Senatorial candidate Atty. Adel Tamano says he’s very grateful and humbled upon learning that Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is extending his full support on his candidacy.

“I am undoubtedly grateful to Mayor Duterte. His endorsement means a lot to me and I am very humbled by the fact that he trusts and believes in me and in what I can do not only for Mindanao but for the entire country,” Tamano enthused, adding that since Davao City loves its chief executive, he’s hopeful that the Dabawenyos will also extend their full support on his candidacy and to the rest of the Nacionalista Party.

Tamano, the first ever Filipino Muslim scholar-graduate of Harvard Law School and youngest president of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, is a proud son of Marawi City.

“Mayor Duterte’s endorsement will most definitely provide a boost in my campaign. We actually share a lot of advocacies. Both of us believe that the rule of law should prevail, that citizens should be responsible and accountable for their actions and that education should be provided budgetary priority. We also both acknowledge the fact that peace is key especially here in our beloved Mindanao,” Tamano underscored.

HOTEL REVIEWS – Paragon Suites Cebu City is located along Juana Osmena Street, Cebu. Roughly a 10-minute walk away from bustling Mango Avenue (where there’s a lot of videoke places, bars, restaurants, coffee shops and Internet cafe stations), Paragon Suites is ideal for people who want cheap accommodations in Cebu City. One can classify Paragon Suites Cebu as a budget hotel, a budget pension house or a cheap inn with the basic amenities.

I stayed at Paragon Suites Cebu City just a few days ago. I stayed for a total of 3 days and truth be told, I didn’t quite enjoy my stay and therefore will never find myself staying at Paragon Suites Cebu ever again.

But more on that after the jump. Here’s a look at my superior room (rate was P1,380.00 per night):

My room was fully carpeted and fully airconditioned. It had a small refrigerator, a work desk and a chair, two single beds, a television set (not an LCD one, unfortunately) and a bathroom with hot and cold shower. I was provided with two bath towels, two soaps and two sachets of shampoo. There were also two pairs of slippers near the television set but I didn’t bother using them, lest that I catch a foot disease or something. There wasn’t any indication that the slippers were sanitized.

Here’s a look at another part of the room:

Nacionalista Party senatorial candidate Atty. Adel Tamano recently met with several members of the Davao City, Mindanao traditional and new media. The young senatoriable, who hails from Marawi City and is the first ever Filipino Muslim scholar-graduate of Harvard Law School, was recently in my hometown Davao City for the 3rd National Ulama Conference. Tamano got the support of the ulamas, by the way, and there are strong talks that the 5 million Filipino Muslims will support the Adel Tamano for Senator Movement. Adel Tamano, by the way, is the son of the late Senator Mamintal Tamano.

Atty. Adel Tamano is also the former president of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, where he introduced so many changes. A constitutional law professor, a published writer, former spokesperson of the Genuine Opposition and now spokesman of the Nacionalista Party, Atty. Adel Tamano also holds the distinction of being the first ever Filipino Muslim who served as commencement speaker at Harvard Law School.

Adel Tamano is being endorsed by popular action star Robin Padilla, fellow Mindanaoan and Moro National Liberation Front chairman Nur Misuari and singer-actor Ogie Alcasid.

Mindanaoan will again be on a very-proud-sister-mode. My professional photographer-brother Bon, along with fellow photographer Onat Neri, was invited to be one of the official sponsoring photographers of Miss Liceo Emerald, a pageant held at Liceo de Cagayan University, one of the bigger colleges in Northern Mindanao. The Miss Liceo Emerald pageant is only held every five (5) years so yes, it’s pretty much a big deal.

Speaking of SPONSORS — my brother Bon and I were treated shabbily and, I daresay, rather rudely, in a recent event. More about this in the succeeding days. Stay tuned.

Here are some of the photos taken of the Miss Liceo Emerald 2010 candidates:
