Two years ago, on a late afternoon, tour operator and performance artist Carlos Celdran was arrested for reportedly interrupting Mass in Manila Cathedral to stage a protest against priests and bishops interfering with the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill.
For the second straight year, TEDxDiliman, a locally hosted version of the popular TED conference, will take place on September 15 at the Malcolm Theater of the University of the Philippines in Diliman.
Becoming a cultural activist was not Carlos Celdran’s original career plan. But this performance artist, now represented by Silverlens Gallery, became famous for the tour program he established in 2002, “Walk This Way,” which later received a thumbs-up feature in Time magazine (2005).
This March is a memorable month for many families because it’s graduation time! We have two graduates ourselves, Annika completing grade school, and Athena heading for Grade 1 in June. Like all milestones, graduations are times for celebrations.
