Can you still reminisce…..? By Gamson Jr Mawallil Quijano This is our house in Jolo, Sulu where I happily grew up and spent many precious memories with my family and loved ones. Can you still reminisce..... The time that you were a toddler and together with your treasured family in one place you called "HOME"?  The time that when it’s time to eat, you will happily eat all together in one table with your parents, siblings and other members of the family.

One fine day, I was mesmerized when I noticed dried petioles and lawns which she singly pecked from the soil and patiently carried it to the fourth floor of our building. Amazingly, I found out that she used it to build her nest to lay and incubate her eggs and to raise her youngs. Sadly, one day, her unfinished nest was ruined by the gusty winds. Nevertheless, she was unstoppable. Out of mother’s ultimate love and mercy for her new offsprings, she courageously and tirelessly built a new one.
