Marriott's Spirit to Serve Feeds 1,000 People Affected by Typhoon Maring

	Wazzup Pilipinas! Man is basically good. We all want the best for our  fellow men. Our hearts are so compassionate that we would always lend a helping hand in times of trouble or disaster especially when we know we can do something about it. Last September 9, 2013, I was one of the bloggers who were given a chance to cover and participate in Marriott’s contribution to the victims of the recent typhoon Maring that hit Luzon including their neighboring towns here in Pasay City NCR. This is one of the finest and excellent help one organization can give and do because its not just a simple food but one of their specialties, the Paella,  which is more expensive than other known dishes in this country that they have provided to the typhoon victims.

For only Php 1, 549, you and five of your friends can enjoy an all-out sushi buffet with miso soup and an optional bottomless cold or hot green tea! But wait. Isn't that really common in sushi restaurants here in the Philippines?

A Revelation of the Patron Saint : A Review of Paul Dumol’s Lorenzo by Mark Daniel Chan

Wazzup Pilipinas!

“He is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” –Jim Elliot

Paul Dumol’s Lorenzo is many things – it is smart, funny, not what one initially expects and sometimes borderline sacrilegious. It is also a national treasure and a play that should be seen by every Filipino.

Lorenzo centers around a Filipino OFW named Laurence Ruiz who is incarcerated for murdering his employer in the Middle East who raped him. While in jail, Laurence obsesses about his name sake, Lorenzo Ruiz, who was martyred in 1637 in Japan. Being a student of theater and a former production hand, Laurence composes a play in his head in 3 Acts and dictates it to a female visitor who is allowed to visit him on occasion. Laurence does this because he is forbidden to have any writing instruments in prison.

The play is an exploration of the metaphysical, and just as Shakespeare resorts to in a classic like A Midsummer Night’s Dream, much of the action happens in the play within a play. Laurence’s play is brought to life as the action of 1636 and 1637 is brought to life around the jailed OFW’s presence and consciousness on stage.
