Kudos to your blogspot, Sir Manuel. These are the kind of news.. GOOD NEWS that we should be hearing instead of the hype news that the prime time Television shows are fighting out to get more viewership.
Yes I have made post about their success stories but only a few like Cecilio Kwok Pedro, Filemon Barbasa and Mrs Gandionco. I plan to post all of their success stories soon.
