For The Local Positions
Congressman - Monico with 26000 votes against Novero's 25000, according to latest NAMFREL Quick Count at the Bishop's Palace Information Center as of 2:30 p.m. At the present Canvassing of the COMELEC at BAY Center, Novero leads at around 2200 votes against Monico with around 1500 votes as of 2:30 p.m. It wasn't expected that the congressional race would be as tight as this. Acccording to very reliable sources inside the Monico camp, based on the Election Returns they have received from COMELEC in all precincts, Monico will win by a slim margin of 1800 votes over Novero.

All contending political parties receive copies of the election returns, including NAMFREL which receives the "6th copy" of the Election Returns. NAMFREL Quick counts are based on the tallies reflected on the received "6th copy" E.R.'s. All E.R.'s should bear the same results and any anomalies in one of the E.R.'s for a particular precinct should raise questions to the validity of the votes to be canvassed.

Mayor - Incumbent Mayor Bing Leonardia leaves behind a wide margin of votes against closest contender former Mayor Joy Valdez. It is very clear that Mayor Bing will retain his position as Mayor.

Vice Mayor - Thaddy Sayson is neck to neck with contender Councilor Lyndon Caña, with Elmer Sy on a far 3rd place position. It is projected based on the recent trends and Election Returns that Thaddy Sayson will win Vice Mayor.

These however are NOT YET FINAL and canvassing is still ongoing as of this time at the BAY CENTER, Bacolod.

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

-

Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
