Could you post your activities in English too please. Still fresh off the boat, just arrived yesterday, so not fluent in Tagalog yet.

If you're a fan of Philippine history, I suggest you watch Tanghalang Pilipino's Mabining Mandirigma, a musical about Mabini. It's done in steampunk and it's pretty funny.

Shows this December.

If you are in Laguna area, sa may Los Baños.

Sa harap ng campus ng UPLB, may mga Christmas houses, tapos meron din malaking Christmas tree dun :) I suggest going there ng mga pagabi, around 5pm para medyo malamig :)

I think malapit na din ng Parolan sa UPLB, it is not as big as the lantern parade in UP Diliman, pero at least may lantern parade pa din :)

Saka pweds din mag foodtrip dun sa labas ng campus, dami na kainan dun :)

Help fund the education of the 2nd Batch of GK SEED scholars by watching our block screening of **Star Wars: Rogue One** on December 16, 2016 8 PM at Robinsons Galleria - Cinema[1]. Ticket costs P 500.

1: https://www.facebook.com/events/217004048722282/

This is in support of Human Heart Nature’s Goodness Rising Project for 2016 in partnership with Philippine Lightsaber Guild.

Every PHP 500 ticket you purchase will help fund the tuition fees for Experiential and Entrepreneurial Development (SEED) scholars, their learning materials, daily meal allowance, and transportation expenses.

Launched last August 11, 2014 and starting with about 43 bright and determined students from various public schools in Bulacan, SEED aims to produce graduates who will tackle poverty through agriculture and innovation. The program will initially run for 2 years with a curriculum co-developed with TESDA, and will become a ladderized 4-year program in partnership with CHED.

Special Star Wars prizes to be raffled away to lucky winners before the screening!!!
