A new dawn for LAZT

  LOS ANGELES ---  The past seven months was something I have never experienced in my life. I'm talking about the process of going through an unpleasant divorce---after 16 years of marriage.  But instead of feeling like it's the end of the world, I now feel like I'm starting life all over again with a new slate. However, I feel uneasy with the thought that I will no longer get to see my kids (John IV is 15 and Kristine is 14) as often as I could. 
    Sometimes in marriage no matter how hard you try to come up with a compromise with your partner---it is not a guarantee that the marriage will succeed. No matter how hard you try to make things work out if the other party looks the other way then nothing positive will come out of it.
    In life as in marriage we go through changes as we get older. The same thing can be said of L.A. Zamboanga Times. Despite the obstacles we have encoun-
tered over the years, God---and time---is on our side. 
   And we'll see to it that in the unlikely event that something like this will happen again in the future, L.A. Zamboanga Times will continue to serve and inform our readers---even if it means I may no longer be personally involved in putting out our online publication.
   This is also the reason why designated a group of few dedicated individuals to assist me in putting out L.A. Zamboanga Times. 
  They are: Titong San Juan (Managing Editor), Bobby Reyes (Assistant Editor), Gino Españo (Chief Photographer), Gines Villa (Advertising Manager) and Marita Enriquez-Branchflower (President and CEO).

last Sunday, August 4, in Los Angeles.
