Antillian House :)


A visit to Iloilo City will never be complete without touring its grand mansions. Sitting just a few meters away from the Nelly Garden is the Don Jose Araneta's Antillian House. Simply known as the Antillian House. So called because many people believe that the architectural design is patterned after the houses in Antilles. The Antillian House was owned by the Araneta Family who also owned the Pearl of the Pacific Boracay. The Mansion was purely influenced by the Spanish architecture for its structures and designs both in and out. Antillian House was built during 1723 and said to be a perfect example of Bahay na Bato which has a comedor, azotea, balustrades, etc.

The Jaro Cathedral (Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary) was built in 1864, the year the district was named a diocese by Pope Pius the IX, by order of His Grace Mariano Cuartero, first bishop of Jaro. Destroyed in the quake of January 1948 and restored by order of His Excellency Jose Ma. Cuenco, first archbishop of Jaro in 1956. The cathedral’s style is basically Baroque, with the addition of Gothic elements over many renovations.

FRUSTRATED VOTER!


Unfortunately, I was born on November 1, 1992. The first election that i really want to join is the SK Federation Election. I was 14 years old that time and the date of election was October 29 just a 3 day gap before my birthday to turn 15. I'm not able to vote, and again, during the national election, I was 17 and obviously, again, I didn't able to join the troupe of the voters of the first automated election. Frustrated, and jealous to those who made for the last minute of voting registration. Now, I have to wait 3 years more to vote for the senatorial election on 2013, and 6 more years for the presidential election. SOON, I could make it to the day of ELECTION. - JHON HENRY :)

Halalan 2010 :)


Noynoy is my PRESIDENT :))

Ang Presidente na hindi corrupt. Some says na siya ay walang proyektong nagawa sa bayan, pero mga kaibigan, saan ba mas prone ang mga lider sa kurapsyon? Hindi ba sa sobra-sobrang budget allocation sa mga proyekto? Ang ibig sabihin ay, kahit wala masyadong proyekto si Noy, naniniwala ako na wala din siyang nakurakot mula sa kaban ng bayan, kung kaya't dapat na imulat na ng sambayanang Pilipino ang kanilang mga mata sa malinis at makabagong daan sa halalan sa pamamagitan ng pagboto sa karapatdapat na lider ng bansa tungo sa inaasahang pagbabago. AKO ANG SIMULA NG PAGBABAGO :)
