I just found this very nice, inspiring and uplifting song in Facebook entitled “We will rise again.” Considering that we have just successfully concluded our first automated elections and that we will be having a new president who promised to stamp out corruption, this song is just perfect for this time of change!

Without doubt, the Cebuanos are the most musically talented among Filipinos. The song is even recorded in our very own Cebu City. It is performed by no other than our very own Cebuano diva, Raki Vega. A good friend of mine who is also my school mate during my high school days (Of course not in medical assisting school), Mr. Marc Hamlet Mercado is the one who did the violin accompaniment. The song is composed by the talented Cebuano composer, Jude Gitamondoc. It is arranged, … [Read more...]

Learning to face and accept the possibility of failure also serves to relax us and unburden us of … [Read more...]
