Buntis Baby Bag Project Update No. 8: Saying Thank You to the Donors.

-

There are still supplies left to be given away, thanks to the continuing support of our sponsors and donors. I must thank Rommel Abaja and family for donating 1 sack of rice. At the same time, the students of the Premed Society of USLS have also donated another box of baby stuff to be given away. So far the following are the new recipients of the Green Bags:

Joselyn Mangay, Brgy. Haba, Baby Boy
Judith Cabahug, Brgy. East, Baby Girl
Myleen Panugaling, Brgy. Banga, Baby Boy
Elian Bating, Brgy. Banga, Baby Boy
Merlinda Escosan, Brgy. West, Baby Boy
Marilou Tabaculde, Brgy. Agboy, Baby Girl
Cristy Padilla, Brgy. Haba, Baby Girl
Milcah Elumba, Brgy. East, Baby Boy
Mary Joy Escamilla, Brgy. Cabia-an, Baby Boy
Jenle Pamposa, Brgy. West, Baby Girl


I am hoping that there are mo sponsors who will be willing to donate grocery items, baby clothes (either old or new), diapers, multivitamins, etc. I am hoping that this project will continue throughout the year.

There are still mothers, especially in one village, who still would opt to deliver their babies in their homes. But when they heard about the project, some of them were motivated to go to the health center and have their babies delivered. One example is the woman in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It-R-tDntjk) who was very thankful for having received a green bag containing baby diapers, canned goods, noddles and 1 kilo of rice. Even our far-flung barangays have also decided to go to our health center and have their babies delivered.

Thank you sponsors for your generosity.

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...
