Subic to Clark to Tarlac in First World comfort!

-
I found these photos of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) on a PinoyExchange.com thread and I gotta say, I am impressed.

I also read on Baguio Insider that taking the SCTEX (after taking the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) from Manila) cuts travel time to Baguio City down to three hours. That's an improvement of one hour on the four-hour travel time to Baguio that I remember was possible back in the 70's!

One more for the road:

As expected, this has to do with the fact that P.Noy won an election determined by popular vote, came out with an 88 percent trust rating in a recent "survey", and generally is an all-around well-liked guy.

War, famine, pestilence, poverty, and child-molesting priests. There are millions of things that the men-in-robes of the Philippine Catholic Church could be raising a stink about. Instead they focus today on Dolphy's comedy film Father Jejemon , where certain scenes allegedly "disrespect" certain holy rituals of the Catholic faith.

This week is the home stretch in the race to make Valentine's Day 2011 a happenin' day. Do consider though what Valentine's Day -- or any occasion celebrated with a spectacular display of conspicuous consumption -- really means .
