What the Philippines Needs

A blog poster at Filipino Voices website wrote a very poignant piece titled "I Don't Need Heroes." Countering the clamor that the country needs another Jose Rizal or another Ninoy Aquino, he said that the country only needs people who do things the right way.

On Human Wings

You know, since I have been drawing vampire girls with bats' wings, I recalled one of my useless musings from long ago. You know, if humans really had wings, bat's wings would be more anatomically correct. We are used to bird's wings more because of how they were represented in old religious art on angels. And birds are more common to see in flight. Thus, people normally think of bird's wings on winged humans.

But why I say bat's wings? Humans are mammals. Bats are mammals. Birds are of a different family. So if humans sprouted wings, bat wings would be it. Well, for accuracy's sake, that is.

I think the thought of bat's wings as "evil" wings has to stop. haha.
