Imaginative

I plan to participate in next week's PSE's "Takbo para sa Ekonomiya" (Run for the Economy). Gasp!

For some reason, running for economic development doesn't seem to have the same bite as, say running for cancer awareness, leukemia research, Pasig River rehabilitation or Peace for Mindanao.

Which reminded me of one UP Lantern Parade from way back. While Archi, Eng'g, Fine Arts and the Music colleges were upstaging each other with their presentations, my dear alma mater, the venerable School of Economics, paraded their "lanterns" made of giant cut-outs of--get this-- bar graphs, charts, percentage signs, and banners printed with Gross National Product and Inflation!!!
