Introduction Welcome to Mabuhay Writings-1, a compilation of essays, news, opinions, anecdotes and ideas by Bobby M. Reyes. He is a prolific writer, a keen watcher of people and events, and full of wits and satirical commentaries. He has vast experience to back up his writings. I am grateful that he consented that I start publishing his writings. He has a collection of almost 4000 articles. I made a random selection of 19 articles in this first series of Mabuhay Writings. The choice of title, Mabuhay Writings, came from the title of his famous website, www.mabuhayradio.com, the location of his writings. Writings are timeless documents and they act as mirrors of history. I publish and reprint books as they remain relevant anytime. I produce solo-author books, columnists' books, novels, opinions, essays, art books, pictorial albums, family trees, joke books, songhits, biographies, travelogues, reunions, in color or black/white, etc. Why put writings in a hardcopy or book? And not just in the internet. Well, the hardcopy is there for posterity and availability. Not all use the internet. Sometimes, internet has problems. I publish or reprint free of charge under POD system (Print-On-Demand. Print is always available and for all eternity, unless the owner or author chooses to halt its publication. + + + About the Author Highlights Foremost of all, a writer Studied Majored in Journalism at San Beda College Married to Ceny R.
