[Title] => Cebu bikers: Wowed by the rice terraces
[Summary] => TUGUEGARAO: Last weekend, big bikers from all over the country rode into the Fort in Makati to join the 1st Bike Week in conjunction with the 9th Annual Convention of the National Federation of Motorcycle Clubs of the Philippines, which began last April 25. We did see a lot of great new motorcycles at the Fort: BMW Boxers, Desmodromic valved Ducatis, Yamaha Warriors, 1800 cc Honda STX or Kawasaki Vulcans and yes, the venerable Honda Gold Wings paraded for all to ogle or drool at at the Fort, the epicenter of the big bike activity. Cebu big bikers were part of a huge delegation from Cebu.

[Title] => Herbert Ocampo, dakilang Pilipino
[Summary] => MAHIGIT isang buwan na ang nakalipas. Pero pinag-uusapan pa rin ng madla ang katangi-tanging kabutihang-asal ni Herbert Ocampo. Nakatataba kasi ng puso si Herbert. Dumami sana ang tribu niya.
Casual waiter si Herbert sa isang otel sa Quezon City. Isang hapon, napulot niya ang bag na naiwan ng customer sa coffeeshop. Laman ay $100,000 cash, mahigit P5 milyon! Hinanap niya agad ang customer at siniguradong maibalik ang pera.
