WHILE sorting donated books to be put on sale for a charity event called Their Books last week, I felt I had to post the following advisory in our event’s Facebook page:

Their Books would like to advise donors to make sure no personal documents are included in their donations. Their Books has found diaries, planners, photo albums and similar items carrying information about the owners’ finances, family woes and failed relationships. Although grieving over the death of a pet dog and having a jerk for a boyfriend are a universal experience, some people might find other uses of these pieces of personal information.

A NEWS item that came out in this paper last Sunday had me googling the words “videoke” and “killings.” Just when I thought videoke violence is nothing but media exaggeration caused by a dearth of newsworthy events on weekends, this story about a stabbing inside a videoke bar in my hometown of Pinamungajan convinced me the Aquino administration should now create a task force to investigate videoke killings in the country.

TSINELAS is now accepting book donations for the next THEIR BOOKS. THEIR BOOKS 2 will be held on the third week of September as part of the 2009 Press Freedom Week celebration. Unlike last year when most of the donors were personalities from the media, the art scene and friends of Tsinelas, THEIR BOOKS 2 will also include books donated by news sources, politicians and other prominent personalities in Cebu.

ug sa dihang di na ganahan manguli ang mga participants. ing-ana kanindot ang music video workshop niadtong sabado ug dominggo.

Magpasalamat ang Tsinelas sa EWIT mountaineers ug sa Lamac Multipurpose Cooperative sa kalampusan sa maong proyekto.

Ang pagkatkat dili gara-gara, dili palabwanay sa abilidad. Ang pagkatkat, gawas nga pakigsuod kini sa kalikopan, pakigsandurot usab sa mga tawo nga nagpuyo sa bukid o sa palibot niini.  Ug ang gibuhat sa EWIT nagmatuod nga dili kini imposible.
