The grandeur that was Paris

This I feel is the ultimate testament to my romantic speculation of how the book permeates to the consciousness of a Filipino community - the book in perfect symmetry to the very symbol of place. In case of Paris, the Eiffel Tower.

Very french indeed. Cheers!

In the pix are Cez Sanchez and Lilly Bearneza, our kabayan who stand resilient to challenges of repetitive rubble for the brave, new world of Filipinos outside of the Philippines, and of course, both avid fan of KAPENG ARABO.

More cheers!

KA spreads in Paris

Below is PNB staff consists of its Operation Officer, Teresa Reyes with Lyneth and Terence.

Just for the record, Des emphasized they all got themselves their respective copy of the book. Hindi hiram at hindi for press release lang. (Wink!)

Athens welcomes KA

European tour ba kamo? Buti pa etong book ko...kung san san na nakarating. Here's an addition to the list - Athens, Greece.

In the old times, the whole Greece is said to be divided and populated by certain types of people. The athletes & sportsmen, the soldiers and men possessed of physical strengths were said to be located in Sparta. The geniuses, intellectuals and the learneths, in Athens.

So, where does KAPENG ARABO belong? You do the math.

Here's the pix of our fellow kabayans in Paris who secured themselves copies of KAPENG ARABO. The one in red is our very dear Ms. Des Amojedo who introduced the book and presented the book in Paris (and soon other parts of Europe...yehey!)

Interview with Mr. Charles Tabu

Here are some of the stills of the interview held January 22, 2009. The interview was conducted by TFC Correspondent Mr. Charles Tabu in the comfort of my humble abode in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

I shall do my best to upload the video (if only I can find a way to record the episode).

KA hits PARIS, FRANCE

PARIS, FRANCE - HILIGAYNON ASSOCIATION, a group of Filipinos situated in the most romantic part of the earth organized a soft-launching of the book KAPENG ARABO. The activity was held simultaneous with the regular gathering of the group on a Sunday February 1.

Desire Amojedo, from Cabanatuan Iloilo, spearheaded the occassion and brought forth "soup du jour" to which she cheerfully admitted "eating has always been the best part of our group's every activity.

Amojedo related that the group heard about the book from Cez Sanchez, a member based in Athens, Greece, who brought along a copy from the Philippines. "She has very favorable opinion about the book, and she believes that all OFWs and Pinoy abroad, whether in the Arabian territory (as the title suggests) or not should read it," she said.

"We consider anything that can contribute to the improvement of our condition as a blessing, and so this work of another OFW that advocates productivity, unity and love for our country is such a welcome, and worthy of our support," Amojedo added.

Accordingly, the book is sold among members of the group with a principal objective of bringing the message of the author to as many OFWs in the region; and that any profit that maybe derived therein will be added to the group's fund to finance their charity projects.

KA has landed PARIS

This is the TNT tracker as of 29th of January. What does this small document mean?

It's simple - that KAPENG ARABO has landed PARIS, FRANCE.

Currently, we're having negotiation with a Pinoy group based in Paris. Ms. Desire Amojeda, the head, expressed interest in helping the book distribution among our kababayans in the most romantic part of the earth.

I shall give you the development of this negotiation as soon as I get any.

Hmmm... will this mean I'm gonna visit Paris for a book-launch? Ohhh....

Plase join me...I'm crossing my fingers.
