Balik-Tanaw | Radical waiting and radical witnessing
As I write this, I am now on the seventh sojourn of my life as a solitary pilgrim. I began this life after retirement when homelessness was imminent and that’s when I decided to embrace uncertainty. Embrace what is yet to come. Embrace what you don’t know. Embrace life as it comes. And that’s when I thought of volunteering for food and a place to lay my head. And it has been a most meaningful life of retirement one could ever live. A life in solidarity with the poor and marginalized is a life that is so much worth living for. A life of freedom and a life that gives the best lessons on humility. (As you age, you need more help from people, right?)

Celebrating 50 years of APCU
Last Monday, Feb. 26, 2024, the Association for Philippines-China Understanding celebrated its 50th anniversary at The Manila Hotel. As a new member of this organization, I was honored to meet more friends from the Filipino-Chinese community as well as the Chinese embassy in the Philippines, where it was very touching to be acknowledged for my Chinese roots, being part of the Lim family, as well as for the columns that I continue to write in The Philippine STAR, most especially when the original author of Roses and Thorns was my granduncle, Alejandro Roces......»»
