Orosa, and Eduardo Quisumbing for their contributions in the country's scientific reputation. The mural, titled "Mga Rebolusyonaryo," gave the three figures with their own descriptive, naming Co as "Bayani Ko," Orosa as "Tagapagligtas," and Quisumbing as "Muhon ng Bayan." [...]
The Constantino Foundation appreciates the post of the Alpha Phi Beta Fraternity of UP, which Renato Constantino was very much part of along with stalwarts such as Abraham Sarmiento and Hermon Lagman. In their post, the fraternity quotes our founder as a reminder to today's youth: "𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴... [...]
After delivering a paper on climate change, history, and the arts, the Constantino Foundation donated multiple copies of its books to Ateneo de Zamboanga University's library. May the past spark greater curiosity in our youth. It will help them understand better the links between politics, science, and the sense of nationhood our people need so much of today. In the photo is university president Fr. Ernald Andal and Floraime Pantaleta of the Ateneo de Zamboanga-Mindanao Institute. [...]
#SintangLakbay was welcomed so warmly by BJMP officials. They were so warm and professional; they gave us a tour of Old Bilibid where Sakay was hanged, a preview of the museum they'll launch end June, and the Gola, the tower of the city jail built in 1847. [...]
The passing of Renato Constantino Jr., or Ka RC as we used to call him, last April has brought back memories of the union strike we had in 1995. As I fly from Vienna to New York, my thoughts drift like the clouds outside the plane’s window. His loss is a significant one for the Filipino working class. He was one of those unsung heroes who worked behind the scenes for fair justice and equal rights for the working class. [...]

We had a blast yesterday with St. Theresa's High School Batch '68! You just knew they were from STC as the battalion of Kitakids walked in with vim and verve together with some spouses and younger Theresians. The entirety of Linangan Gallery felt younger in their presence. Still buzzing from the interaction, we were humming "Elenore", one of the top hits of 1968, after the event wrapped up. What a gorgeous discussion, and what a gorgeous day it was. [...]
