Wow, listening to the Philippine National Anthem makes me feel so proud to be a Filipino.
I went early to the municipal hall this morning and chanced upon their Monday flag raising ceremony. Complete with a band and most employees of the municipio, it was really a lovely site to see.
Paying taxes, one of our duties and responsibilities as Filipino citizens. I pay our realty tax every January of each year. I was just surprised the tax on lots increased by almost 10%. I was told that they increase every three years. Considering the many, many projects and improvements that our good town mayor is initiating, I guess it is okay. Our town has been the overall number one in all towns in the Philippines for three consecutive years now. In terms of improvements and the way it is run, I could not really complain. We are lucky to have elected a very responsible and industrious town mayor.
Kudos Mayor Kit!
Lovely feel good post Arlene.

You are lucky if your National Anthem is a good one, Arlene. Our ‘God Save The Queen’ is a miserable-sounding song that almost nobody likes.
Best wishes, Pete.

At least Elizabeth. I can’t speak for the national level though, there are lots of things not right in my eyes.
