Population Over Load

There are 80-million plus Filipinos in the Philippines alone. This is a common problem for developing country. Why can't we not limit our birth rate? Amidst government's program to family planing many Filipino family specially below the poverty line has many children. Why? One reason is Pinoy's lack of proper education to family planning method this result to unwanted pregnancy specially at a young age (include me on this statistics :-) Plus the hearsay method that result to failure of keeping the number of children low. Another is the church's contradicting belief to birth control (have we not populated the earth enough). And finally the Filipino mentality of having many children is a treasure. This is true if you have the financial freedom to support them all. But sad to say this is the opposite of reality to many Filipino family.

Observing the life of Pinoy in the urban area (Metro Manila) those that live in shanty have a an average of child more than five while those living in a neat place have less than three children. Ironic is it? But not all have negative impact to others as westerners envy Filipino for our productive nature. I heard a story before about a foreigner asking a Filipino how do those people living in carts have many children (mala-rabbit :-) while to them they still need to have a nice room before they could do it! (you know what i mean).

Thinking of this i only have one reason in mind...check out this video i got from iyottube.com.

Is It The Dog or The Man

A tragic news from Manila Bulletin about a Pitbull that killed it's owner; an old woman and injuring a 2 year old girl...read the full story here.

Sad to hear what happened...i'm concerned because i own a pitbull myself. A 3 year old female brown with white bindle fighting bread of pitbull. I'm a dog lover but this is the first dog i actually raised. I already owned an askals and mongrels before but they don't survived. This is why his dog is special for me and my three sons. I purchased this dog as a puppy cuz i wanted to teach my sons how to care for animals and also as a guard dog. But pitbull is not a guard dog..well this how many people view this kind of bread. Because many pitbull owners engage them to dog fights. This is why this pitbull bread is feared by people plus the pitbull's myth of locking jaws and bullets bounce right off them. LOL This is not true read PitbullLovers.com report about the pitbull myths.

Reason why i will choose pitbull over other bread (from toonspit.com) The Pit Bull is described as being reliable, hard-working, people loving, and multi-talented. The Pit Bull's intelligence, trainability and pleasant nature, make him an ideal candidate for therapy work with people. id you know Pit Bulls have a strong desire to please their owners. Pit Bulls also require minimal grooming. In fact, all they need is five minutes a day.

Pitbull like other dog is man's best friend, we just have to care for them as we want them to care for us. Not just pitbull bread is dangerous; other sports-bread dog like Rottweiler, German Sheperd, Doberman and other wild dogs. What is important is we consider them as part of the family to care and be cared.

Astrology - believe it or not

Do you believe in Astrology (from Greek: ἀστρο, astro, "constellation"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge")? Though rational people are skeptic to believers some still read their horoscope on local newspaper. I do, just for fun!

It's very intriguing to know about ourself, it's fun and could help us reach our goals. Since Astrology has been in study and used since the early civilization. The origins of the astrological doctrine and method are eminent in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

(as noted in wikipedia)

"Astrology had a profound influence over the past few thousand years on Western and Eastern cultures. In the middle ages, when even the educated of the time believed in astrology, the system of heavenly spheres and bodies was believed to reflect on the system of knowledge and the world itself below.

By the time of Francis Bacon and the scientific revolution, newly emerging scientific disciplines acquired a method of systematic empirical induction validated by experimental observations, which led to the scientific revolution. At this point, astrology and astronomy began to diverge; astronomy became one of the central sciences while astrology was increasingly viewed as an occult science or superstition by natural scientists. This separation accelerated through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is still criticized as being unscientific both by scientific bodies and by individual scientists."

Believing that celestial positioning affect the fundamental qualities of every person's personal aspect is uncanny accurate. Here are some list to think about just LOOK UP YOUR BIRTHDAY AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE.(Forwarded to my by my Friends)

If you are a Dog : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth! ! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified .

If you are a
Mouse : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-together' s. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Lion:
Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

If you are a
Cat : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a
Turtle : You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Dove :
You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a
Panther : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are a
Monkey : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

Local Pinoy Tourist - Good or Bad for Tourism


Thanks to the long holiday, our Kabayan have time to spend time relaxing and family get together. This year Boracay, Puerto Gallera and many beaches - resorts spot are flooded by tourist.

Surprisingly local tourist are reportedly greater this time that foreigners. Now...this is a good thing that Filipino's are enjoying life...plus the beauty of our country.

It may be a good news to you and me, but others specially business stall owner of resorts see it differently. Why? They say that local tourist are stingy, "kuripot", they don't buy from stalls but instead bring meal, "baon" and other stuff along. Funny to hear that Filipinos are always resourceful, "madiskarte" in every situation.

This is not the general perception of most business stall owner. Other's are happy and said that local tourist do spend and patronize stall goodies.

What every way other say or view this changing shift of local tourist. The bottom line is that we Filipino local tourists, balik-bayan or what ever they may be called, should be the first to explore and enjoy the beauty of our country.

Lets patronize and love more our country: "PHILIPPINES".

Dive Home

Korean, Singaporean and other Asian nationality have experience seeing our underwater nature. More promotion are given to the western countries to make Philippine a premiere dive destination in the world. Here are some pictures from Buracay Scuba.



Philippine At A Glance

Lonely Planet write on it's world guide introduction to Philippine.

"With a reputation for being chaotic and corrupt, the Philippines has something of an image problem. But most who make the journey to the 7000-odd islands that comprise the Philippines are pleasantly surprised by their beauty and by the friendliness of the people.

Most of the Philippines is laidback, stable and relatively safe. The locals are an exceptionally helpful bunch and there are fantastic reefs and fish. On top of this, transport is cheap, the food is good, accommodation is plentiful and (for the monolinguistic) English is widely spoken."

Sad to read such a review from a big site in tourism. Our government should be more vigilant in to stop the crimes and corrupts in our country. Better to ask more to media play a big role to uplift Philippine image. More than ever media should research and report more on the good news that's happening in our country not just the easy and sensational crime news.

I Personally hear a German nationals' sentiments about this awful image of our country. He said in reality Philippine is a peaceful place that where he came from, but because of bad news that they see and hear in our national news at first he was reluctant to visit. But in the end said "he is glad he took the chance". How he is happily living with his Pilipina wife in the metro.

But not all foreigner take this chance, I know a business man supposedly going to visit Philippine but his personal assistant, a Pinoy, gave out a negative comment about his country. Sad to hear that our Kabayan's are the one's not saying good thing about our country when in fact amids the chaos and bad news circulating to our country, I personally believe that Philippine is still the best country, best place and most beautiful land in the world.


Manila: Top 5 Travel Place.

2007 is a good year for "WOW PHILIPPINE TOURISM" Yahoo Travel and Travel One sited Manila as one of the top search place in the net early this year.

It's good to hear that we belong to the top search site like London-UK, Frankfurt-Germany, San Juan-Puerto Rico, Bangkok-Thailand, Paris-France, Rome-Italy, and Amsterdam-Netherlands. This will certainly boost more visitor specially Western foreigner.

Hope that the searchers are our Kabayan expat's who long to see the beauty of our country and the historical center, Manila.

Online Booking Service

Summer is time for family outing, barkada adventure and balik-bayan trip for some. Most rely on relative or friends for travel guide and companion to enjoy vacation. This is true because of Pinoy traits of "PAKI" or please, we tend to ask people we know about the beautiful place they've visited. But every person have their own taste or gratification for beauty. What's good for you may not be ok for others.

Good that Philippine Hotel Reservation Service or PHRS is now available. Another good thing is that the travel consultation with them is free of charge ... "no cost". You can call them to see if it fits your budget for a dream vacation. For domestic # 812-PHRS (7477) for international just add +632.

Enjoy the 2007 Summer.
