“Something is brewing at Makati involving Magdalo.”
This was followed by Ederic’s twit on Trillanes and Lim Walk out of Court Hearing.
Too busy with work or in [...]

A strong earthquake hit Manila at around 12:27 PM, November 27, 2007. It lasted around 5 seconds or so but it was strong. At the second floor of my home, I could see the hanging lights sway. Feeling like the world was going to collapse, I yelled at Lauren who happened [...]
