Elections 2013

It’s Elections Day! And just few hours ago, I have finished fulfilling my role and right as a bona fide citizen of the country. LOL!

To our better judgment, I and my family decided to head to our voting precincts this afternoon. People are normally flocking in the mornings. So half past three, we went to the nearest elementary school in our barangay (where our precincts are). We were quite worried because of the numerous depressing stories we kept hearing the whole day. And when we arrived at the school, voila, the sweaty crowd, multitudes of traysikad (small three-wheel local cabs) and habal-habal (public utility motorcycles), and the whiff of fine dust greeted us.

Another GenSan Talented Kid will be Featured by Ellen Degeneres

The Generals would have another reason to celebrate and get excited about as a talented kid will grace an American TV Show. Yes, once again, Ellen Degeneres invited another General – Aldrich Lloyd Talonding – to sing in her show.

“Last week I saw this video of a young singer. He’s from the Philippines. You gotta see this kid, amazing,” Ellen said. She later said, “How beautiful is that? It’s that soul in that little boy. So, I’m looking for you. Please come here and sing to me and all of my friends here. You are amazing!”
