MICHEAL KEON DOESN'T GO FOR THE PUREGOLD
Remember that Laoag Elementary School that was about to be demolished? Well, it wasn't. A last minute local heritage protection ordinance was passed by Ilocos Norte Governor Michael Keon and the building still stands. It hasn't been completely saved yet. An assesment and a hell of a lot work still has to be done but at least it's a step in the right direction.
And remember that irritating PRO-LIFE rally that I was worried about? Well, apparently it kinda fizzled out. My friends over at DKT (Manufacturers of Trust Condoms and Pills) - the END STOP of this "Jericho March" said that the protesters never showed up!Some notes from my friends over at
"Hi Carlos, thanks wishing all of us at FRENZY condoms well... as to the "rally"... what "rally"? I guess they din't get their required number... it just reaffirms what the surveys and studies have been telling us all along... Filipinos from all walks of life want access to modern contraceptive products (condoms, pills, injectables) and a better reproductive healthcare system for the Philippines. Be well."
"Carlos, They never showed up. but we have giant streamers at the office saying "Reproductive health saves lives" and "Yes to Reproductive Health" should they decide to come by again."

And a really interesting article in BURN magazine about teenage pregnancy in the Philippines by Lisa Wiltse.
