COMING
SOON: YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
Boy shows off his toy
rooster during the recent Longaniza Festival in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur,
407 kms north of Manila. The boy may not have known how coincidental his
display of the toy rooster was: after Vigan’s citizens, it would soon be
the turn of the Chinese to make merry as they usher in the Year of the
Rooster on Feb. 9. In Chinese astrology, the rooster is a symbol of
industry, resoluteness, and outspokenness. If we go by Chinese astrology,
the people would do well this year to be especially hardworking, resolute,
and outspoken in the continuing quest for justice and good governance.
