 Called Me Cassandra, written by the Filipino-American author, singer, and actress Lourdes Duque Baron is an exceptionally entertaining and uplifting book.




The most prestigious and cutting-edge universities in the United States have placed Lourdes Duque Baron's remarkable
 book among the top titles recommended to students.



It is about a woman who struggled to rebuild her life after discovering her husband’s infidelity.

Called Myself 
Cassandra is based on the author's real-life experience and her frank insight into what it means to be woman. 
This is book you will definitely enjoy due to its myriad twists and turns.

Called Myself 
Cassandra is story about friends, passion, affection, and everything else that women of all ages and even men around the world can relate to.

Raw, honest, and captivating are the seductive tales and vulnerable encounters of Lourdes Duque Baron.


I Called Myself Cassandra is regarded as a masterfully written and well-balanced book with so many important components that Cornell University in New York City, Northwestern University in Chicago, Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, Rutgers University in New Jersey, along with Stanford University, recommend it as part of a student’s essential reading list.




We are flooded with stories of adultery and failing marriages, and many novels and movies 
have made it appear as if rebellious spirit and destructive mentality can restore what is 
broken; this book takes different approach and decides to construct better mentality.

Love, humility, and forgiveness are the keys to happiness. There is a need to surrender your marriage to Jesus Christ.

Know your local artist: Khervin John Gallandez : The Ilocano Artist

Khervin John Gallandez is an emerging visual artist from Ilocos. It has been a personal advocacy to share the amazing people I have met while on the road Khervin John Gallandez, is one of the many hopefuls in the local art industry— and he is definitely worth our time. He has focus and determination and young artists can learn a lot from his willingness to evolve when it comes to his craft. Q&A : At what age did you first realize that you wanted to become an artist? I started to draw at the age of 7, as far as I remember.  I draw simple houses with my cousins. My mother was a disciplinarian before, and she provides used papers for me to draw/scribble instead of me going out and playing around. When my father came back in Philippines from working abroad, he brought set of encyclopedias for me to read.  It was then the first time that I read about paintings of the old masters (e.g. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh and others) which gave me my

Why you need to visit the Bamboo Intramuros

There are very few places in Metro Manila that would make you feel relaxed and one with nature . I was fortunate enough to meet one of the legendary owners of  Bamboo Grande franchise.  Honesto Deuda aka Ka-Oni  is well loved by friends, acquaintances and people who have met him from different walks of life.  He co-owns some of the best bar and restaurants in Metro Manila. Ka Oni is known for creating inspiring and bars that have soul, spunk and spirit.  He has been conceptualizing organic looking resto bars for more than 10 years now. Ka- Oni's creations are noticeable because the resto bars that he creates are made out of love for music and the arts. His process is different, Ka Oni  creates the vision for the restaurants but does not need to put them on paper, they are directly executed from his imagination to reality.   Ka Oni was already featured in Mabuhay International Magazine for the amazing work that he has done with his surrounding commun

Origami Pilipinas: Changing the Country one paper fold at a time

MAY 22 TIU theater is an artist hub located in Makati, and I was given the chance to watch Bakata: The Battle of Street Poets, a play produced by  Toshihiko Uriu  -   The play was a huge success and is predicted to turn into a Philippine classic, but I am writing this article right now to highlight another story that occurred inside the TIU theater.  A collaboration piece that helped produce the effect of the wonder called Bakata. I noticed the glow of the lanterns and the paper cranes highlighted in the stage design, it had the flair and flamboyant but subtle effect that was needed in order to make the stage look just perfect for the story line.  Leo R Natividad is the President and Owner of Origami Pilipinas.  I was fortunate to meet members like  L. River Butay, Adonis dela Cruz as well as Jose Monzales and other volunteers who continue to strengthen Origami Pilipinas. Origami Pilipinas and their Advocacy: Origami Pilipinas, was founded out of pa
