Taguig City , PHILIPPINES
Taguig is a city in Metro Manila in the Philippines. From a thriving fishing community along the shores of Laguna de Bay, it is now an important residential and industrial suburb of Manila. The recent construction of the C-5 highway and the acquisition of the Fort Bonifacio development area has paved the way for the cityhood of the municipality. Taguig City lies on the western shore of Laguna de Bay and is bordered by Muntinlupa City to the south, Parañaque City to the southwest, Pasay City to the west, Cainta and Taytay on the northeast and Makati City, Pateros, and Pasig City to the north.

Taguig City - Conflict I:
Research by: Andrea Denise Salcedo
Makati City and Taguig have recently fought over the jurisdiction of Fort Bonifacio. This Philippine military base, part of which has been converted to a modern commercial and residential development area, lies in an ambiguous area. A portion of the base, including the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Cemetery for the Heroes) and the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial lies within Taguig, while the northern portion where the development center is now located used to be considered part of Makati. A 2003 ruling by a judge in the Pasig Regional Trial Court has upheld the jurisdiction of Taguig over the whole of Fort Bonifacio.Read more: http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Taguig_City_-_Conflict/id/5503999

The NailClippers
Research by: Andrea Denise M. Salcedo
The Nailclippers, invariably called Clippers, was a Filipino pre-teen group of singers based in Japan. Members were the Serrano siblings, four boys--Dennis and three others whose first names are not available--and one girl--Dianne, the eldest of the brood. Wearing identical Atoy Co-like hairdo, they sing and dance like Menudo and Toto & His Children in the late ‘70s until the mid-‘80s. They appeared in German Moreno’s “GMA Super Show” and “Germespesyal.”
In 1979, The Nailclippers recorded a debut album for Vicor Music Corporation. In 1981, the group starred with Dina Bonnevie and Albert Martinez in the musical/comedy movie “Bakit Ba Ganyan.” In 1985, it recorded “Pag-ibig sa Ating Musika” for the 8th Metropop Music Festival. The group changed its name to Soulclippers when members turned Christian.
Based on uncomfirmed information, Dianne married and now uses the name Dianne Serrano-Pons and works as a teacher. She is supposed to be living in the US with three of her brothers except Dennis. Dennis was rumored to have been involved in drugs. He’s now a businessman and a worship leader at Victory Fort Bonifacio on Sundays.

Former Pres. Corazon Aquino's Message on the 400th Anniversary of St. Anne Parish, 1987

MALACAÑANG
Manila
MESSAGE
It is with great pleasure that I extend my warmest personal greetings and congratulations to the people of the Parish of St. Anne in Tagig, Metro Manila on the celebration of the Quadricentennial Anniversary of their parish.
As our country faces many changes and challenges, let us pause from our mundane yet mighty endeavor of nation-building to reflect on and pray for God's Divine Providence for our country and our people. Let us continue to pray as we carry on our struggle for economic development and recovery, and of change and renewal in our government and society. For we need a Divine Partner in such enormous undertaking, and a Guiding Hand to direct us towards our greater good.
However, let us not make prayer a substitute for the choices and courses of action we must take. Indeed, there cannot be a more potent force in achieving our ends than a combination of prayer and positive action, especially when these are done in a true spirit of Christian brotherhood and love.
My best wishes for a truly memorable and meaningful celebration! Let us continue to pray and work together by the grace of God and the power of our people.
