Happy Birthday Tita Cory!

Today is former President Corazon Aquino's 80th Birthday. Though we all know she's dead, we celebrate her birthday anyways.

Corazon C. Aquino was born in Paniqui, Tarlac. She was the 11th President of the Philippines and the first woman to hold the office. She came into power after the bloodless EDSA revolution of 1986, which restored democracy in the country. As Commander-in-Chief, she defended this democracy, withstanding several coup attempts through her term, which lasted from February 25, 1986 to June 30, 1992.

Popular Manila is a blog on where to find things, places, services, suppliers in Manila. Its a handy guide for the urban traveler, backpacker or any pinoy for that matter.

Well, I love Manila! Yes in spite of the stink, the daily human suffering and humidity. The beautiful mess and the urban chaos of our beloved capital is home to me, and no city can ever come close or compare to this unique tropical microcosm.

I have spent the past year answering questions on the local Philippines Yahoo! Answers board. I decided to post some of the info I have answered there to this blog, I think it would be useful rather than to keep them in the archives.

I also managed to posts some new things of my own, I think would be useful for anyone getting to know the Philippines. I will strive to (at least) to find the info you need =)
