No Bio, No Boto

The 2016 presidential elections is fast approaching. Have you registered to vote? We were able to register my eldes son and reactivate my wife’s voter status by going to the Comelec’s Satellite program this afternoon, which was held at the CW Home Depot along J.

So go out there and register and if you are already, vote...

Chairman, lika angkas ka sa akin. See how you like...

It is such a tragedy since this death could have been avoided so easily. It will be a long time before we see such talent again. Our condolences go out to his family and his fans. Here is a feature about Maico done by GMA News a couple of years back....

Dansoy Coquilla and the View from Above
