Deocaris, who is a “balik scientist” or a science professional who recently returned to the Philippines from abroad, is spearheading the “Luntiang [...]

There is no shortage of high-end shopping in our city. One of my fave haunts are the well-appointed interiors of B&B Italia. With the opening of Abitare Internazionale, [...]
If not for Fr. Stephen Simangan, military chaplain of the Philippine Coast Guard in Manila, I would not have known that we have 132 priests assigned as chaplains to various military jurisdictions all over the country.
