Mum Shares: Rex Education + PPCRV Call For Voters To Discern Well, Vote According To Our Values, + Be Maka-Pilipinas

May 5, 2022 No Comments

With the National Elections just within reach, Rex Education and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting {PPCRV} are working together to help educate voters about the values we should be looking for in the leaders we will elect.

“How the Philippines will come out of this pandemic and handle the impending global economic recession will rely on the next 6 years. This is why it is crucial that the leaders we will elect in the upcoming May 9 elections share the heart of the Filipino people and possess the values to stand for and serve our country. We have to choose well and vote for someone who is truly Maka-Pilipinas,” said Rex Education CEO, Don Timothy Buhain.

The leader we deserve is Maka-Pilipinas

It’s finally Friday! How was your day mums? This mum has some free time to put her feet up and relax with a good book, albeit for a short while. Also, the little man is pressuring me to finish this one sooner so he can borrow the rest of the series from her tita. Challenge accepted, especially that he is growing impatient since he has already read this twice!? . . . Do you also love to read when you have the time? Any must-read recommendations? #mumreads #adayinthelifeofmum #booklover #books #bookstagram #bookstagramph #manga #RurouniKenshin #raisingreaders #bookworm #11of30 #GoodReadsReadingChallenge2019 #readingchallenge

We are huge Samurai X fans and we still watch its re-runs at a local kids’ channel. We absolutely love Kenshin and enjoy watching his adventures with his friends over and over. {Hint: there is also an English-dubbed version available on Netflix ;)}. Of course, it would be awesome to read about his story, too. Good thing my sister has copies of these manga so this mum does not need to buy her own copy! 😀

This is the 7th book I read for my 2019 Reading Challenge. I have actually read this a decade ago while I was pregnant with my little man. One of my preggy friends recommended the book and lent me her copy. I remember loving the book back then. Must be why I cannot pass up on the chance to have my own copy when I saw that my favorite Facebook book shop is selling it.

The best time to catch up on my reading is when my little man was too busy enjoying himself in the water. I was able to finish it in a day, while watching my little swimmer from the pool side. 🙂

Here is a brief synopsis from Goodreads:

Stargirl. She’s as magical as the desert sky. As strange as her pet rat. As mysterious as her own name. And she captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile.

But when the students of Mica High turn on Stargirl for everything that makes her different, Leo urges her to become the very that can destroy her: normal. In a celebration of nonconformity, Newberry Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity—and the inspiration of first love.
