I think I need a refresher lesson in Philippine geography. It’s been years since I memorized the names of the provinces of the Philippines in grade school. I know that much has changed since then. There is at least one province, Compostela Valley, that I know of that didn’t exist several years ago.
Yoyoy Villame […]
Zarah Grace Gagatiga is the blogger behind School Librarian in Action (SLIA). She’s a “School Librarian. Teacher. Storyteller. Writer. Reading & Literacy Advocate”.

Kids with special needs are a challenge to teach and especially harder to diagnose if […]

Caveat: I am reacting to a reaction to an essay.
I didn’t read the original essay, but just can’t accept that Filipinos in God’s chosen doormat.
