                    [Summary] => The truth is that we don’t celebrate Father’s Day in the Philippines. It is an American celebration and if it is celebrated at all in the Philippines, it is by the so-called elitist who have been influenced by the advertisements of restaurants as to where to dine with your family to mark the occasion.

                    [Summary] => Tomorrow we commemorate Father’s Day, a holiday that we inherited from the Americans. The United States was the first nation to have an official Father’s Day celebration. The closest thing to a Father’s Day celebration in the past was the Roman Parentalia, which was observed in February from the 13th  to the 22nd. The celebration, however, was not for living fathers, but for all departed parents and relatives. It was actually a family reunion held to appease the souls of the departed. In actuallity, it was more of an All Soul’s Day than a Father’s Day celebration.
