Meanwhile, Did You Know that.....

The Philippines has a complex colonial past — one that saw three different flags raised over its islands in just a single lifetime.

First came Spain, which colonized the Philippines for 333 years, bringing Catholicism, Spanish surnames, and centralized governance.

Then the United States took over for nearly 50 years, introducing English, public education, and American-style democracy.

During World War II, Japan occupied the country for a brief but brutal period.

Lastly, Did you Know that.....

The Spratly Islands, a tiny, scattered group in the South China Sea, are at the heart of a massive territorial dispute. Multiple nations lay claim to these islands, including:

China

Vietnam

Philippines

Malaysia

Brunei

Taiwan

What’s at stake? Beyond the islands themselves — vital shipping lanes, fishing rights, and potential oil and gas reserves. The dispute has sparked tensions, military standoffs, and complex international negotiations.

Who controls them? Still up in the air.

Personal Note: Will Trump put his dirty hands and also claimed these islands?

Lastly, here are three photos of the Baby Shower held last Saturday for my first great grand son expected the first week of May. I will be a Super Lolo.
