Duha ka klase ang musikerong Pinoy karon – katong nagtabang pagpalambo sa lokal nga musika (bisaya, tagalog, ugbp) ug katong nanglawgaw lang ug nagduso niini paubos. Asa ka sa duha? Thanks to former Sun.Star colleague Aledel Gonzalez for emailing me about this article.
There’s a place where it is now illegal to die. And the village chief actually threatens his constituents with severe punishment if they drop dead. I’m not sure how punishing the dead can be done. But check it out at http://where dying is a sin.
I’m doing a research on the leader of Cebu’s revolution against the Spaniards in 1898 for a project that’s under wraps for now. Might need your help. You can give me the juiciest, oddest, most outrageous, most intriguing trivia you know of this underrated hero and his soldiers.
Did you know that he and the rest of the Cebu Katipuneros shouldn’t be touched by women lest their anting-antings lose their power? Something like that. If you can include your source, so much the better.
Email your trivia at insoymada@gmail.com or drop it here as comment. A round of Red Horse is all I can offer you in return. Mabuhay ang Rebolusyon!

Previously, a Canadian man was imprisoned for “possession” of three poppy seeds (from a bread roll he had eaten at Heathrow Airport in London) that had fallen into his clothing as he prepared for a flight to Dubai.
