Mango Outlets Philippines –Stores and Branches List

2012-04-02T01:46:00.000-07:00

You were asking it, you got it! Here are the lists of all Mango Outlets in the Philippines. I love Mango. They always suit my taste in fashion and clothing style. I prefer shopping at Mango Outlet than shopping at Forever 21. This fashion hub offers the world’s latest fashion and trends. If you’re abroad and you missed the hot styles in your country, go to any Mango store and shop what you’ve been missing.

I was so happy when Mango Outlet opened their branch in my hometown, Pampanga. Now, we don’t need to go to the Metro and shop at my favorite clothing store because it’s just a drive away. I always love Mango’s pants. They fit perfectly to me. Plus the latest tops to match any outfit. They go on sale too like more than twice a year. Some people know them as factory outlet sale. Shopping has never been this easy and affordable.

Mango is well known worldwide especially in the UK, USA, France, Singapore, India, Hong Kong and many more countries. It is based in Barcelona Spain. Now, we can also shop online to any Mango outlet provided with minimum orders requirement.

Daniel Padilla Craze | New Heartthrob and Big Star

2012-03-31T20:10:00.002-07:00

No matter where you go here, teens go crazy about this new teen heartthrob and promising star of ABS CBN, Daniel Padilla. Daniel was from the famous showbiz Padilla clan. From the beautiful genes of Karla Estrada and Rommel Padilla, this teen sensation surely is a big magnet to everyone. If he’s a son of Rommel, that makes him a nephew of the two well known Padilla actors, too – Robin and Rustom. Looking at Daniel, he reminds me of Zoren though. He’s got that appeal….

That “kilig” appeal to any girl who looks at him. What more if this boy stares at you? He will definitely blow you away. Anywayz, going back to Daniel, here is a brief and short bio about this 16 year-old cutie pie:

Real Name: Daniel John Ford Padilla

Nickname: DJ

Birthdate: April 26, 1995

School Attended: Montessori de San Juan where he’s a member of the basketball varsity team

Current TV shows: Princess and I, ASAP XV

Endorsements: Bench, Nike Dunks, Bum

Twitter: @imdanielpadilla

Facebook: (no official Facebook yet)

source: KBvsSA and Palabirokatalaga Tumblr

DJ is also paired with Kathryn Bernardo. The said loveteam is well known as Kathniel for fans. They are always trending in Twitter and other social networks like Tumblr. DJ has been paired with GMA’s current teen star, Bea Binene for Bum Clothing endorsement.

Daniel plays guitar and is a member of the band, Parking 5. Oh wow, this young actor is oozing with talents. He actually just recorded his digital single recently and will be released under Star Records. Girls swoon around him when he serenades them.

Daniel Padilla’s lovelife is all over the craze, too. Whilst he admitted his admiration and feelings for his love team, Kathryn Bernardo, it’s too early to tell. They are too young for Pete’s sake. Currently, his tv primetime show, Princess and I, has trended about Enrique Gil’s interest to fellow star, Kathryn. Let’s see what Daniel will say about that. Let’s wait about KathNiel’s fans too.

How much is ipad 3 in the Philippines | ipad3 Price

2012-03-18T22:43:00.001-07:00

So how much is ipad 3 in the Philippines? The price of ipad 3 here is cheaper than ipad 2. Since Apple released the third generation of the world’s loved tablet, the ipad, last March 16 to some countries like the USA, UK, Singapore, Japan, and others, they also announced that the 16gb ipad 3 will be only $499. Yup, so after a week since the release date, ipad 3 will be available to some more countries like New Zealand, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Macau and many more (see the list of countries on ipad 3 vs ipad 2 comparison) After a week later, some more countries will release the latest ipad 3 like India, Malaysia, UAE and the Philippines.

Ipad 3 is expected to be available all over Asia like the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam by April. Though the famous tablet was released first in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore. In the Philippines, ipad 3 is expected to cost P21,990 for the 16gb ipad 3 wifi, P26,990 for the 32gb, and 31990 for the 64gb. Ipad 3 with 4G and wifi are much expensive like always especially now that 4G LTE networks rule the future of fast internet and web communication.

new ipad 3

ipad 2 prices has dropped. Price starts at P18,990 for the 16gb black and white ipad compared from the P23,990 before it went on sale when ipad 3 was not yet out in the market and the world. So would you settle for the new ipad 3? Tell me by commenting.

Ipad 3 price in the Philippines is making me smile so much. I want to upgrade my ipad 2 into new ipad 3. I wish Apple and Mac stores here offer an upgrade so my lovely ipad 2 won’t be wasted.

2012-01-26T23:27:00.000-08:00

So how much is the price of Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the Philippines? The release of the Galaxy Nexus in the USA last December is the release date of iphone 4s in thePhilippines. And this March 2012, looks like the first Android phone running in the latest Ice Cream Sandwich will come in the Philippine market. Yup yup Google and Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be available in the country sooner than expected. I am sure Smart and Globe are very much excited about this than everyone.

Yeah why not, because the two giant companies will again offering awesome and tempting options for their Galaxy Nexus postpaid and prepaid plans. You ask me if I got any idea how much would Globe offer the Galaxy Nexus in postpaid? I guess it’s pretty much the same if not a thousand more pricey than the iphone 4s.

The price of Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the USA is $649 and it was already decreased by the introductory selling price of 700 plus. In the Philippines, Samsung Galaxy Nexus is expected to be around P 29,999. Whilst the Samsung Galaxy Note in the Philippines which is currently hot in the techy mobile world here was introduced at P33,000, it’s now available for P28,999 in some stores. If you ask me what would I choose between Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus, of course I’d choose the phone. Hehe The phone that’s not at the same time a tablet if you get me. I want to try how Google and Samsung worked to produce this amazing phone.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus features and specs will let you experience all-Google and the luxury of having Google+. I love its mobile hangout feature which lets a person to chat face to face with his 9 friends. How cool! Plus the Face Unlock feature. I am amazed by the excellent graphics the screen has which is perfect for the apps and games in the Adroid mobile system.

ASEAN Common Visa: Single Visa Requirement for Countries

2012-01-22T01:43:00.000-08:00

ASEAN countries, we all know are enjoying the pleasure of visa free or visa exemption. Being a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations, we no longer have to make an appointment to secure a visa before visiting a fellow ASEAN country. The tourism board of ASEAN has started to establish a common visa or single visa for non ASEAN countries since last year and this visa-free policy is expected to be completed this year 2012.

The ASEAN common visa aims to have a single visa for countries listed in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It means that the visa holder can travel all the countries of ASEAN using one single visa. Having the ASEAN single visa is just like the famous Schengen visa which was established for European countries.

What are the benefits of the ASEAN single visa? Non ASEAN countries will have the benefits of saving time and money from securing visa prior to their visits to any ASEAN country. You can avoid the hassles, and expenses you would meet in obtaining individual visas for each country. It can attract more tourists to visit as much as countries under the asean. People around the world can see the beautiful places in Southeast Asia just using one single visa. It can also increase employment, jobs and businesses all over the counties of ASEAN team.

Apparently, with the ASEAN single visa, the list of countries you can travel is below. Updated membersof the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are:

Brunei Darussalam

Cambodia

Indonesia

Lao People’s Democratic Republic

Malaysia

Myanmar

Philippines

Singapore

Thailand

Vietnam

While the establishment of the ASEAN single visa is still in the oven, isn’t it amazing to visit all the counties listed above using just one visa? I hope the agreement will be polished this year 2012 as expected. As to what purpose of travel, tourist, business, or study, the common visa may apply for tour or both or more. While the ministries are carefully baking the cake, I think this policy is so amazing. Asean visa exemption requirement will boom the travel economy in the Southeast Asia. Let’s keep our fingers crossed so the rules will be settled and completed soon.

How much is iphone 4S in the Philippines?

2012-01-09T22:43:00.000-08:00

If you want to know how much is the new iphone 4S in the Philippines right now, 2012, you are in the right page. As you noticed when you visit the official Apple website and searched for the price of iphone 4S, it was supposed to be there. But Apple has gave phone carrier companies the pleasure to entertain interested customers and buyers for that so they link us instead according to phone carriers like Globe Telecom, Smart, and Sun Cellular.

CC BY Brett Jordan via Flickr

Sales of the latest iphone baby have increased in the country especially the peak of holidays before 2012 smiled to us. The price of iphone 4s in the Philippines has shocked me after the release date not gonna lie. I remember it’s about 60 grand and at that time it’s not yet released in the market here and I was like, “definitely not gonna buy 4S…” but since the holidays came, I could say it’s not that bad. I mean it can be considered as affordable since the features and parts of the Apple gadget won’t embarrass anyone. For less four grand or something, you can enjoy the amazing features like the super fast Dual Core A5 Chip, 8 megapixel camera and 1080p High definition video recording, the famous and soon to be your bestfriend, Siri, iOS 5, and many more stunning specs and resolutions.

iphone 4s price in the Philippines

Selling price is updated right now January 10, 2012. Data are both for iphone 4S black and white your choice.

iphone 4S 16GB P 33,200

iphone 4S 32GB P 38,300

iphone 4S 64GB P 43,200

The selling price nationwide from malls and Mac resellers like iStudio and PowerMac Centers are the same and close to the available prices for prepaid for mobile phone carriers like Smart. If you prefer postpaid, then you might want to see the page where I listed all the iphone 4s Postpaid and Prepaid Plans for Globe. If you’re practical like me, I’d rather buy the unit alone without a contract. I have a wifi at home anyway. Check out Smart plans for iphone 4s, too.

Happy Lemon Franchise Philippines

2011-12-06T21:40:00.001-08:00

Since Happy Lemon has four branches already in the country, it’s so obvious people here are loving the taste of the most popular milk tea café today. After having a cup or two of my favorite Cocoa Milk Tea and Puff Cream, my friend asked me, how to franchise Happy Lemon in the Philippines? You think how much would it cost? You see it’s not only a yummy refreshment, a lot of people are throwing numbers already at thinking to open a franchise of HL.

It dawned on me that my friend was serious because after that, we pulled over at another famous Bubble Tea café in Greenhills. They serve the Taiwan version of their bubble teas. I love the tea and coffee intermix to the one I ordered. I noticed that majority of their customers were Chinese and students. All of them were chilling there with their laptops and tablets on. I thought, this has never even been a Starbucks scene. People chill at coffee shops and they have their smoking area. This one is pure refreshing. Milk tea business targets the youth and the teens that’s what I’m so sure of. Happy Lemon franchise fee, hmmm I need a large cup of their bestseller rock salt and cheese for that one. That’s a one million question. You have to treat me for the answer. (laughs)

Back to my friend, he was from La Salle, too. And he was so madly interested to open a Happy Lemon branch in Pampanga. And he was thinking to start a kiosk type of it serving in front of a university. He’s quite a businessman himself. And I love the idea of making a partnership.

Anywayz, Happy Lemon’s birth was from Hong Kong. Chris Tiu, basketball heartthrob, Fil-Chinese young businessman here got the idea when he and his friends were searching about a milk tea business in the country since this type of business doesn’t have too much competitors. Apparently, the group went abroad, all around Asia to find the best milk tea. Until they tasted Happy Lemon in Hong Kong. They knew it was the one.

From an article from Manila Bulletin, Chris Tiu and his friends admitted it wasn’t that easy when Happy Lemon franchise was granted to them. Tiu’s group was the pioneer of Happy Lemon in the Philippines. Just like any other franchise business, opening your first branch is a tough job. But then, hard work will pay off eventually. Since their first branch was successful, the opening of HL in the Philippines on 2010 followed more branches. Today, 2011, Happy Lemon has already four branches. And it seems that Chris Tiu’s group has the exclusive franchise for now. And Happy Lemon branches are only in Manila for now. If you are interested to franchise Happy Lemon and open a branch somewhere your place, you can know the details, franchise fees, Happy Lemon menu and deals at the official website of Happy Lemon. If you know Mandarin, it will be a big plus for you to negotiate and all.

Bicol Express PNR Fare and Schedules

2011-12-04T20:14:00.001-08:00

After I have published about the PNR Station Schedules and Fares for 2012, I am now here, as promised, to blog about the famous Bicol Express, fares and schedules. It’s not about the famous spicy dish, bicol express, it’s about the awesome voyage of PNR train going to Bicol.

PNR and its famous fleet, the Bicol Express route, is active again since the successful test last June 2011. It is now serving passengers to its maiden voyage with new trains donated by Japan. Though the trains are not totally brand new, they are good enough to give comfort and convenient ride home. Bicol express train stations and complete list of terminals were discussed on my article highlighted on the first paragraph if you wanna take a peek.

To have a bit of experience of the new sleeper train, I have uploaded some Bicol express train photos and pictures for you to see. A friend of mine couldn’t wait enough to ride the new train and experience Bicol. She went with her family, saw the perfect cone volcano peak, Mt. Mayon and visited Naga City…then Camarines Sur. I admit, it’s a perfect travel adventure for backpackers and travel addicts who prefer cheaper tours and fantastic journey. Inside the sleeper train, this is what it’s gonna look like and it’s gonna be…

family sleeper PNR

PNR New Sleeper Train

Looks comfy and nice enough to sleep in for the long train-ride from Manila to Bicol. The only thing that lacks is a wifi enabled zone. I wish PNR will make it possible soon as it’s kind nakaka-inip…Thank God if you’re using internet plans on your phone, you can surf the web and Facebook anytime. lol I suggest you bring your extra food and water too so you won’t be hungry to wait for the next stopover. And oh, a cologne to spray your cabin.

This is suitable for groups of travelers or families. Your friends could like a Bicol Express trip. You just have to plan it well and prepare your budget. Know the train stations, schedules and plan your itinerary. Know your stops, departure and arrival.

Reclining seats…

Feels like just a bus and a plane. I wish there are no Volde’s creatures here or else I’ll bring my wand. Ok, I kid there. I’m still not so over with Harry Potter, I’m sorry. The reclining seats are okayish and thank goodness it’s air-conditioned.

Bicol Express Schedule

Manila to Bicol: 6:30pm at Tutuban Station
Bicol to Manila: 6:30pm at Naga Station

It will take about 12 hours to reach your destination. Though at some situations, it takes shorter or longer. You can buy a ticket from the main station of the trip at Tutuban Center in Manila. Tutuban is in Divisoria.

Bicol Express Fares 2012

Reclining seats P548.00

Sleeper train P950 (P665:00 for the promo)

Executive sleepers P1,425 (P997.50 for the promo)

Fares and prices may change from time to time. No worries, I’ll try to go here to update this post whenever the price changes.

Since the official website of PNR is not yet available, you can book in advance and have your reservations via phone at +63.2.319.0041 ext. 122. I will post the website here once it’s live and working.

Your few days of stay in Waldorf Astoria could give you the grandest condo unit already here in the Fort or Makati. Don’t freak out. It’s the Philippines plus the magic of exchange rate. Ok forget about the buying a condo because you’re an outsider. lol I’m gonna publish about that topic on my other website. Let’s just talk about hotel accommodation and the amazing prices you’d never know. I have reviewed the current prices for the best hotels accommodation in the country updated at 2012.

Also I’ve listed the top and most luxurious hotels in the country along with their prices. They are from Manila and Cebu. Thank you and enjoy reading.

List of 5 star hotels in the Philippines

The lists of best hotels in the Philippines are listed together with their rates and prices in pesos as dollar and other currencies often fluctuate. The rates are based from regular days or low season. Rates rise a bit especially during Holy Week, Christmas, New Year, Holidays, weekends and summer.

CC BY-ND 2.0 The Cosmopolitan of Las vegas

Makati Shangri-La

Superior Room – P 9, 500 per night

Deluxe Room – P 10, 300 per night

Executive Room – P 11, 340 per night

Deluxe Suite – P 16, 740 per night

Specialty Suite – this suite is intended for special purposes like family travel or business groups who need special accommodations and facilities. Reservation for this suite requires direct booking so you have to contact the hotel.

Presidential Suite – this is their grandest room which is on top floor of the hotel. This is often booked by celebrities, diplomats, executives thus this suite serves the highest level of luxury. You have to contact the exact hotel for room reservation of the presidential suite.

Take note that rates are per room and for one person only. Prices may add a bit let’s say a thousand to few for two person. However, it wouldn’t double the displayed price above. For more info about the beautiful and high class Shangri-la hotel in Makati, go to their official website and book there directly. The Shang rocks! Because it’s along Ayala avenue, across The Manila Peninsula hotel, just an elevator away from Greenbelt, Glorietta, SM Makati, and famous business establishments and offices in the Philippines. I’d rather be still at Shang. :)

By the way, you can also find other Shangri-La hotel in the Philippines like the Edsa Shangri-La. And if you love the azure beaches of the Philippines like Boracay and Cebu, there are Shangri-La Boracay Resort and Spa in Boracay and Mactan Resort and Spa in Cebu City. Rates for accommodations to these resorts are different from that of the hotel because of the different atmosphere, facilities and services.

Manila Hotel

Grand Deluxe – P 7, 150

Superior Deluxe – P 7, 995

Sunrise / Sunset Suite – P 16, 150

MacArthur Suite – P 25, 000

I value heritage and elegance. Manila Hotel is simply one of the best hotels in the country. History will be repeating to say this all the time. This is a Philippine treasure. This domain stands by the bay, overlooking the Manila bay and just along the famous Roxas Boulevard, close to popular Landmarks like Luneta Park (Rizal Park), Manila Ocean Park, SM Mall of Asia, Intramuros, US Embassy and many more.

The Peninsula Manila

Since I’m here to give a glance of the rates for 2012, I’m sharing their Winter Escape special promo which is valid from November 2011 to April 2012. The packages includes cool treats such as daily buffet breakfast, complimentary benefits, one way Mercedez Benz airport transfer (wow!) or champagne and snacks, guided jeepney tour with lunch and dinner. Wow, this is cool!

Superior Garden Room – P 11, 500 per night

Deluxe Room – P 12, 500

Deluxe Garden Room – P 13, 500

Grand Deluxe Room – 14, 000

Also known as Manila Pen (from The Manila Peninsula), this affluent hotel is along the Makati Avenue and Ayala Avenue, next to Shangri-La hotel. Means, it’s also a perfect place to stay when you wanna be close to the famous and elite malls, huge banks, and the capital business district of the Philippines.

Sofitel Philippines Plaza

Superior Room – (2 single beds, city view) P 8, 500 per night

- (1 king bed, bay area) P 10, 200 per night

Luxury Room – (2 single beds, city view) P 10, 300

- (1 king bed, bay area) P 11, 990

Junior Suite – ( 1 king bed, bay or city view) P 19, 000

This five star hotel is unique for its resort setting. If you wanna be close to theaters, casinos, museums, SM Mall of Asia, and government offices, Sofitel hotel would suit your choice.

Marriott Hotel Manila at Resorts World Manila

I am so looking forward to be here at Resorts World Manila. This is already more than a five-star hotel even before it has been built. Since its opening at October 2009, it has become one of the most glittered butterflies at the heart of Manila, well the whole Philippines I must say. This famous International hotel is just 15 minutes away from the NAIA airport and Bonifacio Global City Taguig, and 15 minutes from the Makati central business district. You have no reason why not to book here coz of it’s name. Marriott hotels are high class and are internationally known from its prestige and leisure. If you wanna relax, shop, dine, enjoy and play, this is THE place to be at Marriott Hotel Resorts World Manila.

Nightly rates ranges from P 8,500 above.

InterContinental Manila

Standard – P 6000 above

Deluxe Room – P 6,300 to P 6, 500

Suites – P 9,000 to P 12,000

InterContinental Manila is also along Ayala Avenue in Makati. It’s good to stay while in business meetings, or simply relax at the richest city of the country close to other famous landmarks.

Pan Pacific Manila

Pan Pacific Manila Hotel is in Malate Manila, just twenty minutes away from the airport, close to lots of cultural highlights of Manila like Rizal Park, Intramuros, National Museum, Manila Hotel, Manila Bay and many more. This hotel has been ranked as one of the top hotels in the Philippines by TripAdvisor.

Dusit Thani

Samsung Galaxy Note Price Philippines, Features, Review

2011-09-29T01:19:00.000-07:00

How much is the latest Samsung Galaxy Note in the Philippines? I’m so sure gadgets and smartphones lovers are so excited for their Christmas gadget shopping. Samsung has announced that the release of the latest and most talked about Samsung Galaxy Note in the Philippines will be this October and yours truly has known the selling price of the stunning galaxy note in the country. Don’t choke, it’s all worth it, for P33, 000 (right now Feb. 2012) because you’ll be rewarded for being a smart shopper. All worth it. Why not, you got a super large screen Smartphone ahead even before having the latest Apple iphone 5.

How much is the new galaxy note to other countries..In the UK, my sweetheart’s place, it’s available for an introductory price of £600 while $960 to a grand in the US. India, I give way to others here. Some rumors though that the new Galaxy Note won’t be available until December here. In that case, I’m sure Singapore and Hong Kong will tempt your pockets if that's the release date.

Samsung Galaxy Note Review of Features and Specs

Why should I grab the new Samsung Galaxy Note and forget about a galaxy tab? It’s been compared on apps and mobile’s homepage, “Samsung Galaxy Note vs Samsung Galaxy Tab: Which is Better” Of course if you’re so nag-titipid, and really can’t afford a whopping thousand bucks of dollars to have the new Galaxy Note in your hands this season, you’d rather prefer the galaxy Tab wi-fi version of P1000. It’s almost half the price compared to the Note. But, frick it. This new baby is 5.3 HD Super AMOLED display, the largest and first screen to be portable with smartphones , and runs in a 1.4GHz dual core processor and Android Gingerbread 2.3. Not to mention, I love her smart S Pen and S Memo optimized breakthrough making it quite unique and the only one to have such features. Plus its professional photography functions are impressive if you love taking photos and capturing videos with its 8 megapixel camera. Games are realistic just like playing on a LG Optimus because it’s freaking fast and has a very clear 1080 full HD feature. Just comfy in the hand coz of its sleek and thin design.

To finish this review, the new Samsung Galaxy Note is not just a notepad or notebook or smartphone. It’s an all-in one on-the-go gadget – versatile note pad, Smartphone portable, multipurpose tablet and overflows a cup of mobile device benefits. Take this Note and you can’t miss anything.

Facebook Share Button not Working Today on Blogger, Wordpress and Websites

2011-07-27T23:46:00.000-07:00

Facebook share button error – FB share button not showing number of shares and counts. It’s been almost a week now since I noticed that my website’s Facebook share button is not working properly. Both my Facebook share counts from my floating social widget and FB share button from my homepage are not counting the shares. All else are working and counting properly (Twitter, Google plus one, and StumbleUpon) buttons are doing their job. Before I go crazy, I checked some websites who use the same floating social buttons and plug ins and found out that their Facebook buttons are frozen, too. So my panic has cooled down and I think it’s just a temporary glitch. Facebook developers might be doing some tweaks or upgrades I guess. So I’m gonna sit and chill for a while and see what happens…

Anywayz, my Facebook like button is still working and showing the number of likes from people. In the mean, time I’ll just let the FB share button settle its own and be back to where it’s been. I think it’s just a glitch or they are really under maintenance or something. After all, there’s been another big G update few days ago and Facebook is always updating every now and then, too. Blah, I just hope the F shares will count and appear again. Perhaps, the developers may permanently remove the ‘Facebook Share Button’ and just let us all use the ‘Like Button’ instead.

I’ll be back for an update whether I fixed the error or not. In the mean time, I’ll be reading some poetry from my baby. ;) In case you know how to fix the Facebook shares and counts button, tell me, ok? Right now the error is seen to websites in Blogger, Wordpress and other websites who use the social networking button platform…

UPDATE: AUG. 1, 2011 - FACEBOOK SHARE BUTTON IS WORKING AGAIN YAY!

How to become a Citizen of the Philippines?

2011-07-25T00:18:00.000-07:00

Recently I’ve published about ‘who are the citizens of the Philippines’ now I’m here to answer a request from the question on how to become a citizen of the Philippines…in this case if you’re a foreigner or alien or simply not naturalized as Filipino or citizen here.

You see there are mainly 3 ways on how to acquire citizenship in the Philippines which are included from the definition of who are the citizens of the Philippines according to the article of the Philippine constitution. I won’t discuss the sections anymore as they’ve been explained from my previous article which was highlighted above. In this page, I’m gonna focus on how to become a citizen of the Philippines.

3 Modes and Bases on Becoming a Filipino Citizen

1. By birth – this is quite explanatory. You’re an automatic citizen if you were born here in the Philippines

2. By blood – you are a Filipino citizen if your parents (father and mother) are citizens of the Philippines or if one from your parents is a Filipino citizen provided you are born on or after January 17, 1973 (date of ratification of the 1973 Constitution).

3. By naturalization. In this case, according to the Bureau of Immigration of the Philippines, it is the judicial act of adopting a foreigner and clothing him with the privileges of a native-born citizen. It implies the renunciation of a former nationality and the fact of entrance into a similar relation towards a new body politic.

Qualifications and Requirements on How to Become a Citizen of the Philippines by Naturalization

The following are the requirements according to the Section 2 of the Revised Naturalization Act of the Philippines on how to acquire citizenship by naturalization:

He must not be less than twenty-one years of age on the day of the hearing of the petition;

He must have resided in the Philippines for a continuous period of not less than ten years;

He must be of good moral character and believes in the principles underlying the Philippine Constitution, and must have conducted himself in a proper and irreproachable manner during the entire period of his residence in the Philippines in his relation with the constituted government as well as with the community in which he is living;

He must own real estate in the Philippines worth not less than five thousand pesos, Philippine currency, or must have some known lucrative trade, profession, or lawful occupation;

He must be able to speak or write English or Spanish or anyone of the principal languages;

He must have enrolled his minor children of school age in any of the public or private schools recognized by the Bureau of Public Schools of the Philippines where Philippine history, government and civics are taught or prescribed as part of the school curriculum, during the entire period of the residence in the Philippines required of him prior to the hearing of the petition for naturalization as Philippine citizen;

However

Under Section of 4 of the Revised Naturalization Law, the following persons cannot qualify for Philippine citizenship:

Persons opposed to organized government or affiliated with any association or group of persons who uphold and teach doctrines opposing all organized governments;

Persons defending or teaching the necessity or propriety of violence, personal assault, or assassination for the success and predominance of their ideas;

Polygamists or believers in the practice of polygamy;

Persons convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude;

Persons suffering from mental alienation or incurable contagious diseases;

Persons who during the period of their stay in the Philippines, have not mingled socially with the Filipinos, or who have not evinced a sincere desire to learn and embrace the customs, traditions, and ideals of the Filipinos;

Citizens or subjects of nations with whom the Philippines is at war

Citizens or subjects of a foreign country other than the United States, whose laws do not grant Filipinos the right to become naturalized citizens or subject thereof;

Amazing it is how lots of foreigners and people want to settle and become citizens here while lots of Filipinos want to leave the country. The Philippines is a beautiful country and the weather is nice. But jobs and the economy are not so good due to not so nice political splice and corruption. Anyhow, it’s still a nice place to retire and enjoy paradise. The world’s most beautiful beaches are here. The friendliest people are here, too. Life is easy simple and anyone can survive even just one job.

Who are the Citizens of the Philippines?

2011-07-18T22:51:00.000-07:00

Who are the citizens of the Philippines? According to the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, they are listed all here below. I know lots of people are searching how to become a citizen of the Philippines, who are the naturalized citizens, dual citizenship, nationality law, and more stuffs about becoming a citizen in the Philippines. Are you a Filipino citizen? I know for sure this article is included in your Political Science and Law subjects. So enjoy! Hope this will be useful to you. Are you a foreigner who wants to live and become a legal citizen here? I hope this post will be a reference as well.

According to Section 1 of the Article IV of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines (which is the presently used in the Philippine government), the following are citizens of the Philippines:

1. Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this Constitution;

2. Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines;

3. Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and (number 4)

“Even if the child is born to an alien father and a Filipino mother, the Filipino citizenship of the mother will bestow natural-born Philippine citizenship upon the child provided his birth occurred on or after January 17, 1973 (date of ratification of the 1973 Constitution), otherwise he followed the citizenship of the alien father and acquired at best only an inchoate Philippine citizenship which he could perfect by election upon attaining majority age. Except if he is born out of lawful wedlock, in which case, he will be considered a Filipino by virtue of his mother’s citizenship.”

“In addition, only natural-born citizens are allowed to hold constitutional offices such as the office of the President; Senators; Members of the House of Representatives; Members of the Supreme Court; and the Chairman and Commissioners of the Constitutional Commissions (Civil Service Commission, COMELEC and the Commission on Audit).”

4. Those who are naturalized in accordance with law.

The following sections are important to take note, too.

Section 2. Natural-born citizens are those who are citizens of the Philippines from birth without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect their Philippine citizenship. Those who elect Philippine citizenship in accordance with paragraph (3), Section 1 hereof shall be deemed natural-born citizens.

Section 3. Philippine citizenship may be lost or reacquired in the manner provided by law.

Section 4. Citizens of the Philippines who marry aliens shall retain their citizenship, unless by their act or omission, they are deemed, under the law, to have renounced it.

Section 5. Dual allegiance of citizens is inimical to the national interest and shall be dealt with by law.

Simple as is. I can’t believe I’ve memorized those back in college together with the family code of the Philippines. Oh wait yeah not to mention the resident aliens and non resident aliens in my business law and tax subjects. Do you remember those piles of books. Thankiylicious I’m so done with that. lol Anyway, hope you loved this hub and hope you rate it up and leave a comment or anything. See ya!

Pottermore Website Details

2011-07-02T00:57:00.000-07:00

What is Pottermore? Is it a Harry Potter spin-off? Next sequel? Billions of fans of the famous J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter were psyched and excited about Pottermore craze. The creative author launched a scavenger hunt weeks ago that thrilled fans which lead them to a website called, Pottermore. Prior to J.K. Rowling’s announcement explaining the details at the official website of the next Harry Potter project, lots of theories and rumors have been circulating everywhere, in Twitter, Facebook and other sites. I almost asked my owl about it. lol

Seriously, who wouldn’t be intrigued? I’m a big Harry potter fan. I’m fricken excited for the last movie this July. Already bout my ticket. Yay! But little saddened that it’s gonna be the last. (Sigh) I’ll miss the team and Volde. Anywayz, since Pottermore countdown approached the huge J.K.’s official announcement, there’s been a leaked on the net. It’s like someone opened the way to the chamber of secret or something. The video below is J.K. rowling’s official announcement about Pottermore.

I really wish, she said there would be a sequel or a spin-off... something like that. I wasn’t expecting a game. Apparently, Pottermore is a “sophisticated online game that contains clues to prizes that are hidden in the real world." The Times said. According to J.K. Rowling, Pottermore will be about ‘you’ the reader and the quest in creating and exploring the Harry potter world…

That’s so bloody brilliant! I like it. I’m so excited. By the way, Pottermore will be available on October this year, 2011. The official Pottermore website accepts email address in the moment. You can leave your email add and they notify you when registration has opened. Get a chance to enter and join Pottermore earlier than the others. Stay tuned and be back on the website on July 31. What are you waiting for? Leave your name in the goblet of fire…

Let’s just follow the owl, ok.

New Bank Notes and Money Bills of the Philippines from BSP – Photos and Info

2011-06-21T21:10:00.000-07:00

I am proud of the new bank notes and money bills of the Philippines. In this page, I’ve discussed useful info and I’ve uploaded all the new paper money photos as well. Enjoy!

I know earlier before December last year, 2010, there were already new bank notes released by the Central Bank of the Philippines (BSP). If you’ve seen the new banknotes, why not see the rest before they fall into your hands. The new money bills look awesome. Do you like them? As for me, yup, I like them so much. Reminds me of Singapore’s bank notes..I know, we’re used to seeing and holding the former bills and coins but just like anything else on the planet, everything changes and our money bills and coins needs to embrace new looks, too. Have you seen the new 500 bill? Cory and Ninoy look lovely together. You have to see the other bills. I have a little gallery below.

BSP is also redesigning new coins, too. They announced that it would take about around three years to complete and develop the new Philippine coins. Just stay tuned. Meanwhile, the new bank notes and money bills released to the public are the 20 pesos, 50 pesos, 100 pesos, 200 pesos, 500 pesos, and 1000 pesos. I’ve seen and touched them all. Each looks gorgeous. I think I gotta keep the older bills to have a vintage memorabilia. In three years, no more old paper notes coz they’re gonna retire totally.

Why do we need to change money bills and banknotes?

The BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) have released some of the new generation Philippine bank notes. This is part of their New Generation Currency Program. Just like any other country, changing bills and coins is a general practice of central banks to protect and secure coins and bills of a country. It’s a needed protocol. As a matter of fact, other countries redesign and change theirs every 10 years while us, the Philippines current bank notes and money bills has been in place for about 25 years now. So folks, it’s really about time.

Up to when the old money bills can be used?

BSP announced that the present bank notes and currency bills will remain in circulation and will continue to be accepted as legal tender for at least three more years. So don’t forget to reserve your own paper money before they’re gone.

What’s new with the new Philippine bank notes and bills?

The new bank notes look modern, neater, and they reflect and pay tribute to Filipinos who played significant roles at various moments of our nation’s history as well as the world heritage sites and iconic natural wonders we are proud of as Filipinos. The paper notes have the same size as the former.

Philippine Bank Notes Amazing TRIVIAs:

In producing the bank notes, we don’t use plastic or polymer (like other countries use). Instead, we use is a durable paper made mainly of 80% cotton and 20% abaca in support of the Philippine abaca farmers. The BSP have been using Philippine abaca as it has improved the durability and extended the life span of our dear bank notes. FYI, Japan also use abaca on their money bills. Wow, amazing!

The New Generation Currency of the Philippines is printed with Bioguard technology by Arjowiggins. Bioguard produces money bills that are treated to prevent bacteria from multiplying. The anti-bacterial property has been tested to resist washing and will last throughout the lifetime of the banknote. Money used to be kinda yucky, now they’re cleaner and bacteria-free. How awesome!

As promised, here are the new Philippine bank notes / money bills. Enjoy!
