Outshout Launches LIWALIW: Heritage Tours
Majayjay Falls, Majayjay, Laguna
In line with its vision to be a company that communicates CHANGE in the field of politics, governance, culture, arts, and environment, OUTSHOUT COMMUNICATIONS launches LIWALIW: A Tour to Philippines’ heritage sites and nature’s best.
LIWALIW, liwanag at aliw, transports participants to places that enlighten and entertain at the same time. PDI’s Tina Dumlao wrote, “It’s a shame, really, that many well-traveled Filipinos know more about other countries than they do their own, making them the proverbial strangers in their own homeland. Some might just need a little bit of convincing that they should know more about what makes the Philippines unique and why they should be proud to be called Filipino.”
This eco-cultural adventure hopes to do just that: to convince Filipinos and foreigners alike that there is so much to discover and to love in this country. Included in every tour are visits to Heritages Sites like centuries-old stone churches, cemeteries and bridges with accompanies historical tidbits to perk up your imagination and deepen your appreciation of our culture and history. Also part of the trip are nature tripping with accompanying lectures on the importance of nature conservation in the light of such issues as climate change and global warming.
Schedules this year:
LIWALIW SA LAGUNA – August
TARA SA BULACAN – September
BAYBAYIN NATIN ANG BATAAN – October

Quezon City court rules congressional bet a Filipino
MANILA, Philippines – A Quezon City regional trial court (RTC), reversing an earlier decision by another court, has ruled that congressional candidate Vivienne Tan, a daughter of businessman Lucio Tan, is a Filipino citizen and her name should not be stricken from the voter’s list.
In an order dated Feb. 9, RTC Branch 95 Judge Henri Jean-Paul Inting set aside the ruling made by the Metropolitan Trial Court (MTC) Branch 14 last January.
“A new one (decision) is rendered dismissing the petition for exclusion of a voter (Tan) from the list for lack of merit,” Inting said.
Tan’s opponent, incumbent District 1 Rep. Vincent Crisologo, filed the petition before the MTC.“The RTC is a higher court. Its decision will prevail,” one of Tan’s lawyers, Trixie Angeles, said during a press conference. She said they appealed the MTC decision favoring Crisologo, who claimed that Tan was not a Filipino citizen and should be excluded from the voter’s list in Barangay Sto. Domingo. Tan, who became a United States citizen in 1993, took an oath of allegiance to the Philippines on Nov. 30, 2009, then filed her certificate of candidacy the next day. She took the oath to reacquire her citizenship under Republic Act 9225, the law on dual citizenship.
“Tan having re-acquired her Filipino citizenship under RA 9225, she is deemed not to have lost her Filipino citizenship and is, therefore, a valid registered voter. In short, whatever defects respondent-appellant Vivienne Tan had in her nationality when she registered as a voter should now be deemed cured by her re-acquisition of her Filipino citizenship under RA 9225,” Inting said.
Tan said she considers the new court decision a “personal victory” that she said “affirmed that I am fully qualified to represent the people of District 1.”The court case is separate from a disqualification case also filed against Tan before the Commission on Elections, also questioning her citizenship.
