Mali ang theory ko na kada 7 months nag-uupdate ang Google Earth.Last night habang nagmamark ng mga lugar sa Wikimapia nakita ko na lang na may nadagdag na naman sa mga high resolution na lugar.Ang Catanduanes na dati wala, clear na ang Virac at western portion ng isla.Halos buong probinsya ng Albay din.

I just want to thank those who are still faithful at coming to my humble place in the web despite my lack of updates. Unlike my previous job, this new job of mine doesn’t provide me an opportunity to blog at all. Every second counts.

Probably, it’s all because I am a newbie - pretty much learning the ropes till now. It just hurts my head sometimes.

Real (in defense of the Bikol writers)

Author: Victor Dennis T. Nierva    Original Source: Click HERE    Views: 328

25 05 2008
IN Alec Santos’ feature article last week, “Bikol Oral Narrative—surviving the odds,” we were informed of the exemplary efforts of Ateneo de Naga University professor Dr. Cyril Conde in preserving Bikol oral literature.

Indeed, efforts [...]Read the rest of this entry »
