CanadaDEAR MUNTING NAYON,
ELECTION IS HEAR AGAIN AND CANDIDATE IS ASKING US TO VOTE FOR THEM FOR THEY SO CALLED PROGRESS OF THE NATION.
HOWEVER, I AM NOT LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES BUT MY FAMILY IS STILL THERE AND AS I SEE IT THE NATION IS NOT PROGRESSING. THERE IS STILL LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN POVERTY SPECIALLY THOSE FARMERS IN REMOTE AREA.
I BELIEVE WE SHOULD LET THEM DECIDE WHICH CANDIDATE IS REALLY HELPING THE COUNTRY OR THE PEOPLE. WE DON'T EXPERIENCE THERE LIFE. OUR LIFE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY IS DEFERENT.
WE SHOULD NOT INTERFERE ON THERE BEHALF. THE NEWS WE RECEIVE FROM ABROAD IS ENTIRELY DEFERENT. WE DON'T REALLY GET THE REAL PICTURE OF LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THE ACTION OF THE POLITICIANS.
PLEASE LETS BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE ARE CONSIDER A FOREIGNERS AND WE ARE NOT SUPPOSEDLY VOTE FOR THE POLITICIANS WE DO NOT KNOW.
WE ARE GIVEN PRIVILEGE TO VOTE IN THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN. IS THAT NOT ENOUGH FOR US, BECAUSE WE ARE INSIDE THERE TERRITORIES. THAT IS OUR RIGHT AS WE LIVE THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN.

CAN A MARRIAGE CONTRACTED BY PARTIES WHO ARE BETWEEN 18 AND 21 YEARS OF AGE BE ANNULLEDAndrew and Paz were sweethearts since they were in their early teens. Everything was perfect for the two lovers except for that fact that her parents never did approve of their relationship. After her 18th birthday, Paz’s parents flew to Canada as immigrants. It was agreed that Paz would temporarily stay with her aunt Linda and she would follow once she finishes the semester. This situation gave Andrew an almost unrestricted access to her girlfriend’s house as Paz’s aunt worked the night hours as an ICU nurse in Makati Medical Center. This unrestricted access allowed Andrew to stay in Paz’s residence where they spent long hours playing” house”. To make the long story short, their “house playing” eventually led to Paz having the early morning sickness and being a medical professional, it did not take Linda long to add two and two together....

Message from the Oblation
Whether or not it’s a fig, laurel or cloverleaf that is covering the model’s private parts when we look at the Oblation in front of the UP Administration building in Diliman or whether or not it was Tolentino’s student Anastacio Caedo or Fernando Poe Sr. who probably posed as model is immaterial.

Dear Jose
When we relate to other people, it is but natural to adapt different versions of yourself. One cannot openly say “ P*tang Ina” in front of one’s mother, or it would be quite unnatural to greet a peer by making “mano po”. With the collection of letters that Rizal exchanged, different aspects of his personality come out. Rizal kept all the letters that he received because “through them he wanted to study the character, temperament, transformation, and intellectual tendencies of his friends and countrymen” (Viola 324). So we do the same now to him.
In a letter, addressed to Trinidad Rizal, Rizal fits into the role of “Kuya”. He tells of his adventures in Germany and his impression of German women who are not afraid of men and are more concerned with substance than with appearances. So like any kuya, he encourages Trining to form the habit of studying, so as to adorn herself with substance. He ends the letter asking her to write him back in Spanish....

THE BANGOSThe bangos or milkfish ( Family: chanidae, Genus: chanos, Species:chanos chanos ) is a national symbol of the Philippines and synonymous with the town of Hagonoy. Whenever you mention the town of Hagonoy in the province of Bulacan, to persons unfamiliar with the town, they would readily say, is that the town where there are lots of bangos, lots of fishponds ? The bangos from Hagonoy has a good reputation for its taste, not like the variety from someother place that reeks of gilik or burak and reedy smell and taste....

Update Issue - February, 2008NAGBABAGONG KLIMA SA PILIPINAS, nitong nakaraang dalawang buwan nagsisidaing ang mga naninirahan sa Baguio dahil sa tindi ng ginaw, 8-sentigrado. Di pa umano sila nakadanas ng pangangatog sa ginaw. Dahil hindi naman nangyayari ito, walang central heating ang mga bahay. Suot daw nila ay patong-patong at nakabalabal ng makapal.

Si KakaAng pagkamatay ng isang ama ay nangangahulugan ng pagkawala ng pinuno ng isang tahanan. Sa kanyang pagpanaw ay natural lamang na may pumalit sa kanya bilang isang puno na namamahala at nagsasakripisyo, bilang isang haligi na nagbibigay ng tibay, bilang isang modelo upang upang maging isang halimbawa. Sa pangkaraniwang pamilya, iyon ay ang anak na panganay na lalake. Sa aming pamilya ay iyon si Kaka, hindi lamang dahil sa siya ang panganay kung hindi dahil sa siya ay nagtataglay ng mga maka-amang katangian....

Thank you „Munting Nayon“ for your initiative in publishing background information about the different personalities running for national presidency this coming May 2010. I personally consider your articles about them for us Pinoys overseas, for it is a big help in decision-making/selection of candidate[s], to campaign for him or for them, at least, within the family limits, or in the neighbourhood, friends circle or maybe even more, why not? Trust and competence is very important and the personal background is very relevant to know -his age, educational background, working experiences, CRIMINAL OFFENCES, international exposure and merits and other professional advancements, contibutory to the national interest and progress of the Philippines and welfare of the Filipino people, especially the majority who are suffering from poverty and deprived of proper education.
Muntin Nayon Newsletter is very interesting, informative and enjoyable to read. Thank you and congratulations!
