Today is Republic Day. It is not, however, Philippine-American Friendship Day which ended up abolished in the late 1980s. Today marks 75 years of independence for the Philippines. Image
On this day 75 years ago the world finally recognised Philippine independence; the transitional Commonwealth of the Philippines became the Republic of the Philippines (officially our third). Image
In the early 1960s a decision was made to move independence day to June 12, w/ July 4 as Republic Day (for the Republic of India theor great national day is Republic Day). How Philippine-American Friendship Day came and went is told in this briefer too. malacanang.gov.ph/4230-republic-…

Ang unang reaksiyon nila: halos tumambling sa kasiyahan dahil patay na siya. Hindi naman kagulat-gulat; mismong si Rizal, pagkatapos barilin, ayon sa isang saksi, may mga Pilipinong tumawa at pumalakpak sa Luneta. Ang kahit kaunting kabutiran sa isang tao ay nakakasilaw kung...
tutuusin, kaya mas mainam na lang magkalat ng lagim; sa dilim pare-pareho tayong pangit at pare-parehong puwedeng magkunwaring magaling, kahit sarili lang natin ang maniniwala. Heto ang sinabi ni Teodoro M. Locsin bilang paliwanag sa tindi ng galit ng iilang Pilipino kay Ninoy...
Pero ang layunin ng thread na ito ay hindi upang ipaliwanag ang buod ng buhay ng isang yumaong pangulo kundi dalhin ang usapan sa isang bagay na kailangan pag-usapan: ang diskurso natin tungkol sa mga taong may kapansanan, at sa pangaalaga nila, at ang mentalidad nila at ng mga..

Yesterday my obituary of Benigno S. Aquino III was published; I hope you will take some time to read it, as well as other reflections by members of my speechwriting team. Here is what I wrote: spot.ph/newsfeatures/t…
The Filipino and English thoughts and experiences of Mikael de Lara Co, who was my deputy speechwriter, head of the Correspondence Office, and a poet. rappler.com/voices/thought…
The candid views of Gian Lao who began as a drafter of correspondence then became one of my speechwriting team: and the first among us to put pen to paper in response to the President's passing. news.abs-cbn.com/ancx/culture/s…

For a man who loved music so much, even official music had to withstand his scrutiny. Three pieces you may have just heard as his remains were laid to rest. A thread.
1. "We Say Mabuhay," composed by Tirso Cruz, Sr. Presidential anthem since the Quezon administration; played whenever the president arrives at a venue, as a welcome. Performed with preceding ruffles and flourishes by the PSG Band. chirb.it/CHwcaD
2. "Parangal sa Pangulo," composed by PSG bandleader Maj. Xavier Celestial to be played when military honors are rendered the president; first adopted under Pres. BSA3; performed by the PSG Band. chirb.it/Mxeyyh

Organizing thoughts on #CommunityPantryPH, a thread. A semi-deep dive into our increasingly remote yet still recent past. We have to go back to a dozen years of mutual aid in times of emergency: the intersection of local need community response and social media: Ondoy...
Back then it was a crash course in applying modern methods (from communications to data-gathering/sharing/logistics) to source donations and distribute them as well as communal kitchens to provide hot meals. This has been increasingly refined and government even became reliant...
