March is the season of graduations in our country. Many schools and universities hold their commencement exercises on this month. For the graduates who made it, it is the season of rejoicing. Marching on stage to receive their diploma becomes a symbol of victory.
I WENT home to Bantayan Island for the "kalag-kalag." With nothing to do in the evening in our small town of Madridejos, I sat in front of the TV set with my aunties watching "Pinoy Big Brother."
