Mission Accomplished!
Jerald’s DAD is the most fulfilling role God has assigned to me.
Jerald has achieved a lot since he was a kid while I assumed the role as father and mother to him. I acted as his driver, chef, bodyguard, tutor, mentor, talent manager, best friend, etc. We fight too, argue and disagree but our love for each other is more than those.
I never thought that I can be a SUPER DAD because of him and he rewarded me for everything I did for him.. top academic achiever, runway model, host, dancer, international child actor, etc.
He just graduated with honors and the chess champion in his school for the higher class. Thank you Heavenly Father for choosing me to be his father 🙏...
A new chapter unfolds for both of us. He, to be with his mom in Canada by November and start his college course there... and me, maybe start again and mold another Jerald. Padayun lang ko God, Your will be done! 😎💕

Gen. Aguinaldo Creates Dictatorial Government
Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
JUNE 18, 1898
General Emilio Aguinaldo came out with a decree creating a dictatorial government.
While he was in Hongkong, U.S. Consul Rounsenville Wildman advised him to establish a dictatorial government which would be the nucleus of a republican government just like the United States.
Earlier, he asked Mariano Ponce to make a draft plan for a revolutionary government. Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, Aguinaldo's war adviser suggested that he form a dictatorial government.
On May 24, 1898, he announced his intention of establishing a dictatorial government.
Aguinaldo assumed command of all Filipino forces and made himself as titular dictator.
Power was vested to him to administer decrees promulgated under his sole responsibility.
The dictatorial government was a provisionary one until peace was established and liberty was achieved.
On June 23, 1898, the dictatorial government was changed to a revolutionary government.
