It’s strange how the people who decide to abort are the ones who’ve been allowed their birth.
One will not have the right of choice, if she was not let to live.
I recently heard the statistic that more people were killed through abortions in the US, than through all the wars in the history of time.
An American was complaining about the "Filipino sense of time." I didn’t have the defense then. But soon realized I didn’t have to have one. Countries and peoples have different sets of values. We are all different, and there isn’t anything wrong with that.
I rarely tajke a trip outside Manila when I go home to the Philippines. I go there not to tour but to just be with my family and friends.
Because more beautiful and amazing than any spot in Boracay and Bicol is the kindness of the people who greet you at the airport, restaurants and stores. There’s just a genuine, almost innocent way of dealing that Filipinos manifest in social settings.
Truly, the tourist spots of the Philippines are the Filipinos. And they’re here, there and everywhere.
Woody Allen once said, "90% of success is just showing up." For me, more than anything "Your presence is the present."
Because the most important gift of all is just being there.
