‘Allah Valley’ at mga Lumad
Wala pa ring katulad. Ang langit, isang karagatan ng asul. Nakakalat ang malabulak na mga ulap na minsa’y naghuhugis ayon sa lawak ng imahinasyon. Ilang dipa na lang ang layo nito sa lupa, halos abot kamay na ng mga tao. Pinapagitnaan ng bulubundukin sa kanluran at silangan ang mga sakahan ng palay at mga tirahan….

Horror Story in Denmark: ‘I think I just experienced racism’
Oct. 27, 2016 Dear Airbnb: A few weeks ago, I just experienced the worst Airbnb stay in my life. In just a span of three days and two nights, I have been humiliated, discriminated and talked down upon as a Filipino. I think I might have experienced racism too. Here’s my story. On October 7,…
If You Want to Study Abroad
International students bring in £10 billion to the United Kingdom each year, according to estimates from the British Council. I am part and parcel of that economic drive, thank you very much.

Manobo: Dugo sa Lupaing Ninuno
“Mag-ingat kayo sa mga Manobo. Hindi edukado ‘yan. Lolokohin lang kayo ng mga ‘yan.” Iyan ang unang babalang natanggap namin sa muling pagtungtong namin sa Mindanao ngayong Agosto.

The Treasures of Turkey
Days ago, a suicide bomb blast killed 10 people at the heart of Istanbul. The attack targeted Sultahnamet Square, an old district flocked by thousands of tourists everyday. It was the latest in a series of bombings that rocked Turkey in recent months. I stayed in Turkey for 15 days last October to attend the United Nations Convention…
There Are Places I Remember
The year 2015 began with a sharp turn in my outlook. I was a pathological skeptic, and enjoyed being on my own in my little world of doubts and questions. I was determined to change some of those things. When my high school best friend and roommate asked me to climb a mountain with his friends,…
Very French
News reports presently paint a different picture of Paris, one of the world’s most visited cities.
