MORO VILLAGE

MINDANAO


A vintage postcard of MINDANAO,  probably a village around Lake Lanao. This was auctioned by L&J Bonsay Antiques and Collectables that I bid.  But someone has outbid me.

I only joined the bid hoping to win this simply for a sentimental reason, being a former resident there.

BANDILA: WATAWAT NG KALAYAAN

12 June 2024


Hahabol talaga si Manang Inday.  

The short verse below was recited by me during a July 4th, Philippine Independence Day at Karomatan, Lanao del Norte (Mindanao) during the Community Independence Day Program after the Parade. Wala pang entablado noong araw. Ginawa nilang makeshift stage was a long sturdy table fitted with microphone stand and a speaker. I remember my late father in his crisp military uniform watching me in the audience as I delivered my micro speech with joy on his face. 

I love that memory. 

Pilipinas Kong Mahal, que pasa?

Posted at PSCS 


Kahit di maganda ang takbo ng panahon ngayon, binabati ko ang Pilipinas na binigyan ako ng kalayaan na makalayas sa bansang nagpapahirap sa amin. Yong serbisyo ng Tatay ko sa bansa binale wala, di binigyan ng halaga at ang buhay sundalo ay wala palang kakwenta kwenta. Matira nga ang matibay. Sorry at ma prinsipyo si Papang. Mga beterano nag self help na lang para mailibing na may dignidad.

PILIPINAS KONG HIRANG

12 June 2024





The Philippine national anthem, known as "Lupang Hinirang," was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe with lyrics written in Spanish by José Palma. It was officially adopted as the national anthem in 1956.

The anthem reflects the patriotic spirit and love for the homeland of the Filipino people. Its solemn melody and poignant lyrics evoke a sense of unity and pride among all Filipinos. Over the years, "Lupang Hinirang" has become a symbol of Filipino identity and resilience, especially during times of struggle and triumph.

The history of the Philippine hymn is deeply intertwined with the country's journey towards independence and sovereignty. Its significance lies not only in its musical and lyrical composition but also in the emotions and values it represents.

PAINTIMG: ANTIPOLO

06 June 2024
Lifted from Selyo Pilipinas 
 


Antipolo by Carlos "Botong" Francisco

Siya ay isang tanyag na Muralista mula sa Angono Rizal ginawaran ng Pambansang alagad ng sining ng Pilipinas sa kategoryang Visual Arts....

Si Francisco ay isang pinakakilalang practitioner ng pagpipinta ng mural sa loob ng maraming dekada at pinakakilala sa kanyang mga makasaysayang piraso. Isa siya sa mga unang Pilipinong modernista kasama sina Galo Ocampo at Victorio C. Edades na humiwalay sa romantikismo ni Fernando Amorsolo sa mga eksena sa Pilipinas. Ayon sa restorer na si Helmuth Josef Zotter, ang sining ni Francisco "ay isang pangunahing halimbawa ng linear na pagpipinta kung saan ang mga linya at contour ay lumilitaw na parang mga ginupit.

In keeping with My Stamps & Postcards Today  

I remember the program long decades ago which promoted "TANGKILIKIN ANG SARILING ATIN." 

Meanwhile the brainchild behind it lived in the lap of luxury surrounded by their "BRAND-IES".

Pearls in Philippine History

⚪️The Pearl of Lao Tzu (1934), The Palawan Princess (2009), and The Pearl of Puerto Princesa (2016) are three of the world’s largest natural pearls, all discovered in the Philippines.

⚪️In his last poem, “Mi Ultimo Adios” (1896), Dr. Jose Rizal addressed the Philippines as the “Pearl of the Orient Seas”. 
(Adios, Patria adorada, region del sol querida,
Perla del Mar de Oriente, nuestro perdido Eden!)

⚪️"Perlas ng Silanganan" was mentioned in the very first line of our national anthem, Lupang Hinirang.

⚪️The pinctada maxima oyster and south sea pearl are depicted on the reverse side of the Philippine New Generation Currency Series 1,000-peso bill.

⚪️President Fidel V. Ramos issued Proclamation No. 905 on October 15, 1996, declaring the Philippine Pearl, also known as the South Sea Pearl, as the National Gem of the Philippines.
