I have always considered myself as someone with a keen interest in history, specifically Philippine history. I certainly do not consider myself as an expert or a scholar but I do consider it a duty. It might sound trite but I believe it is the duty of every citizen to know and understand their nation’s history.

One of the sectors that will lead the Philippine recovery once a vaccine becomes available to the public is tourism because of its direct linkage to economic development.

Another casualty in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is our formal education system. The month of June every year is usually the time when millions of Filipino students troop back to their schools and learn. But because COVID-19 prevents any possibility of face-to-face learning, the Department of Education (DepEd) postponed the opening of classes to August 24, 2020. In addition, it has mandated online schooling in lieu of the traditional classroom setting.
