THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS Starting this Feb 2013, I have to comply with the language policy of the program that supports this blog. So I will now respond in English. Please try to write your comments or questions in English or Taglish. But of course you can still write in Tagalog, and I will just translate it. About the hundreds of previous comments that were removed, I will put them into a Q and A blog. I will return some of them to this comment section later. Thanks again.
