a night with chito tagle

down-to-earth. charming. warm. intelligent. sensible. perceptive.

being with bishop chito tagle of imus, cavite, last night at a gathering of pinoy students and their friends was a very pleasant experience for me.

plus it reminds me that there really ARE cool priests.

i really like him. ever since he officiated a mass for us at our JVP 10-year reunion 4 years ago, i have been hooked. what a great man!

blessing, indeed.

Hi there,

This is totally unrelated to this particular post. Just wanted to say it's good to see you've again opened your blog for all to see/read.

Anyway, I just finished reading your "dem accent" post and I couldn't agree more. The interesting thing is that Pinoys --yes, including my close relatives, unfortunately -- here where I live (Canada) try to adopt the anglicised version of their very filipino/hispanic last names. I find this very funny, actually. So, I sometimes amuse myself by dialling these people's phone numbers just to listen to their answering machines. You know, just to hear them say their last names funny. :-)

Take care.
