Crazy Ex-Girlfriend S01E12- Josh and I Work on a Case!: Oh, I just loved mixed-race babies. I don’t know, I still think Jewish and Filipino has the best mixed.

Karen Bowerman: Jews have been arriving in the Philippines since the Spanish Inquisition in the 16th century 
I catch up with a local guide, Angelo Alon, for a tour of Intramuros, Manila’s historic quarter, built by the Spanish, destroyed in the Second World War but since restored with the old citadel, Fort Santiago, forming the centrepiece. 
Manila is also home to a tiny Jewish population 
The rain ricochets off the river; I note the paparazzi are in the dry. I brave it out, and, at the risk of a wobble, wave and smile. A man fires off a volley of shots then waves and smiles back. Such is my introduction to Bohol, "the Island of Friendship," in the Philippines. 
As the sky clears, my instructor, Troy, and I paddle through dripping rainforest to the small Busay Falls. Clearings reveal patterned huts woven from banana leaves. A man fishing for tilapia drops a line from a bamboo pontoon. There’s the smell of meat cooking on hot coals. 
But it’s another form of wildlife for which Bohol is known; it’s the Philippine tarsier, said to have been the inspiration for the character of Yoda in Star Wars. 
The nocturnal, fist-sized creature is among the smallest primates in the world. Its eyes cover three quarters of its head and it has an exceptionally long ‘middle finger’ or tarsus bone, hence its name. 
I creep through a forest protected by the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary near Corella. Amazingly, I’m in luck; clinging with its sucker-tipped hands to a narrow branch, I spot a shy fellow snoozing. It opens its goggle eyes and almost seems to smile. 
I visit during the May-to-October wet season, when everything is green. But it’s all still pretty dramatic, as the hills seem to glow under a brooding sky. 
Modern Jeepneys are now produced with surplus engines and parts coming from Japan. The decorations are entertaining – "God is the answer," one vehicle claims. "In God’s speed," declares another. But my favourite is "Thou shalt not kill" – always worth remembering when you hit the road. 
From Manila, it’s a short flight south-west to Busuanga in the island province of Palawan, for a relaxing end to my stay. I catch a boat to the privately-owned Dicilingan Island, occupied solely by the Huma Island Resort and Spa. I’m welcomed with garlands and song, and dine on locally-caught lapu lapu and cassava cake made from a grated root vegetable, eggs and coconut milk. 
Then it’s off to my over-water villa and outdoor Jacuzzi, from where I can spy the setting sun and say a fond farewell to the Philippines.

By BARUCH TENEMBAUM, EDUARDO EURNEKIAN: President Quezon’s legacy is in the core of the Filipino people, who cherish a tradition of hospitality and solidarity with refugees. It is no wonder that refugees from the Spanish Civil War and more recently, Vietnamese and Indochinese refugees sought refuge in the Philippines.
Pistis Sophia: Philip always writes down the words of the inner Christ.
Philip is the scribe of all the discourses.
The interior, profound Lord is our Savior.
Philip comprehends all of this.
Philip possesses luminous powers in order to understand.
Philip possesses luminous powers in order to write.
to Celestial Evenings: is that your recent profile pic? i ask because i submitted a profile pic of my cousin N hong kong, china for a poetry thingy in NY; obviously: not me, but close enough. i'll ask my sister for a makeover, if i am "chosen" and "Deal" with the scrutiny, after the selection process. i'm being vague, about me, but enough of that. to reiterate, is that you in dark garments? sigh. how's School? i gather, you're Accumulating Debts @ Unniversity.

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

Filipino Proverb: There is no earthly bliss not watered by tears.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
