Paduano bucks defunding NTF-Elcac

April 23, 2021

HOUSE Minority Leader Stephen Paduano is against the proposal to defund the P19-billion budget of the National Task Force to end Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac).

Interior Decor Pieces With a Backstory and Inspired by Nature

This post is brought to you by Bloomist

Since I've been shopping vintage more often lately, I've been rethinking how I view decor objects. In a past life, I used to scan for perfection and rule out anything that wasn't pristine.
