Happy Independence Day my fellow Filipinos! I asked some people if they still feel proud to be called a Filipino and they gave me mixes replies. Yes and no. The no is mostly due to the state of the economy and the government that we have. How about you? Do you feel the same way?

I am not sure if there’s a law already or ordinances passed in different cities but smoking in public places are already being discouraged. I heard that those who will be caught smoking in public places including outside buildings, aboard public vehicles, in hospitals, will be penalized starting with a 500-peso fine escalating to jail [...]
