I am mulling over the idea of transferring my blog from blogspot to wordpress...  hmmmmmm

Volunteers at work!

During the Special Elections held at different Municipalities in Lanao del Sur on June 3, 2010, I was invited by an instructor (and a good friend) to be part of LENTE and volunteer as their photojournalist to cover the said event.


Excited of the adventure i might face, I never hesitated and joined the Team!


LENTE or LEgal Network for Truthful Elections, A 67-man team delegation was sent to monitor the said election. The team comprised of nine lawyers, paralegals and law students from various law schools like Ateneo de Manila, Ateneo de Davao, Cor Jesu, Xavier University, Mindanao State University - Iligan and Marawi. Former Senator Santanina Rasul was also part of the LENTE delegation. (From Ate Jane torreon)


I was the only Under-Grad Guy in the team... I am just thankful that most of them are friendly and I didn't end up being always left behind:D


My greatest thanks to Prof. Salic "Exann" Sharief who invited me to join this activity, Indeed I enjoyed the Experience and learnings I had; To the LU (Lumbaca Unayan) Team: Atty. Bo, Ate Jane, Ate Mitch, Ate Tin-Tin. Ate Jam, and Kuya Al; And to All the LENTE volunteers in Lanao< Kudos and god bless you all!


Here are some photos they took and I was always being caught in the Act!


The LU Team!

Sulu Hidden History: the Spanish-built Walled City

Image
By Ahmad Musahari Free lance Writer anakiluhmd@gmail.com What is the use of knowing the history of other countries if you don't know your own country's? This is my sole impetus of studying little by little the almost-forgotten history of one of the magnificent Sultanate of all seas: the Sulu Sultanate, my homeland of course! But even though my few researches have only reached few results as well, I am still nevertheless excited to share what I have discovered; small pieces of puzzles are parts of a big picture. This blog is about one of my great adventures in finding the remaining historical landmarks in Sulu (even us Tausugs never knew it was there!) Join me, lets explore once more and find out where the smallest WALLED CITY is! (PS: as you can remember, I have blogged about the "Moro Consciousness week" wherein I promised to fill in the entry about the 'walled City' in Sulu. And here it is: a promise is still a promise ;-) link ==================
