AklatangPambata.org Going Strong
Apologies for the corny title as titles have always been my waterloo, but at any rate, it’s fairly apt. AklatangPambata.org, a Quezon City based NGO whose goal it is to establish libraries across the country, is run by Troy Lacsamana, a multi-awarded librarian and among the recipients of the top 5 HSBC Volunteers in Person…

(Just Barely) Over The Hedge
Up to the time I decided to write this, I couldn’t figure out whether I liked this movie. It was lunchtime, I was famished, and I chose to watch it while munching on a Burger King Junior Whopper, regular fries and Coke, so maybe I was distracted. Or maybe it’s because it’s a movie with…
