Meet the Great Outdoors According to ROX

An article from Sunday Inquirer magazine published last April 19, 2009 caught my attention. ‘Meet The Great Outdoors’ is the title of the article. Maybe it is a paid advertisement of Recreational Outdoor Exchange (R.O.X.). Anyways, according to this article, April and May are the best months of the year to visit these marvelous Philippine destinations.

1. Mt. Apo at Davao City. – Scale the tallest peak in the Philippine at 9691 feet above sea level.
2. Mt. Banahaw at Quezon Province.- visit the ‘sacred mountain’ and a must visit is the famous mystical ‘Husgado’ cave.

A Place of Worship

By Deus

I’m doing these not to seclude one’s religion I just would like to urge the concerned agency in the Manila Airports to establish a place of worship where our brother Muslim can engaged in their religious activity. Whenever I travel to certain areas in the Philippines I often observed that our Muslim brother wherever possible went to a corner with a small carpet in their hand and conducts their religious activity; please give them equal rights since we are living in one earth. I hope that this open letter would pave the way to improvements of Airports in Manila.

Thanks and regards,
