It is with deep sadness that we announce that the bell has rung and the last Taps has been sung for General Rodolfo Gaspar Biazon, former AFP Chief of Staff, member of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives.

It is perfectly fitting that today, Independence Day, at around 8:30am, the soldier who dedicated his life and laid it on the line in defending freedom and democracy, has been set free from the pains of this world.

He was diagnosed with lung cancer in July of 2022 and underwent the appropriate treatment. This year, however, he caught pneumonia twice, the second being more serious than the first which had further weakend his lungs.

He courageously fought his last battle like a Marine would, but it is the Lord’s will which prevails.

The family is grateful that we were able to spend his last moments with us intimately and peacefully.

We send off a warrior and gentleman, secure in the knowledge that the faithful servant has fought the good fight and has finished the race.

From our mother Monchie, my sister Richie and brother Rino, along with the daughters-in-law, son-in-law, grandchildren and great grandchildren of Pong Biazon, we thank everyone who have given their support, love and friendship to Papa during his active years and in the twilight of his life.

For those who wish to pay their last respects, details will soon be announced.

This is not Hogwarts. It is the Law Library of the University of Michigan.
I noticed that most old U.S universities have buildings in Tudor or old English style that evoke an idea of Oxford or Cambridge. When I remarked that the University of Michigan looked "new" my new friend Jonathan Valdez gave me a tour of the buildings in the neo-classic style and we entered the Law School where he pointed out one of the university emblems on the stained glass windows [Right] that reads University of the Philippines.
The University of Michigan has a long historic association with the Philippines and my four months here will not just be teaching but revisiting research I started on a Fulbright Senior Research Fellowship in 2000. That's 23 years ago. Tempus fugit indeed.

Done! Finished the China Bank Museum at the beautifully restored Binondo Building. Sincerely hoping that the rest of Binondo building owners consider reanimating the district.

Established in 1920, China Banking Corporation was to figure hugely in the economic history of the Philippines. It was the bank that gave the first loans to Henry Sy and John Gokongwei, poor migrants whom few banks at that time would have felt worthy of a loan. The rest is history. In that century, the SM Group and the Robinson entities would remain extremely loyal to this bank.

The Filipino is worth dying for. - Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

Ang Pambansang Komisyon para sa Kultura at mga Sining ay nakikiisa sa pag-alala sa buhay at kabayanihan ni Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

-----

Si Benigno Simeon Aquino Jr, mas kilalá bílang “Ninoy,” ay isang Filipinong senador na naging pangunahing kritiko laban kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos noong panahon ng diktadura. Pinaslang siyá sa Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Maynila pagkauwi mula sa destiyero sa Estados Unidos.

Isinilang siyá sa Concepcion, Tarlac noong 27 Nobyembre 1932 kina Aurora Aquino-Aquino at Benigno S. Aquino Sr, dáting Assemblyman. Pumasok siyá sa Ateneo de Manila upang mag-aral ng batsilyer sa sining. Hindi niyá ito natapos sapagkat pinilìng maging peryodista. Sa edad 17, si Aquino, para sa pahayagang The Manila Times ni Joaquin “Chino” Roces, ang naging pinakabatàng korespondent para sa Digmaang Korea, at sinundan niyá doon ang mga gawain ng mga sundalong Filipino. Natamo niyá dahil sa Korea ang Philippine Legion of Honor na iginawad sa kaniya ni Pangulong Elpidio Quirino sa edad na 18. Kumuha siyá ng abogasya sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, ngunit hindi niyá rin ito natapos.

Sa edad na 22, nahalal si Aquino bílang alkalde ng Concepcion, Tarlac. Siyá ang naging pinakabatàng bise-gobernador noon ng bansa sa edad na 27 at naging gobernador ng Tarlac pagkalipas ng dalawang taón. Noong 1967, sa edad 34, siyá ang naging pinakabatàng halal na senador sa kasaysayan ng Filipinas. Di malaon ay umusbong si Aquino bílang pangunahing kritiko laban kay Pangulong Marcos at sa asawa nitóng si Imelda.

Nang ipahayag ang Batas Militar noong Setyembre 1972, dinakip si Aquino at nakulong ng maraming taón. Nagkaroon siyá ng sakít sa puso at pinahintulutang lumabas ng bansa upang maoperahan sa Estados Unidos. Sinubok niyáng bumalik sa Filipinas noong 1983, ngunit pinaslang paglabas ng eroplano sa paliparan ng Maynila. Ang pag- paslang sa kaniya ang isa sa mga mitsa ng People Power (EDSA) Revolution ng 1986 na nagbagsak sa diktadurang Marcos at nagluklok sa kaniyang iniwang maybahay na si Corazon Aquino bílang Pangulo ng bansa.
