang ipoklama ni U.S. Presdient Jimmy Carter ang ikalawang araw ng Linggo ng buwan ng Setyembre bilang “Grandparents Day.” Ang pag-aalaala sa mga lolo at lola ay mula sa pagsisikap ng isang maybahay sa Fayette County, sa West Virginia, na nagngangalang Marian McQuade, na naglaan ng kaniyang panahon para sa kapakanan ng mga matatanda sa mga nursing homes.

          Sa taong 2012, ang Grandparents Day ay pumatak sa araw ng Setyembre 9.

Picture Trivia

Oprah Winfrey on the covers of Entertainment Weekly (September 9, 1994)
and People weekly (September 9, 1996).

          Oprah Winfrey is considered as one of the most influential women in the world. Her biography is full of “sad” experiences, though it is one of the most extraordinary “rag-to-riches” stories. Noteworthy are her contribution in the field of broadcast media and her being a philanthropist. Her opinions are highly valued by her viewers and because of this any products she endorsed are well-received by the viewing consumers. Any products she mentioned in her show that she likes do well in the market. Any person she introduced in her show as “extraordinary” eventually becomes well-known and successful. Even books that are virtually unknown become bestsellers once she picked it to be part of her “Book Club.” This has been termed as the “Oprah Effect.”
