Pinoys overseas remember ‘Sendong’ victims amid Christmas rush

MANILA, Dec. 26, 2011—Even as families have been busy with Christmas preparations and the get-togethers on Christmas Day itself, the many who perished in the flooding in northern Mindanao – as well as the families they left behind — are not being forgotten by fellow Filipinos, even those living overseas.

“We’re including those affected [by typhoon Sendong] in our nightly Rosaries,” said homeschooling mother Stef Patag, who has been living in the United States with her family for 25 years and whose children lost no time in offering to shell out their own money to donate to the victims once they learned about the tragedy.

Romancing/Romanticising the Sangkaka

I do not know whether I should be rejoicing that the “Sangkaka” is now “malled.” But I would continue writing and investigating its provenance and temperament the same way I would devote time to Chilean and South African wine. After all, to write about the lowly “Sangkaka” is infinitely more rewarding and gratifying than struggling with the death of a General and the overrating of a day called Valentine’s Day.
