Welcome back!

Yes, there were some hiccups but it is still up and running. No word yet if it will have a mobile app.

Datu Kamandag's Venom | GMA News Online

July 28, 2014

When someone is sick, members of the Manobo tribe in Surigao go to one person--Datu Kamandag. Aside from being a Manobo chieftain, Datu Kamandag or Rosalio Culit (his real name) is known to cure the sick through the help of pit vipers.

Doc Ferds Recio witnessed how Datu Kamandag’s day went one time. After a tribe meeting, he attended to a number of “patients.” A local with a suspected urinary tract infection went to Datu Kamandag for the first time, hoping to be cured. The Datu reached for a juvenile pit viper and let the local be bitten on his arm once. He said it felt like an ant-bite. Another frequent “patient” who has a heart problem attested that the viper’s bite is effective. “Hindi na ako ulit inatake simula nang magpakagat ako,” she said.

Pope Leo XIV may be a celebrity in his own right, but the famous religious leader has plenty of starry relatives.

The New York Times traced the new pope's lineage, finding that he had relatives in Italy, Spain and France, some of whom later relocated to Quebec in the 1650s.

After tracing his roots back to Louis Boucher de Grandpre, one of his distant Canadian relatives, the Times found that Pope Leo, 69, is related to both Justin Bieber and Madonna through de Grandpre, who was born in the Quebec city of Trois-Rivières.

Other celebrities related to the pope through de Grandpre include Angelina Jolie and Hillary Clinton, as well as former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the late writer Jack Kerouac.
