Almanacs

Have you read the Almanac of Honorio Lopez? I recently found its Panay counterpart: The Almanaque Panayanhon. This one is written by Casimiro F. Perfecto of Mandurriao, Iloilo City and is being distributed throughout Visayas and Mindanao and even Romblon. While the H. Lopez Almanac is on its 109th year, this almanac started its publication in 1877!
This year's edition has an editorial about charter change, the elections, and the death penalty. It also has a chronology of events, important and otherwise:

• Kutub sang pagtuga sang kalibutan: 7212
• Kutub sang pagkasapu ni Magallanes sang Pilipinas: 486
• Kutub sang paghusay sang kalendaryo ni Papa Gregorio: 435
• Paglupok sang Mt. Pinatubo: 16

There's also a list of religious feasts and official holidays and some literary and history pieces. Interestingly there's also a health advisory regarding the Guimaras Oil Spill.
