Butt, of course

Who is the tall guy in G-strings in front of the Department of Tourism main office near Luneta Park? I am guessing it's Lapu-Lapu, the slayer of Ferdinand Magellan; or Rajah Solayman, one of Manila's pre-Hispanic leaders.

Revisiting Luneta

It's been four years since I have last been to Rizal Park, otherwise known as Luneta or Bagumbayan. Do you believe that? I am glad to see that the national park has shed (just a weebit) of its shadiness. This afternoon, I see students from nearby high school doing play and dance rehearsals in the park's grassy nooks.

Distraction

After a week in Western Visayas, I come back to Manila to discover most of the shops in EDSA Shangri-la Mall are on sale. Naturally, the wife is happy to tag along. The red color should serve as a warning to all wallets.
