The merry month of May starts today!

We start by thanking/celebrating all workers throughout the world!

May they have sufficient/just pay in exchange for their service, humane work terms/conditions, stable contracts, protective environment and policy!

May ushers in summer/memories/reunions/ friendships/beaches/swimming, also of fun/laughter with family/relatives/friends, hometown visits/fiestas!

From May 1 to May 31, you can enjoy the fiestas in Bohol!

The Mary month of May also starts today!

Flores de Mayo/rosaries/processions/Santa Cruzan/ Our Lady of Fatima.

Mama Mary joins St. Joseph, her carpenter husband/ worker for his May 1 Feast Day May 1 so this month can also be considered as Mama Mary/Papa Joseph month of May!

May 2025 is significantly different as there are important elections to be held soon.

The world awaits the next Pope after the passing of the deeply-beloved Pope Francis last Easter Monday.

In the Vatican, about 135 Cardinals under age 80 will gather this 7thof May for the Conclave - "the centuries-old of a pope that derives its name from the Italian "conclave" (with a key) to underscore that cardinals are sequestered until they find a winner."
