What's New Today - July 27, 2007

A very happy development is the activeness of our dear Ate Marynat. Didn't you notice that she seems to respond or comment to all the postings recently? Keep it up Ate. Please continue writing!

There are additional pictures of the dinner with Ed. These were taken while skyping (is there such a verb now?) with Danny. Marynat (Ate) was excited because it was her first time to see Danny's bright pate after 40 years.

In yesterday's issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Rex Bernardo of Daet Camarines Norte was featured. He's a polio victim at the age of 6 but has become successful inspite of his condition. He has graduated from the Asian Institute of Management. (There was a picture of him being conferred the degree by Roberto de Ocampo and Ernie Garilao - my former boss at the Department of Agrarian Reform). Without diminishing the honor accorded to Rex, dps-class 67 members know that before Rex, came our Ed Canela... and his achievements are far bigger. Both are from Daet though and we are mighty proud of them!

Other than this news, the rest of the new posts are recycled from the egroup. I hope I'll have the time over the weekend to gather original materials for the blog.

It's the last working day today for those who are on a five-day work week. Have a happy weekend!

World Health Day is observed every year on April 7 to mark the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency whose main objective is to promote "the highest possible level of health" in all people. Coordinating international efforts to prevent, control, and treat illness, it has worked to successfully eradicate smallpox and has made notable strides in checking polio, leprosy, cholera, and malaria. What controversies have surrounded the WHO? More... Discuss

Today's Birthday

Eleanora Fagan, AKA Billie Holiday (1915)

Despite a deeply troubled upbringing, Holiday became one of the most celebrated and influential singers in jazz history. She was also one of its most tragic figures. She debuted in the 1930s and, after performing with Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and Artie Shaw, embarked on a successful solo career. However, she suffered many personal setbacks, complicated by the drug addiction that eventually destroyed her career and hastened her death. How did she choose her stage name? More... Discuss
