To Commemorate EDSA

Last night, Fr. Caluag con-celebrated a Mass for the 25th Anniversary of the People Power Revolution. It was one of those masses where there the congregation was made up mostly of choir members. Sad =(

When he, together with some Pnoy supporters, launched the "Pagbabago Movement" 25 weeks ago, I expected the 25th Anniversary mass to have the same number of followers. If that was any indication of how people remember EDSA, then people need frequent reminders.

In the words of Fr. C, "We first need to REMEMBER before we can CELEBRATE. We need to recall the blessing and the grace that God has given us that made the Revolution a success."

Present during the mass was the very image of Our Lady of Fatima that was used during the Revolution. It was said to be carved in Portugal according to the specifications of Sister Lucia. Hearing the history behind the image of Our Lady gave me goosebumps.

The image is now under the care of the Dominican Brothers. There are plans of bringing the image all over the Philippines.

I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones: Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3. I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote. You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki. I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets. I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
