Mga Tala ng Aking Buhay ni Gregoria de Jesus Alay kay G. Jose P. Santos na siyang humiling na sulatin ko ang aking kabuhayan. Ako'y si Gregoria de Jesus, taong tunay dito sa bayang Kalookan, lalawigan ng Rizal. Isinilang ako ng araw ng Martes, ika-9 ng Mayo ng taong 1875, sa pook na pinagbaunan ng libolibong sandatang ginamit sa himagsikan at pinagdausan din naman ng kasunduan ng mga punong naghimagsik bago lumabas ng bayan, lugar na tinatawag na Daang Baltazar noong araw at ngayo'y P. Zamora, blg. 13. Ang ama ko'y si Nicolas de Jesus, taong tunay din sa bayang ito na ang hanapbuhay ay Maestro de Obra ng Catero Carpentero at isa sa naghawak ng ilang tungkulin noong panahon ng kastila, naging teniente segundo, teniente mayor at gobernadorsilyo. Ang ina ko ay si Baltazara Alvarez Francisco na tagabayang Nobeleta, lalawigan ng Kabite, pamangkin ni Heneral Mariano Alvarez ng Magdiwang sa Kabite na siyang unang gumalaw ng himagsikan sa nasabing lalawigan.

Metropolitan Manila (Filipino: Kalakhang Maynila, Kamaynilaan) or the National Capital Region (NCR) (Filipino: Pambansang Punong Rehiyon) is the metropolitan region encompassing the City of Manila and its surrounding areas in the Philippines. It is composed of 16 cities—namely Manila itself, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, Parañaque, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela—and the municipality of Pateros. file:///D:/ncr%20researches/Metro_Manila.htm Greater Manila generally refers to the contiguous urbanization surrounding Metro Manila.

Dear Noynoy, You are now swamped with suggestions and advice, but just the same, I hope you’ll have time to read what this octogenarian has to say. You were not my choice in the last election but since our people have spoken, we must now support you and pray that you prevail. But first, I must remind you of the stern reality that your drumbeaters ignore: you have no noble legacy from your forbears. It is now your arduous job to create one yourself in the six years that you will be the single most powerful Filipino. Six years is too short a time — the experience in our part of the world is that it takes at least one generation — 25 years — for a sick nation to recover and prosper.

Bear in mind that the past weighs heavily on all of us because of the many contradictions in it that we have not resolved, whose resolutions would strengthen us as a nation. This past is now your burden, too. Let us start with the fact that your g...
