Disyembre 3 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

          Noong Disyembre 3, 1621, nagsimula ang himagsikan sa lalawigan ng Bohol na pinamumunuan ng babaylang tinatawag sa pangalang Tamblot, laban sa pagmamalabis ng mga paring Jesuit. Nang mabigo ang mga misyonaryong Kastila na himukin ang mga katutubo sa Bohol na magpabinyag sa ilalim ng Katolisismo, ginamitan nila ang mga katutubo ng dahas at pagmamalabis. Dito hinamon sila ni Tamblot na patunayan ang lakas ng pananampalataya ng mga dayuhan. Nagbigay ng dalawang hamon si Tamblot sa mga paring Jesuit. Una ay magpalabas ng sinaing at alak sa isang piraso ng kawayan at ang ikalawa ay magpaulan sa katanghaliang-tapat. Nagawang gawin ni Tamblot ang mga ito samantalang nabigo naman ang mga pari. Pinagbintangan si Tamblot na gumagamit ng panlilinlang sa unang pagsubok, samantalang sa ikalawa ay kampon daw siya ng demonyo. Dalawang ulit na sinalakay ng mga Kastila kasama ang mga Cebuano ang Bohol subalit naitaboy sila ng mga katutubong pinamunuan ni Tamblot. Nagtagumpay lamang ang mga Kastila nang pataksil na pinaslang si Tamblot ng isang nakikipamayang pari sa Loboc, Bohol.

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.”
