Joined a two-hour birdwatching tour in Valenzuela, and we were able to see 135 birds from 22 different species! ๐ฆ

Asked about the criminal charges filed against them, Wilma said, โIn the history of just struggles, revolutionaries were always branded as criminals. Review the pages of history and youโll see that Jose Rizal, Macario Sakay, Andres Bonifacio were all charged with common crimes.โ

Women farmers cultivate land during a Payuhuan at Imnajbu, Batanes. Payuhuan is a communal gathering where farmers collectively prepare the land for free, with the harvest proceeds divided among participating members of their farming cooperative.
