At least one Filipino hurt in London riots

 

MANILA—A FILIPINO was reportedly hurt during the riots and looting incidents in London, prodding the Department of Foreign Affairs to raise alert level one.

The DFA raised the alert level mere hours after reports came out that a Filipino was hurt in the riots and looting in London's northern area.

The Filipino, who refused to be identified, is now safe and is recovering, Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez said.

PinoyME: Poor pinoys are our partners

MANILA—THERE are interviews that are informative, exchanges that allow you to really connect with a stranger. There are interviews that enrich you, when you learn from someone else's experience, or when a new field of knowledge has suddenly been opened to you because of a short conversation.

Farmer Robert Laguitao makes his presentation to PinoyME and San Roque power officials

However, nothing prepares any writer for that rare moment when a person reveals one's spirit, and you just suddenly sense it—the determination and hope that makes one carry on, the faith in dreams that might fall short or perish, the spirit that has nearly shriveled at times in the acid test of poverty, and yet endures, and inspires, and every day is more powerful because it endures.
