Planning to Visit the Philippines Soon?

There are hundreds of tourists attractions in the Philippines. But as a lover of the Island of Marinduque (Home of the Morions and Heart of the Philippines), I am indeed partial to its beauty, charm and its friendly and hospitable residents. Therefore, help me achieve my dream of seeing this island becomes a world tourist destination, by telling all your friends and relatives about this site. Welcome, to you all, new readers and faithful followers of this site! The photo above is Poctoy White Beach in Torrijos, Marinduque with beautiful and majestic Mt Malindig in the background. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringing your copyrights.

My Favorite Quotes on Pride, Humility and Empathy for Others

My Favorites Quotes on Pride, Humility and Empathy for Others

During my recent Sunday mass on TV I was reminded during the short homily on the importance of humility in our lives. The priest celebrant short sermon on TV discussed the differences between pride and humility.

The homily also reminded me that Macrine(RIP) and I have taught our children kindness, humility and empathy for others by our examples. Have you taught your children these traits? If you did, my congratulations. 

The following articles(link) are examples of what Macrine(RIP) and I have done to show kindness, humility and empathy for others.
