The LaSallianI am often haunted with the singular thought that if I knew then what I know now, how would things be different? This mixture of regret and curiosity stems from the month of May. I have gone through five first days and each time brings me back to when all this was still new to…
We walk through the streets of Quiapo, the stench of fish lingering in the air. The road is narrow and full of people, making us sweat on this hot summer day. It doesn’t seem to bother the vendors proffering their vegetables and DVD’s. But we’re not interested in their wares. We make it to the…
The article you are about read is classified. You’ll also find out that it’s absolutely important – and very desperately so.
