I learned Tagalog by reading komiks as a child. Unfortunately, the komiks industry in the Philippines is now practically dead. It’s a good thing that some people are preserving the art through their websites and blogs. The artworks below are courtesy of this website owned by Gerry Alanguilan.
Turns out that that in the 1950s, Hiwaga Komiks serialized a story about an Ifugao warrior.
We have not been following the nursing scandal but one of our commenters (Harold M.) alerted us to the fact that lawyer Cheryl Daytec-Yangot, a native of Besao, Mt. Province, is very much in the midst of this unfolding story.
This got us intrigued so we followed the news and eventually decided to blog about it. From the very start, we’d like to make it clear that Cheryl and her companions who exposed the leakage of exam questions during the June 2006 nursing board are the good guys in this sordid affair.
