Bio
Blogger: MANUEL AMAD AMORA
I am Straight, Frank and Idealistic but deep within me I am Emotional and Sensitive.
Also, I am curious, open-minded, independent, observant and comfortable with people or friends with prolific ideas. I am deeply involved in social organizing or activism and presently exploring the comparative world of politics. I believed that the world would be a better place to live when there is “social equality” among races.
I started working away from home at the age of 28 and an OFW for 18 years now. I got married at the age of 32, my wife then "Minda Baguna Corpin" from Biliran, Leyte was 27. We have two precious gift from heaven named MARY DANIELLE "Angel" and MANUEL DANE.
