The Tornado that Came

By | Hot Off the Press | No Comments

Our friends from New Manila shared some photos of their house when the Tornado hit the area.  It’s a good thing all of them are safe and the kids were inside the house when it happened!

As part of Immaculate Conception Academy, Greenhills’ 75th anniversary celebration as the first Chinese-Filipino Catholic School in the country, the ICA Alumnae Association has launched a book entitled A Cut Above.

The objective of the ICA Alumnae Association is to continue and reinforce the formation that the school instituted.  And true to the ideals of ICA, the seeds that were planted have borne much fruit:  many ICA students and alumnae have made significant—although some quiet and uncelebrated—contributions to society in their profession, vocation, mission…and in faith.

“My advocacy is simple : To trumpet to the world that the Philippines is the world’s best sandbox!

I give the calendars away for free and I’ve gotten requests from all over the world.  All your readers have to do is to email me ( butchgjimenez@yahoo.com ) and I’ll tell them how to get the calendar free. I don’t ask for payment in any shape or form. I just want people to know that the Philippines is the world’s best sandbox”
