Takbong Pangarap is Joy’s dream run, the ultimate (but perhaps not the penultimate) run of her life after proving herself that she can reach Pagudpud from Davao on foot. Covering a distance of 2,000 km South to North of the Philippines. Why run, like Forrest Gump? Joy derives happiness in running.

Here is an excerpt of the news: The Creative Korea Party recommended Judith Alegre Fernandez (37) as proportional representation for the general election held in April. A new chapter is expected to open in Korean political history as recognizing electoral eligibility of migrants. Moon Kook-hyun, the leader of the party, talked about the significance of this recommendation on the phone interview with IBMK. Criticizing that exi...
