Welcome!
Mabuhay Rotonda, Philippines.
See the boy in the wheel chair? His name is Paul Promen. At the end of May he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He spent over a month in the hospital undergoing treatment. Every day Monday through Friday he goes back to the hospital to undergo radiation and chemotherapy. As you might expect his medical bills have become rather high and his family is unable to pay for them. Paul is my best friend. He’s the kind of person that would be there for you no matter what the situation was. Which is why I have put a donate button on my blog. If anyone would like to donate any money to help out him and his family please do so. Anything helps, even if it is just a dollar. Even if you can’t donate any money it would be helpful if you could please reblog this post and get it all around tumblr. Also if you would like to order a shirt to help out here is the facebook link to order one. http://www.facebook.com/pages/True-Fighter/244653245551735.
I know you guys may not know him but he is very special to me. And I would really appreciate any help I can get in order to help out him and his family. He’s been there for me and now it’s my turn to do my best and help him out anyway I can when he’s in need of it the most.
The Grand Old Bridge
To complete the design for a booming Neo-Classical Manila, Architect Juan Arellano designed the Jones Bridge in the Neoclassical style similar to those bridges in Europe. The Jones Bridge replaced the much weaker and narrower Puente España that the Spanish built as the link to the North of Pasig and Manila (Intramuros).

A humbling feeling, The Slums in Philippines
With all the things going on in the world, when you look at a picture like this, some of us will be thankful for what we have. Who knows just how stable these are. Hope you’re all having a blessed day!
List Of Active Fault Lines In The Philippines
- Marikina Valley Fault (Montalban, San Mateo, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig, Muntinlupa, San Pedro, Binan, Carmona, Santa Rosa, Calamba, Tagaytay, Oriental Mindoro)
- Western Philippine Fault (Luzon Sea, Mindoro Strait, Panay Gulf, Sulu Sea)
- Eastern Philippine Fault (Philippine Sea)
- Southern of Mindanao Fault (Moro Gulf, Celebes Sea)
- Central Philippine Fault (Entire Ilocos Norte, Aurora, Quezon, Masbate, Eastern Leyte, Southern Leyte, Agusan Del Norte, Agusan Del Sur, Davao del Norte)
Of these, the MARIKINA VALLEY FAULT poses the greatest danger because it cuts through all the modern and progressive portions of Manila such as Eastwood, Rockwell, Ortigas Center, Bonifacio Global City, Ayala Center, and Alabang. Also, the PhiVolcs people have warned that this fault line can move anytime because it is already “11 years late” for its movement.
*The earthquake that destroyed Guinsaugon is the Central Philippine Fault
*The 1990 earthquake that destroyed Central Luzon and Baguio is also the Central Philippine Fault.

I hope you ponder your thoughts about this.
