“MC CAN LAST” as my homepage and home base

By MC Canlas FB posted 5/22/2023

I would like to express my gratitude and acknowledgement to all those who sent me greetings and cheers via social media (Facebook, Messenger, emails, and text messages) for my birthday.

I would also like to welcome you to my new home base, my MC CAN LAST homepage.

Using my tripartite view of history, and mapping my life journey’s periodization, and these are 1) My homeland, the Philippines (from birth in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines to 1984), 2) my immigrant’s homeland, California, USA (1984-1988 Los Angeles, 1989 to 2023 in San Francisco), and 3) my duo homebase (San Francisco and San Fernando, Pampanga) which I am launching this year.

The location and locus are where I am sharpening my spatial framework of longing and belonging for a home.

My homepage address is mccanlast.com.

This is how I describe my home page.

• My homepage is an online repository of my works and writings. • It is the home of my published and unpublished works. Several of them were written for the print media that are not yet properly archived, remain undigitized, and are not easily accessible and available online. • It is a portfolio for my popular education works using social media and internet. • It serves as my résumé and a curriculum vitae. • It is a business card for my consultancy and services-in-demand. • It functions as a promotional vehicle for my on-going projects and entrepreneurial/business ventures. • I am currently based in two cities in two countries, and this homepage is my home base in cyberspace. • The contents of this homepage are in my own words in three languages, in English, Filipino/Tagalog, and Kapampangan.

This is how I introduce myself.

• MC Canlas is a seasoned non-profit agency executive, pop-ed educator, community strategist, historian, and ethnotour docent. • MC is based in two cities, San Francisco, California, USA and City of San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines. • Living life Open, Sincere and True (LOST) grows and thrives by sharing, telling, and retelling stories. As they say, LOST finds its way, and you can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others not only for today but for the next generations. MC is making himself available and accessible through his homepage and from his home base.

Tao Po. Tuloy Po. Welcome. I am inviting you to visit my home base.

I look forward to hearing from you. Salamat Po.
