On an overcast Sunday, Claire invites me to Enchanted Kingdom to see something I don't normally go out of my way of: a karting event. Specifically, it was the fifth leg of the Magnolia Karting Series held in the sprawling EK field. "You gotta see these boys from the Ready2Race team, they're really good!" she says.

Over in Barrio Siete, I talk about how a People Power funeral is shaping up for the late Former President Cory Aquino who will be buried beside her husband Ninoy later today at the Manila Memorial Park.
