Was Marcos a Hero? Does every sacred grain of sand deserve to lay upon his rest at the Libingan ng mga Bayani?</span></div>

From a conformist point of view who wanted this country to move on like me, I guess the Supreme Court's decision has finally put this into an end. Nobody is above the Law ... so be it and suck on it!</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
From an emotional and historical standpoint, I believe this HERO thing-y will remain a subject for debate for generations to come. A sad predicament that will continue to haunt our seemingly alienated and divided nation.</span></div>

Let me tell you a story from my own perspective. It maybe a little bit long so please bear with me. A lot of people may not care ... but for me ... this is some sort of my inverted eulogy to the greatest and most intelligent Filipino man who has ever lived that has brought forth tons of misery, false hopes and unequalled corruption to the people of the Philippines.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
I was born in 1965, same time Marcos was elected President. In his re-election of 1969, I was more captivated and mesmerize in the Apollo Moon Landing and catching spiders than Marcos' unprecedented feat.</span></div>

Then Martial Law came in 1972, the Bagong Lipunan song stuck like glue in my head that I can even sing it while standing at the back of my best friend's carabao or even while swimming in the then clear rivers of our barrio. (May bagong silang ... may bago ng buhay ... bagong bansa, bagong galaw .... sa bagong lipunan) ... Yeah!!!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">
We came from a family of public servants and our house was always filled with people from all walks of life since I can remember. My father was our town's Liberal Party chairman at the time Martial Law was declared. During the next </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">day's</span><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">/months/years of iron hand rule, there were a lot of secret and not so secret meetings held in our house which has always brought tension and nervousness to my mother including my elder brother. Due to my very young age, it has somehow restricted my </span>curiosity<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and inquisitiveness to ask my father on what the hell was going on! But what I really hate was the stench of tobacco during those brief and sometimes endless meetings.</span></span></span></div>

Towards the end of 1977, it was a coming of age for me. General Teodulfo Bautista and his men were mercilessly massacred in Patikul, Sulu by the MNLF. I clearly still remember that gloomy day in October as we were all crying in the school lobby consoling our dear classmate Marlon, the general's son (AFP Chief of Staff Benjamin's brother). I then began to ask myself, why did our nation's leaders </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">allow</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> such dreadful things to happen? On the other end at other peaceful parts of the country, the military and the police specially the constabulary seemed to be feared and acted like they run a prison cell all over the cities and towns where people are treated like captive or slaves they own.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">
Later in college, I've learned that Marcos has so corrupted the military during his entire reign that only men loyal to him are promoted, terms extended and held key vital positions in government and big corporations after retirement. I can understand that to stay in power, Marcos needed to have and sustain power ... and the military can provide him with the strength he needs to remain in power. </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">Thus,</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> RAM or Reform the Arm Forces Movement was born! The beginning of the end I suppose.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
On the consoling end, by watching Voltes V had somehow brought comfort and hope in my daily grinding exclusive-catholic-school-for- boys chores in my primary and secondary learning days. Then suddenly in 1978, the Great Apo Makoy cancelled the show! Now that's a lot of bull shit to take from this powerful man!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
I had a number of </span>tastes<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of </span>first-time<span style="font-family: inherit;"> elections during Martial Law. From the time LABAN was formed in the 1978 Interim Batasang Pambansa elections (only Pusyon Bisaya of Hilario Davide won seats in Region VII), first Local Elections of 1980 (Nene Pimentel was the only opposition mayor elected), first Presidential Elections of 1981 (who the hell is Alejo Santos and Bartolome Cabangbang who went up against Marcos) and first Barangay Elections in 1982 (by the way Martial Law was lifted on paper in the beginning of 1981). Although I was a mere spectator during these block voting years where the opposition has no hope-no chance to win during elections; the speeches, the posters/leaflets, the chanting crowd and the catchy campaign jingles brought the sense of </span>democracy<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to my inexperienced mind. I also received a lot of pay envelopes, free ride and free food just to attend KBL rallies and </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;">inaugurations</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">. Talk about being corrupted at a very young age.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: medium;">Oh,</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and I almost forgot, there was a </span>referendum<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of 1973 ratifying the new constitution and asking everyone if you approve or </span>disapprove<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of continuing martial law. </span>Of course,<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the YES votes overwhelmingly won by 91% and sadly those national, local and barangay officials who failed to convincingly deliver the votes were replaced. These people who remained in power became the foundation of the Marcos Loyalists (plus the </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;">diehard</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> North of course) ... national, local and barangay officials who have stayed in position without the fear of being replaced and without fear of abusing their powers to the end for a good number of years as long as you remain loyal to the Man. My God, I can even recite and memorize all department secretaries/ministers during those times because they were holding their post for so long. The Political Dynasties, Warlords and Clans were on the rise! If the Military was corrupt and abusive ... the national and local officials did not fall behind. Talk about how deep seated the Marcos Loyalist are!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">
I guess the Martial Law years were called the Golden Years (1972 to 1979 are the golden years) because it was peaceful and orderly. Peaceful because if you go up against or say something about the government, you either wind up dead or tortured or in prison. At that time, the government was not killing or torturing </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">drug lords</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">, pushers and users but rather political leaders, student activists, human rights advocates and marginalized sector leaders. You can say that those times were orderly because Marcos was the only one making laws through executive orders, decrees instructions with no congress, no senate, no elections, no rights to further lift his grip throughout the land.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">
The start of mass migration to western countries also started in the Golden Years. Before, only apple and pineapple (plus orange and grape) pickers were leaving for the U.S. but in the 70's and 80's, managers, engineers, doctors, nurses and other professionals started leaving the country just to escape Marcos. The Government has now succeeded getting rid of the middle class ... the Thinking Class! Talk about staying power and </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">long-term</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> solution to stay in power!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
The Martial Law years were the Golden Years because a lot of infrastructures and lavish </span>inaugurations<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of big events were made in the country (thank you Imelda) even at the time where there is an existing oil and global financial crisis. Huge amount of fresh loans from the World Bank, IMF and the U.S. came in times fold because of the birth and prospects of the New Society! This time .... </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129;">let's</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> all give a big welcome the Cronies ... monopolizing, plundering and squandering until the last drop of penny is taken. Behest loans, failed economic programs, ghost projects, you name it the Cronies did it!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;">
In layman terms, it would be like borrowing from a loan shark and spending it on new shoes. The Golden Years are the times you got the loan, bought the shoes and wore it. The downfall was the time you need to pay the loan or the </span><span style="color: #1d2129;">interests,</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> but you realize you do not have the job or resources to pay it nor return the shoes because it is all worn out! Well at least you enjoyed the Golden Years (that is what the Loyalist are saying). I've seen a lot of these scenario with my fellow OFWs which makes me sad.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
With no economy rising after the Golden Years, our </span>blue-collar<span style="font-family: inherit;"> workers also now started looking for work in the Middle East and other countries. Talk about double kill ... not only brain drain but this time brawn </span>drains<span style="font-family: inherit;">. The Philippines has now become a money order economy relying on remittances of its global workers and citizens while the Oligarchs, the Cronies, The Political Dynasties Marcos has created during the </span></span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">so-called</span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"> Golden Years remain with their political positions, big businesses and tremendous network that widened the gap between them the Elite Few and the rest of the Filipino people.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Then Ninoy was assassinated in 1983.... the rest is history. Maybe we need to rewrite history and stop celebrating EDSA.</span></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Marcos was NEVER a hero, maybe on the arguments made by the Supreme Court he qualifies as a hero but with what he did to my country, my people and in my own perspective .... see you in Hell!!!</span></div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
May you NOT rest in peace!!! Amen!!!</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">(So siyempre tulog na kayong lahat wala na babasa nito pinaghirapan ko pa naman 2 hours ko ginawa. Anyway ito yung pinaka may sense na address for me. I think alam ko na kung nasan yung pera. Haha.)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. We are meeting for the Nth time mga kababayan, madami pa’to.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. COVID lang paguusapan natin dito.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. DSWD na sasagot ng mga tanong niyo. May presentation ang DSWD.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turn over to Bautista.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Bautista: Magandang Hapon! (ay midnight napo)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Nung dumating yung P100Billion, 3-5 days, naibaba na yung ayuda. Walang problema kasi may credible list na tayo, every month na sila nakakatanggap.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. Naibaba na sa LGU ang amelioration. Dito nagkaproblema. Kasi ang listahan, hindi available. Ang inexpect namin, alam ng LGU ang kanilang constituents, alam nila ang profile – names, work and other livelihood. Dahil hindi nila kabisado, dito na nagkaproblema. Pero walang perfect. Hopefully in due time, ma distribute na ang cash amelioration orderly.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">7. Ang cash amelioration program ay intended sa pamilya so ibig sabihin, isang head of the family. 1 family – P5,000 to P8,000. Pag di na-validate ang isang pamilya, may duplication so mababawasan ang beneficiaries kung hindi nabantayan. 1 ayuda lang dapat.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">8. Alam naman natin na may pagkakataon na mawawala ang pera kaya kailangan may taong sasagot kung sakaling hanapin ang pagkukulang na pera. (DUH. Kung sakali lang hanapin?)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">9. Dapat nakabantay tayo. DAPAT LUMAKAS ANG ATING MGA BOSES. Dahil ang Social Amelioration Program ay people’s money coming from the people’s tax hindi para sa mga taong iniisip lang ang kanilang sariling interes. (Cavite, holler!)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">10. My advice – this is not the time for blame game (eh kakasisi mo lang sa mga LGU Secretary!)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">11. Tulad ng sabi ng Presidente, this is an opportunity for us to show our people that we are worth a public servant (ha?) Yun lang. Ang DSWD tutulungan ang ating mga LGU para mapabilis ang ayuda.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back to Duterts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">12. Duterte (now wearing a mask) – ok sa Department of Defense naman tayo. Pasok, Lorenzana.<br />Mag mask ka para lone ranger tayo. (LOL)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turnover to Lorenzana</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">13. Lorenzana: Ako po yung Chairman ng National Task Force ng CUVID-19.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">14. Naayos napo natin ang supplies ngayon. Nakahabol napo ang ating PPEs na pinamili ng DOH mula Tsina. Halos araw-araw ang hakot. Kami rin nagdidistribute sa mga hospital sa Maynila at probinsya.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">15. Naghahanap kami ng mga lugar na pwedeng isolation wards sa mga may CUVID. World Trade, PICC, etc. Handa na yan. Nagpunta kami sa Iglesia ni Cristo. Salamat Kapatid na Manalo. 2000 beds.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">16. Wag kayo magalala, kami bahala sa mga gagawin sa lupa. (bakit may access ba sa langit?)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back to Duterts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">17. Duterte: Galvez, pasok!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turnover to Galvez.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">18. Galvez: on track ang National Action Plan. Lumalakas na ngayon ang DOH. Ang testing ay tumataas na ngayon na 2400. 11 na ang accredited testing center, may walo pa nagaapply.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">19. Napakaganda ng nagawa nating lockdown. Dahil napush ang curve ng 1 month delay. Napakagandang balita dahil may 11 recoveries tayo ngayon. Sa ibang bansa napakataas ng death rate. Sa atin hindi tumataas ng trenta.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">20. Napakaganda ng ating preparasyon kumpara sa ibang bansa (sir yung bangko niyo po.) Ang Japan napakayaman, ang kanilang health services hindi maka-accommodate. Same sa Singapore, nakita natin na napakaganda ng desisyon ng ating mahal na Pangulo na tayo ang pinakauna na nagkaroon ng yung travel ban, our hard decision is paving the way for good results we are having now. Yun lang po.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back to Duterts</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">21. Duterte: Duque naman.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turn over to Duque.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">22. Duque: Salamat sa suporta ng Pangulo kaya marami tayong tagumpay. Di ko na uulitin yung mga nasabi nila. Kilalanin natin ang healthcare workers, frontliners. Saludo kami lalo na sa na nagbuwis ng buhay. Ito lang masasabi ko, walang katumbas ang inyong kabayanihan at sakripisyo. Hindi kayo pababayaan ni Pangulo.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">23. Ito lang ang masasabi ko, kung ihahambing natin ang bilang ng may impeksyon sa Pilipinas, ay isa tayo sa pinakamababa sa 3764. Kung ihahambing natin sa mayayamang bansa, ay di hamak malayong malayo po ang ating ranggo sa COVID World Tracker (ay contest ba ito?)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">24. Ito ay nagsasalamin sa mga desisyon na ginawa ng ating mahal na pangulo. 2 napakamalakas na desisyon – yung travel restriction doon sa manggagaling ng bansang China noong Pebrero, at pangalawang napakalakas na desisyon ng Pangulo ay ang pag-lockdown. Yan ang dalawang dahilan kung bakit ang bilang ng COVID infection sa Pilipinas ay mababa talaga compared sa ibang banda.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back to Duterts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">25. Duterte: Secretary Dominguez, you have said a lot but give a statement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turn over to Dominguez.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">26. Dominguez – in terms of the economy, nung pumasok kayo nung 2016, ang order niyo ho sa akin is to manage the economy for the welfare of the people. Ibig sabihin lahat ng collection ng taxes should be collected efficiently at wag magwaldas ng pera. So ang resulta, maganda ang posisyong ng economy natin kaya kahit meron tayong bad luck sa COVID, very well-prepared tayo.</span></div>

Ako ang pinakaunang lahat nag lockdown kasi nasusundan ko na ang istorya. Nagbabasa ako ng different sources of knowledge – Facebook, everything.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">***Ok sa kaka-summarize ko ng speeches, mejo naiintindihan ko na si P.Duts, haha. Expert level na pagka gets ko sa kanya. Kailangan lang mejo lasing ka rin habang nanonood. In fair nasagot yung mga matagal ko na tanong. Yung mahigit isang oras na pajuliet juliet, kaya ko i-summarize in 5 salient points. (sana di ako napuyat diba, ako na lang nagedit, nag segment producer naman ako dati)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Yung pera na P275 Billion, para sa amelioration saka sa pagkain. The money is yet to be collected in the coming quarters through taxes and income from government assets. So ang pera na pinamimigay ngayon is from the budget prepared last year and the savings of the Department of Finance from projects that didn’t push through because hindi matatapos within his term.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Kung maubos yon, maraming mauutangan kasi B+ ang credit score natin. $5.6Billion USD ang uutuangin natin. If magtagal pa rin ang COVID, ibebenta na niya mga property ng gobyerno. Yung opposition ang papanego niya.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Yung COVID, vaccine lang ang solusyon. Makukuha yon sa mga antibodies ng mga gumaling na sa COVID. And usually, kung hindi siya genetics, yung mga mahihirap na sanay na sa kalye ang may very strong antibodies kaya wala mashadong tinatamaan na mahihirap ng COVID kasi sanay ang pangangatawan nila sa impeksyon.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Tas paulit ulit na sinasabi niya. Wag palayasin yung mga hindi makabayad ng renta kasi this is not the time para isipin mo kumita. Kailangan magtulungan kasi pare pareho tayong walang pera.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- And finally, may Facebook si P.Dutz. May time siya magbasa. So baka nababasa niya ites.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In many ways, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/abdullahimuhammed/2016/08/11/7-benefits-of-freelancing-you-dont-get-with-a-desk-job/#3af7de863135"><span style="color: #1155cc;">being a freelancer is better</span></a> than working as a
nine-to-five desk employee. Aside from the freedom and flexibility freelancing
offers, you also get to enjoy less financial obligations. However, that doesn’t
mean you shouldn’t grab yourself a good insurance package. Doing so will leave
you better prepared to deal with any unexpected calamities that come your way.
But in case you’re still unconvinced, then allow the following reasons to
compel you.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_xk76pm2136wv"></a><span lang="EN">To
Have Your Equipment Replaced<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the many
perks of being a policyholder is that you have access to financial assistance
in case your equipment gets broken or stolen. A freelancer’s tool of trade (be
it a laptop or a camera) is vital for their livelihood, and they unfortunately</span>
don’t come in cheap. Through insurance policy, you can easily have your
equipment protected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_2q8onqxfnj9c"></a><span lang="EN">To
Shield You From Client Claims<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before starting on
a project, you need to have your clients agree to the terms and conditions you
set in the contract. And while most of the time this goes off without a hitch,
there are situations where things go awry and you’re left with a client
demanding refunds and other forms of restitutions. By getting yourself insured,
you’ll be able to meet such expenses and more.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_nvxxze8bo3q2"></a><span lang="EN">To
Cover Yourself in Tough Times<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Freelancing does
come with a few downsides, one of which is that you’ll have no job security.
Freelancers have to constantly look for clients in order to have a steady
stream of work and income. You can practically go from having a six-digit
salary in one month to being virtually jobless the next. Having insurance will
help you get through such challenging periods, giving you security and peace of
mind until your next client arrives.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_saobvx7ibo2k"></a><span lang="EN">To
Make a Smart Investment<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Freelancers shy
away from insurance programs, deeming them burdensome and unnecessary payments.
But believe it or not, an insurance can make a really smart investment. Aside
from helping you save and grow money in the long run, insurances can also help
you enjoy some of the best things in life (e.g. travel perks, home and auto
discounts, etc.). Plus, there are many insurance products out there that come
with extremely affordable rates.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_1anvuhvbkj4h"></a><span lang="EN">To
Financially Secure Your Loved Ones<o:p></o:p></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most importantly,
carrying an insurance policy enables you to secure your family’s financial
future in the event of a debilitating illness or death. For example, a good car
insurance product, especially if <a href="https://gdfi.com.ph/2020/02/03/why-its-better-to-get-car-insurance-through-in-person-transactions/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">obtained in person</span></a>, can help protect your
spouse, kids, and vehicles from accidents. Some insurance could also help
finance your kids’ education, allowing them to have a better life.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see,
getting good insurance is one of the best financial decisions you could make as
a freelancer. So if you still haven’t gotten yourself covered yet, now’s the
time to start browsing for insurance premiums.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Since, I don't have any blogs now, I will just post it here on FB, the tips about working from home. So, let me start by Introducing my background. I have 10 years experience in the BPO Industry. I used to work for Convergys as a Senior Technical Customer Care Representative 2 for 7 years, it started in December of 2005, and 3 years in JPMorgan Chase Bank as a Fraud Investigator in May of 2013. When I quit working in Convergys back in January of 2013; I tried blogging and working from home. But, no one encouraged me to find job or explained to me what I was doing wrong, or what I should do next. Marami lang nagsasabi na madaling kumita from home. I tried finding a stable job for almost 5 months, but, I got no luck.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">So, I applied in JPMorgan Chase Bank, and I got hired as a Fraud Investigator. A couple months ago, I filed my Resignation Letter. Why? I got so tired of my commute. Imagine, from Malabon to Taguig, BGC, I am spending around 5-6 hours of travel time (back and forth) daily. SERIOUSLY. And, even more, kapag malakas ang ulan, sobrang baha, or nasira ang LRT or MRT. Dumating ako sa point na, I got so depressed, yung tipong darating ako ng work, pero drained na ako. I was just giving a mediocre kind of work attitude, madalas nega vibes pa. Hindi na healthy, so I decided to quit. Wala akong pera, basta nag resign nalang ako. I think, MALI itong ginawa ko na ito, wag niyong gagayahin. Wag kayong magre resign ng walang pang buffer, dahil ang mga bills niyo, dire diretso pa rin naman, even if you stop working! Hehehehe! So, punta muna tayo sa PROS and CONS:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">PROS AND CONS OF WORKING FROM HOME</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">PROS ARE THE FOLLOWING:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">1. Commute - No More HASSLE of TRAFFIC, No More Sira or Mabagal na MRT or LRT, No More BAHA, Ulan, Bagyo or DELUBYO sa daan naiisipin. Nasa bahay ka lang eh! Hehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">2. Pay - It's all up to you kung gaano ka kasipag, gaano kalaki yung job offer sayo, ilang hours a week or fixed income, nasa kamay mo lahat, and by God's grace, of course! Now, I am working 70-75 hours a week for 2 employers. May iba nga kaya nila ng 85 hours a week! Ang masasabi ko lang, yung kinikita ko ng isang buwan sa mga dati kong typical BPO or Office work, kinikita ko lang ng isang linggo dito. Kayang kaya ang 6 DIGITS a month, basta masipag ka! Sounds like Networking/MLM? Ahahahaha! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">3. Time - Imagine the time that you can save. In my case, naka save ako ng 6 hours sa biyahe at 1 hour from Lunch break sa work. Heto pa, nag resign ako para lagi kong mayakap ang mga fur kids ko na sila Mommy Omprah, Baby Baldog, Roshanda, Lavinia at Sassy! Para sa akin, priceless yun eh! Hirap ako na di sila makita or makasama ng matagal! Ngayon, katabi ko pa matulog at gumising, hehehe! More time for the Lord, tagal ko ng di nakaka attend ng church! Seriously. And, more time for the Family, lalo na kapag FLEXIBLE hours ang nakuha mong work. Minsan may makukuha ka ng client na 30-40hours a week, tapos there's no specific time na naka login ka. Meaning na, kapag di mo feel mag work ngayon, wag ka mag work, or magagawa mo outside activities mo, provided na babawiin mo yung working hours mo sa ibang araw. More time for the Lord, Family, Yourself, Pets, Wife, Husband, GF's/BF's, and etc! More time to FB, play COC, and etc. Like right now, I'm waiting for task, nakakapag sulat ako. Minsan, ilang oras akong walang ginagawa na bayad, provided na hindi maa apektuhan ang work mo. Wag ka naman mag FB sa PC mo kung saan ka nagwo work, ma screenshot ka nyan, lagot ka sa client! Hehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">4. No Uniform - Totoo ito, kahit nakahubo ka pa, naka pajama, or what, walang makikialam sa'yo kung nasa room ka lang. You can wear the same clothes, walang mamimintas sa iyo kahit butas butas pa yan! Hehehe! Savings in wardrobe pa! NO MORE PA CONTEST NG DRESS DOWN! Ahahahaha! Kasi kadalasan sa mga BPO or CALL CENTER, privilege ang makapag Dress Down, ginagamit ito as a PRIZE sa mga contest, aminin! Hehehehe! Ngayon, kapag malakas ang ulan or baha, oks lang, kasi nasa bahay ka naman eh! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">5. Flexible Working Hours - Again, depende ito sa kukunin mong client. Ako kasi pinag aralan ko yung schedule na makakakuha ako ng clients na di makaka affect sa existing client ko. Gaya nga ng nasabi ko sa itaas, it's up to you when you want to work, basta magawa mo yung tasks sa'yo. Meron rin naman na clients na may fixed schedule. So, titignan mo yung Time Zone nila. Kaya in my case, kumuha ako ng FIXED Schedule from 8am-4:30pm PST from a U.S. Client (40-45 hours a week), and isang Flexible schedule sa Australian Client (30 hours a week). Pero sa totoo lang, nakaka adik maghanap ng clients, masarap mag work sa bahay eh, maganda ang kita. Kung pwede nga lang, kumuha pa ako ng isa pang client, gagawin ko talaga, kaso wala ng oras, hehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">6. Savings - Let me correct that... BIG SAVINGS! Why? I am saving money from my Transportation and Food, around 5-6K. Savings from wardrobe, since you can use your Pajama or any comfortable clothes while working. Savings from buying food from Canteen or Fastfood P100-150 savings a day, or even more, lalo na kung panay pa Starbucks mo! Hehehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">7. FOOD - Kung ano yung ulam sa bahay or fridge, yun ang kainin mo, matipid di ba? Luto ka ng dalawang LuckyMe Pancit Canton, lagyan mo ng dalawang Fried Egg sa ibabaw, tapos Orange or Mango Juice, solved na! Ahahahaha! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">CONS ARE THE FOLLOWING:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">1. EXERCISE - Kailangan mo ng exercise! Dahil literal na mag papagulong gulong ka sa kama kapag walang ginagawa, basta naka ON ang PC mo. Hindi rin madali, lalo na kung nagpapa payat ka. You need to get some walking or jogging after your shift, if you have a fixed schedule. Or, allocate some time for Gym or other activities.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">2. PAY FOR EVERYTHING -Ikaw ang magbabayad ng Fiber Optics or Internet Connection mo, Electiricity Bill. Ikaw rin magbabayad ng SSS, Pagibig, Philhealth, pati pag file ng Taxes ikaw rin. Oks lang, isipin mo nalang na malaki pa rin ang nase save mo, at kung anuman ang binabayaran mo ngayon, ay parte na rin ng expenses mo, even before you get into working from home! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">3. NO HUMAN INTERACTION - Unless, meron kang asawa, bf or gf, kaibigan, family or friend na kausap, kahit sa FB or Skype. You are working without someone supervising you. Some people don't like this. There are people who may feel that they are lacking of competitive spirit or becoming anti-social as the time goes by. Wala nabasa ko lang sa post ng ibang nagwo work from home. Hehehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">4. KATAMARAN - Sometimes, if you have no one encouraging you to do something, or when there's no pressure to start working, what to wear and etc, baka tamarin kana mag work. Which is your choice, and what you work for is what you will get at the end of the day! Hehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">5. NO HMO or HEALTH INSURANCE - Ito yung isa sa mga nakakahinayang, kasi malaking bagay ang may HMO like INTELLICARE or MAXICARE. Kaya ang ginawa ko, nag inquire ako sa mga HMO Providers. Meron pala sa MaxiCare, around 25k a year na yung Family plan nila. Kayang kaya na ito kapag malaki na ang income mo. Baka next month, maasikaso ko na. Pati rin yung mga Philhealth, Pagibig at SSS ko... :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">6. CONTRACTS - Usually, the jobs at <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FUpwork.com%2F&h=9AQFvqDAvAQH2touwYVRvF88rW3omYXd0KU_NorS6hHfu8Q&enc=AZNAQSktp2jCkxpQfPQrWynbx6-mWJT8ESSTk78Y3IY-yaRkNzbxF6wKU4zzvMBW92LjpcyKyIhcbzk6CBktgSjU93JUiFNssJhM0UyrS07yKVNstTrQ9V0c3rpb3TC84Hm3OMMle0vE5Ha3VBVH85f2W9TY-RZRQrzBPsJsIEDY5r0QbwLYu1z5jbq9nz6we5TUzYqX0MT3s0o_fPRr6YJr&s=1">Upwork.com</a> are contractual, it ends at around 5-6 months. So, hahanap kana naman ng client. Unless, makakuha ka ng client na magalingan sa'yo at kunin ka nila, even outside Upwork! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">7. NO 13TH OR 14TH MONTH PAY - Yun ang masaklap, walang Christmas bonus. Pero depende pa rin talaga sa client. Kagaya nyan, last week i received 100$ from my client. May mga mababait at galante na clients, na nagbibigay ng bonus kahit hindi inutos ng batas. Wag kalimutan na mga foreign clients ito, di sila saklaw ng batas ng Pilipinas para ma obliga na magbigay ng 13th or 14th month pay. Honestly, kapag kumikita kana ng 3-4x ng dati mong sahod plus yung nase save mo na pera at oras. You won't really mind it anymore! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">HERE ARE THE TIPS:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Sa ngayon, tutok muna tayo sa Upwork, ito yung dating Odesk. Marami pang ibang site like OnlinejobsPH, Freelancer, and etc. Ito palang kasi yung nasubukan ko, and it is the largest site for homebased jobs.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">You MUST have the following:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">1. CREATE AN ACCOUNT at <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FUpwork.com%2F&h=AAQERZ78LAQGTspuKAAjZBPp4UGq3NFSKp-WZp1SrsYp3mg&enc=AZNFoZlUXsepWxPM452qSR2L5hR8XwxGZNjxuUNST5Lp-RR9RyhfzTK6HWCU9SsvkSOOlO-F536lMKSifnmhBioRDU48H0QuH0j401fmmx7dAVwNMoIrsO3mgHnkBioI5viMSZQQjTodY3WPDZPSe1sr_wnxHF_BQdRNUwAytyS9lgJyimrNguGxe4nKFq3I01OGj9IhbrcELS7--3WFzaio&s=1">Upwork.com</a> -Madali lang ito, you just have to COMPLETE your PROFILE, and etc.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">2. RESUME - You have to prepare a neat, precise and formal resume (soft copy) that you will send to a client for JOB APPLICATION, usually, in the form of attachment.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">3. COVER LETTER - Make a generic Cover Letter that you can COPY and PASTE when you are applying for a Job, or pwede mong i attach kasama ng Resume mo. Make sure to edit it or tailor fit it sa ina applyan mong work. Make it presentable enough to SELL YOURSELF!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Ito yung mga basic na tinatanong ha, about sa setup ng Home Office mo.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">a. Basic DSL Requirement is 2.5-6MBPS or Fiber Optics Connection at 50-100MBPS. Clients prefer hardwire connection, which is much stable than wireless. They hate LTE connection, lalo na yung mga merong calls.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">b. Computer Desktop MINIMUM Requirements: CPU: 2.4ghz Dual Core Processor, 4GB RAM, and a monitor. With a NOISE-CANCELLING HEADSET (only for those who will be taking in calls).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">c. UPS / Inverter Power Generator - Not really part of the requirements, but, recommended.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">d. Quiet or almost Sound Proof Home Office - This is for those who will be taking in calls. Requirement ito ng client, ayaw nila may mga nagtatahulan na dogs or mga tandang na tumitilaok, hehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">HERE ARE THE TIPS:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 1: After you create an UPWORK Account, take the SKILLS TEST. Get as many as you can, and get a pretty good score! If you are a BPO or Call Center Agent, you might want to make sure to take the Phone and Email Etiquette, Customer Service Skills, and etc. The more TEST with high scores you have, your Profile will look more appealing to the clients. Also, do not forget to create a SKYPE ACCOUNT, kasi yung mga Interview, either Skype or Google Hangout (you may use your existing gmail account for it).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 2: SELL YOURSELF, but do not sound ARROGANT - Make a presentable, neat and professional COVER LETTER and RESUME. Be very PATIENT too, imagine that there are thousands of Job Applicant waiting for that job as well. It's not easy to find job, It actually took me at least, a month to get hired! Just be patient, and continuously try to improve your profile! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 3: BE ONLINE AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. Clients post their Job Posting from any Time Zone. It could be from Australia: AEST, or U.S. - PST, EST, and etc. You've NOT just gotta catch'em ALL, but, you also have to CATCH'EM FIRST! Hehehe! They tend to prioritize those who send the Application first. Also, think on which Time Zone you would like to work. Do not apply to a U.S. Time Zone clients if you have no plans working at night.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 4: CHOOSE CAREFULLY - Sa UPWORK, meron kaming Connects na tinatawag. Para itong ONLINE TOKEN na LIBRE meron ding PAID. Nauubos ito kada APPLY mo, usually, 2 CONNECTS per JOB APPLICATION. That's why you can't SPAM employers with your RESUME. Mababasura lang yan. Don't just send your RESUME to everywhere, make sure that you are really DECIDED to APPLY for that Job vacancy before doing so. Hangga't maari, wag muna CHOOSY! And, Are you willing to work during their Normal Business hours in their TIME ZONE? Walang pilitan ito, kung ayaw mo, wag mo. WAG RIN MAG APPLY kung wala ka naman ng SKILLS na hinahanap nila, MAPAPAHIYA KA LANG! Hehehehe! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 5: BABAAN ANG RATE - Make sure na babaan mo ang rate, take as low as 2.5-3$ an hour. WHY? Ganito kasi yan. Ya'ng mga client na nasa Upwork, they don't care if you have 10 years of BPO Experience, or if you were once a TL or even an Operations Manager. They don't care about your experience OUTSIDE UPWORK! They prefer people with experience with the working environment of WORK FROM HOME (WFH) or Homebased jobs via UPWORK. Ang mahalaga, magkaroon ka ng job, magandang REVIEW for future clients, para pwede kana mag taas ng RATE mo! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 6: CHECK YOUR UPWORK INBOX / MESSAGES - You have to do this from time to time, so you can easily respond if you were chosen to be a Candidate for an Interview. Make sure that you reply within 24 hours or less, minsan, may mga papagawa na agad sa'yo na mga TEST nila or exam. Galingan mo lang, para pumasa ka! It will be included in your Profile, unless you don't want to. There's an option for you not to show it. Look at the picture below, that's what it looks like. Photo is not mine, CTTO, pero maganda kasi sa Profile ang maraming SKILLS TEST! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 7: BE PATIENT - Sometimes, sa dami ng Applicant, matagal kang ma contact, it may take 1-2 weeks. Or, baka hindi kana ma contact at all, kasi may nakuha na sila. DO NOT DWELL. Apply lang sa ibang work! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 8: PREPARE FOR AN INTERVIEW - You think this is EASY? Nagkakamali ka BOY! Kapag di ka pumasa sa mga TEST nila, wala ka ng chance, hehehe! Tapos, maswerte kapag umabot ka sa INTERVIEW, minsan, 2 or 3 times ang INTERVIEW. Isang Basic Interview, then, yung HR Interview, then MANAGER's Interview, then JOB OFFER na kasunod nu'n! I am not discouraging you. But, even if you have the EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE UPWORK, again, it won't matter to them. So, be extremely GOOD! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 9: Pray Hard. Mahirap mang unawain, but, the Lord knows everything! We need the LORD, hindi natin kaya kung wala siya... All praise, honor and glory should all be given only to our Lord and Personal Saviour JESUS Christ! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">TIP 10: Last but not the least. If you think that you can work more than the time that was given to you. Then, hanap pa ng isang job. Malaking bagay yung dalawa or tatlo ang work, dahil MAHAL ANG BIGAS!!! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Lastly, nakaugalian ko ng i check kung Payment Verified si employer, how much they already spent since they become an employer in Upwork, and the reviews they give to their previous employees. Duon palang mage gauge mo na kung OK ba yung employer! Cheers! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Oh, tapos na itong NOBELA, sana may natutunan kayo. Sana nakatulong kahit papaano. Meron na akong gagawing tasks. Pasensya na kung may mga mispelled or maling grammar, I'm just doing this para makatulong sa mga kaibigan natin na gustong mag try mag homebased or work from home.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Malaki ang utang na loob ko sa mga kaibigan kong sila Gle Na, Mis Andie Stood, Chermalyn Espiritu-Peralta for helping me and encouraging me, lalo na kay La Schtroumpfette na nagsilbing MENTOR ko at nagpasok sa akin sa unang work from home ko, dahil sa kanila, nakapag work na ako sa bahay! Hehehehe! Until next time! WORK MUNA AKO. BRB! :) #UPWORK#Homebased #WorkFromHome #WFH</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">"It's never too late to start over. If you weren't happy with yesterday, try something different today. Don't stay stuck. Do better."</span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is a review of the Insanity of Mary Girard Girard, a one-act drama written by Lanie Robertson. The stage play was performed by Mt Pleasant High School UIL at Mt Pleasant High School auditorium on April 9 & 10, 2015, 7 p. m. and April 12, 2015, 2 p. m. Directed by Ms. Vivian Warren and Ms. Belinda Phelan.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The play was centered on the story of a wife Mary Girard was thrown into an asylum by her powerful Philadelphia businessman husband Stephen Girard. Mary married Stephen at age 16 and had an affair with another man. To hide his humiliation to the society, Mary was declared legally insane by her husband when she got pregnant by her lover. According to Robertson, “Stephen Girard's concern for his wife's welfare was genuine, he sought every known medical solution, and even after Mary was committed, he ensured that she was afforded every luxury possible.” </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The first scene was seen Mary locked in a “tranquilizer chair” in the asylum as the "furies" danced around. Each furies also plays another person in her life: the warder, her mother, her husband's mistress, Mr. Phillips, who runs the asylum, and Mrs. Hatcher, whom Mary's baby was given to, unfortunately baby died a month after birth.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Award winning UIL One act Play, The Insanity of Mary Girard, is a drama of abuse and lack of power of women, how men uses monetary power to control a woman’s fate, both physically and mentally, and the society's treatment to the mentally ill. In today’s society, the story still exists, men still believes they have control over women. Through this play, we also viewed the stigmas that comes with someone who is insane.<span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The high school students who played the characters did great and everybody enjoyed the play. I can see how these kids dedication to theater paid up after the superb performance. The students gave their best for the success of their show. The play left the audience the question of whether Mary was insane or not. The production brought the audience to evilness of men and society and the plight of its victim. The director of the school play guided the casts effectively on each characters they portrayed. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Miss Universe - Philippines</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1st Runner-up - Colombia</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2nd Runner-up - USA</b></div>
<b><br /></b>This is probably one of the most awkward awkward crowning moment in the history. Steve Harvey made a horrible mistake on the 1st runner up and Miss Universe winners. But then he apologized, announced the right winner, and took responsibility of his mistake. What an embarrassing moment for Steve Harvey and horrific for both Miss Columbia and Miss Philippines. He is a great guy so no need to embarrass him in social media. Nobody is perfect, we all makes mistakes.<br />

Early pregnancy is quickly becoming one of the most common problems in first-world countries. Teenagers range from ages thirteen to eighteen, and get pregnant for many different reasons; the causes of teenage pregnancy include lack of discipline, feelings of not being loved and cared for, overprotective parents, lack of parents’ guidance and supervision, sexual abuse or rape, childhood environment, failure of sex education, and neglect or improper use of birth control. There are many causes of teenage pregnancy and its consequences are life changing. <br />
<br />
<b>Teenagers with busy parents have no time to guide and support them are more likely to get pregnant. </b>Communication between parents and children, which is part of the family bonding, become weak. A teen who does not feel that she can talk to her parents about sex will turn to friends, movies or videos that will most likely give wrong information. The lack of affection from the family will push them to have an intimate relationship elsewhere.<br />
<br />
<b>Teenage pregnancy can also be a result of failure to teach the necessary sex education from both the school and parents.</b> They then get engaged in sexual contact without any knowledge about contraception or proper use of birth control. Parents are still hesitant to discuss sex with their kids, and are just content with whatever sex education offered by school. According to a survey poll by National Public Radio, Sex Education in America Foundation, and Harvard's Kennedy School National Survey on Sex Education, a majority of Americans agree that sex education should be taught in schools. The debate continues to this day whether to teach a broad sex education curriculum to school. <br />
<br />
<b>Children of overprotective parents can also be rebellious. </b>They cannot make their own decision and some get tired of it by doing things against their parents will. They turn to friends who are into alcohol and drugs or find security and love they are looking for to the opposite sex and are more likely to get pregnant. They find happiness away from the sight of their parents. Stemming from that, however, some children, no matter how great their parents are, are just too stubborn and does what they think will make them happy without consideration to how it will affect others. They are prone to bad influences, sexual escapades, and early pregnancy that will lead them to miserable life.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The effect of teenage pregnancy in the society is a serious issue.</b> School dropouts are the leading effects of pregnancy; they cannot handle the burden of studying and taking care of their baby after birth. Because of their responsibility to the newborn baby, they choose to stay home to take care of the kids. Many teen moms may find it difficult or impossible to support the kids because they did not get the proper education so the career option is limited resulting to poverty. But there are others who pursue their dream to finish college education and becoming a good parent. <br />
<br />
Teenage pregnancy is most common in the USA, despite the government campaigns to teach sex education in schools. According to The National Campaign, the teenage pregnancy rate declined from 1990 to 2008, therefore teenagers are becoming aware of the negative impacts of early pregnancy. If pregnancy happened to one member of the family, all we need is to give them the support they needed instead of blaming them, for sure they already learned their lesson for what they have done wrong. Teenage pregnancy is a life-long commitment that needs serious attention. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This is a satire
of the stereotype that all Asian parents give their children excess academic
pressure. (Chris and Bryant).</span></div>
<div>
<br />
A rise in academic pressure has ensued to meet the demands of today’s society and the results are less than favorable. The pressure usually begins during adolescence, a vulnerable time for them, when they receive not only pressure from their superiors, but from their peers. The rise in academic pressure has negatively affected the masses of recent high school students, shown by rises in academic dishonesty and depression rates, against the well-meant intentions of the individuals who instigate this pressure.<br />
<br />
Academic dishonesty has always been a problem in school, but the rates have risen gradually; surveys conducted by Drake have shown that in 1941, 23% of college students admitted to cheating. More recent surveys by Graham, Monday, O’Brien, and Steffen, an astonishing 90% of students have reported cheating (commons.trincoll.edu). Children today feel more pressured to cheat and do whatever is necessary to rise to the top. Such individuals may also rise as the valedictorian of their class, which, by doing so, they rob their more deserving peers of rightfully deserved opportunities. Pressure can originate from both sentient individuals and the draw of prestigious honors. I understand that we want our kids to be on top of the class, but we should also consider that they are young. They should enjoy life, mingle with friends and have fun. Life is not all about pressuring the students to study. As an Asian parent, I can see how my children do their very best to please me. I feel guilty about it, so what I do, is to compensate them. I allow them to use the computer, wake up late on weekends and less household chores. These are simple things but will make a lot of difference.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Depression and suicide in high school students has been well researched and documented, but hardly anything has been done about it. Although it occurs in western countries, it is more often documented in Asian countries, where academic success is stressed, in belief that academic excellence is one of the only ways to succeed in life. Juon et al surveyed Korean high school students and found that those who admitted to being more stressed about academics were more likely to have serious considerations of suicide (Mres.Gmu.edu). Similar results were found in Singapore, where school problems accounted for 11% of suicide in students (Mres.Gmu.edu). The results of these studies prove nothing positive on the psychological toll of excess academic pressure.<br /><br /> On the other end of the spectrum, the sources of pressure have different motives for attacking a teenager’s fragile psyche. The most common sources of academic pressure include parents, competition, and the curriculum itself. Parents usually have no idea of the extent of psychological toll their pressuring has to their children, and their efforts can be justified by trying to get the best out of their child. Academic competition, in its simplest sense, is ranking and how a student competes with other students. Many schools have opted out of traditional valedictorians and salutatorians for the very purpose of reducing academic pressure. And last, but definitely not least, is pressure from a school’s curriculum, which may prove to be too difficult for a student. A tough curriculum, on top of parental and peer pressure, is the outdoing of many students. This is a problem in Eastern and Western countries, either it’s to maintain their high tier spot in education rankings or to raise theirs.<br /><br /> Academic pressure has proven detrimental to students’ psyches, academic dishonesty and student depression rates, yet despite the research and efforts, little has actually been done and to reduce academic pressure. Education is simply essential for the growth of human beings as individuals and a population, and it carries long term effects. Poor education of one generation fosters worse education for the next.</span><br />

<br />
Do you know that World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind? M. P. W. Stone, Secretary of the Army ? At the start of World War 2, the Philippines, were United States territory as per the 1898 Treaty of Paris. World War 2 began on September 1, 1939 and ended on September 2, 1945. But to the Americans, World War 2 started on December 7th, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.<br />
<br />
"Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.... As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense... With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God." President F.D. Roosevelt - 8th December 1941.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I am from the Philippines. And in our History class, World War 2, we were taught how our forefather bravely fought the Japanese soldiers. Today, I would like to share with you the bravery of our American and Filipino soldiers during the World War: I will focus on the invasion of the Japanese to Bataan Island, Philippines.</div>

<br /></div>
<b>Start of the Battle of Bataan - The Japanese attack</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b>On 7 December 1941, Japan attacks Pearl Harbor without any declaration of war. Only hours after, the Japanese also struck American airbase in the Philippines. General Douglas MacArthur, commanding United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE), began making preparations to defend the archipelago from the Japanese invasion. Unlike in Pearl Harbor, the Japanese followed their surprise air strike of the Philippines with a ground invasion. So MacArthur's troops retreated, he was flown for Australia where he broadcast to the Filipino people his famous "I Shall Return" promise. On Bataan, the American soldiers felt they were abandoned by their own government. Nevertheless, they fought valiantly. The Japanese attack, quickly cut off the Philippines from food and other supplies by a Japanese blockade.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<b>The Fall of Bataan</b> <br />
The incessant bombings and artillery bombardment turned the Bataan into an inferno. Over the course of the next three days, the American and Filipino soldiers slowly used up their supplies, progressively disintegrated and collapsed, clogging all roads with refugees and fleeing troops. On April 9, 1942, U.S. General Edward P. King signed the surrender document, ending the Battle of Bataan. The remaining American and Filipino soldiers were taken by the Japanese as prisoners of war (POW). Immediately, the Bataan Death March began. </div>

<b>Bataan Death March.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Bataan Death March was the forced march of the 72,000 captured American and Filipino POW's<br />
The prisoners were to be marched 63 miles in hot sun from the southern Bataan Peninsula to Camp O'Donnell in the north. To the Japanese soldiers, the captured American and Filipino POW's from Bataan were unworthy of respect. To show their displeasure and disgust, the Japanese guards tortured their prisoners throughout the march. The captured soldiers were given no water and little food. The Japanese guards shot any and all prisoners who broke rank and tried to drink from them. </div>

<br />
<br />
Upon Arrival at Camp only 54,000 of the prisoners had made it. It is estimated that about 7,000 to 10,000 died, while the rest of the missing had escaped into the jungle and joined guerrilla groups.<br />
The conditions within Camp were also brutal and harsh, leading to thousands more POW deaths even within their first few weeks there.<br />

VitreArtus Glass Art Co., Inc.’ offered its services six months ago to Fr. Genaro Diwa, head of the office of liturgy of the Archdiocese of Manila without asking for anything in exchange. Engr. Cruz considers it a blessing to him and to VitreArtus when the invitation did come (CBCPNews).<br />
<br />
Engineer Robert M. Cruz, liturgical furniture maker and President of VitreArtus Glass Art Co., Inc., based in San Pedro, Laguna, started the company on 1990, designing, manufacturing and exporting decorative art glass (stained glass), church interior furnishings, statuary, wrought iron. For almost 25 years, the company provided Catholic churches and other institutions in the Philippines and abroad with liturgically and theologically correct religious art, iconography, and furniture.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Social media has played and is playing a big role in our
community today. This role can be perceived negatively or positively by people
depending on what aspect it is judged. For bloggers, social media is a big help in promoting our blogs and promoting the articles that we have
written to reach a wider audience, thus one of the best ways to
endorse the product or service that we intend to advertise. Also, through
social media, we will be able to, as bloggers, to invite other people to attend
events for product launching or any other activity for a cause and the like.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For ordinary people, social media is so far the best outlet
for them to express how they feel, to post whatever is on their minds, to tweet
or share any information they have read that they may think interesting to
others, to post a picture of what they are doing on that very moment so that
other people who follow them is updated of their activities or even their
schedule for a specific time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, other people, especially those who are
working in public offices, view social media as a way of stalking them, a way
of invading their privacy, or a way of putting them in a shameful position and
dragging their names in scandalous activities. Some personalities may likewise
think social media as a way of irresponsible journalism because anyone can post
anything (without scrutinizing the authenticity of the story first) where
hundreds or even thousands or millions of people may see and share them to the
rest of the world.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
While this is the case, still we cannot deny that
social media has been a great help when it comes to information dissemination
that it is now deemed effective as to spreading the news (sadly we are talking
of both accurate and reliable news). Now, it is our responsibility to verify
the facts and to check if the articles or news that we read
online is authentic or not.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The end of the year is fast approaching. Actually, only few days to go before the New Year’s Eve and we will then all bid our
goodbyes to 2014. We will finally leave all the sad memories, the heartaches
and other bad things that happened in this year and we will only need to take
happy memories with us in the next year. Though easier said than done, it is
still best if we give it a try, right?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before we officially bid goodbye to 2014, it is common for
us, especially Filipinos, to welcome the New Year with a bang! And the best and
effective way to do this is to use firecrackers of various types to light up
hours before and during (and even after) the New Year’s Eve. We usually believe
that the louder the noise, the better; the louder the “bang” the more lucky we
will be the following year. This is because of an ancient belief that was
imparted to us by the Chinese which is, “<i>to
let the bad spirits or the bad luck stay away from us, we must disturb them
with loud noises so that they will go away, thus luck will be on our side</i>”.
Even though we do not have scientific basis or explanation for this belief, we
still observe this practice every year – regardless if this is true or not. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Due to the massive and effective campaign of the Department
of Health and other involved private agencies, together with the fast evolution
of technology, various ways have been implemented, especially by the
government, to encourage people to stop using these dangerous firecrackers
during New Year’s Eve to avoid untoward accidents. Parade of Lights, the use of
Sky Lanterns, remote-controlled lighted, flying objects, LASER and other Hi-Tech
innovations are displayed and done to entertain the people and celebrate the
Media Noche with the same enthusiasm and positivity. Locals have even been accustomed
to using kitchenware to make loud noises in lieu of pyrotechnics for their own
safety.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However we celebrate this worldwide event, we must always
keep in mind of the “Safety First” policy and that be responsible for whatever
actions we plan to take so that no one will get hurt in the process. After all,
we are all planning to welcome the New Year with a smile in our faces.<o:p></o:p></div>

It was recently announced by Department of Transportation and Communication last week that there will be an increase in passenger's fare for LRT 1, LRT 2 and MRT 3. Based on DOTC, the said increase has long been overdue since May of this year and they will do whatever it takes to push the plans to make the public transportation organized for its patrons. This will enable DOTC to save 2 Billion pesos to use for its future plans, renovations and public services.<br />
<br />
This press release made by the Government angered the Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares aiming to file a petition to stop the increase in ticket price. Two of the justifications he provided was the government did not follow any due process and there was no public hearing held for their own benefits. <br />
<br />
Most of the commuters who daily take advantage of the said transportation were students and workers with a minimum salary wage. This will further increase the burden of those people who rely solely on riding the LRT and MRT lines.<br />
<br />
Senator Alan Cayetano expressed his intention to cushion the impact of the fare hike by calling his allies inside the administration to create plans. He suggested that there will be a lot of ways to decrease the implemented fare matrices by lessening infomercials and ads instead of giving a full blow to its passengers. He disregarded the reason made by the DOTC to improve the train services for the Congress already issued a budget that was done early this year. <br />
<br />
Under the proposed fare increase, the LRT 1 base will start at 12 pesos and will increase by a peso every station it will land. In an end to end point, you will spend 29 pesos to be able to reach the last station.<br />
<br />
In Lrt 2, the ticket price will jumpstart at 15 pesos that marked an increase of 3 pesos from its previous price. From Santolan to Recto or the other way around, there will be an amount of P25 to spend to reach the last stations.<br />
<br />
For Metro Rail Transit, a single to 4-station ride drop-off will cost P15 and will eventually increase to 25 pesos as the train reaches the end station.<br />
<br />
As Bayan Muna party-list quoted, the Aquino Administration immediately proposed and insisted the fare hike for the privatization program attracting local and international investors through Public-Private-Projects Initiatives. This will enable both profits for the Government and to the investors who will be awarded with the rail transit transportation as the bid goes on.<br />
<br />
Most patrons wanted to see the changes first before the government asked for any increase with the ticket's price. From there, they will rethink if riding a train will be worth of their hard-earned money or not.<br />

This Christmas season, it is important for us to bear in our
minds the reason why we are celebrating this yuletide season in the first
place. In this month of December, it is a must for us to remember that our Lord
came in this world in order to save us from our sins; He came to redeem us from
the wickedness of this world.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also have to recollect the fact that our Lord God is
humble being born only in a manger. This is the message that is sent to us - we
must learn how to humble ourselves, no matter how rich or financially wealthy
we are because Christ himself symbolizes humility. Even though He is a son of
God, He did not demanded for a special “birthing place” or become “man” in a
wealthy family; instead, He was born in a poor family.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, the essence of celebrating Christmas season is not
to have a house full of Christmas lights, having a tall and beautiful Christmas
tree full of gifts underneath it and giving expensive gifts. Christmas
basically means sharing what you have, not just the material things but also
those that can only be felt like a warm, tight hug, a simple thank you, showing
our appreciation to our loved ones and forgiveness among others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whichever of these are important to you this holiday season,
just remember that it’s the thought that counts and that love is the most
important thing in the world. When love governs our hearts and minds, everything
will follow and we don’t need to wait for Christmas time to share our love to
other people. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
We have seen that blogging is not all about writing, it also gives us the chance to earn in many ways while in front of the computer. Starting a new blog takes a lot of hard work and this can put many people off but don’t be discouraged, keep writing quality article. Spread the word about your blog and new posts. Promote your site on social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.<br />
<br />
Remember, your blog is an extension of you and your brand, and your loyal readers will keep coming back to hear what you have to say. Don't blog like a reporter. Blog like you're having a conversation with each of your readers. Blog from your heart. And if you want other people to read what you have to say, you need to write well. With more experience, you begin to understand how to engage your readers and as you continue to write, you become a better communicator. Dave Kerpen, author and CEO of Likeable Local.<br />

Maximo Aton- 35 year-old, is from Montalban, Rizal. A passenger and his companion left one of their bags which contained a laptop and P5,000 in cash.<br />
<br />
<i>"Hi guys, I just want to share the experience we had with this guy.<br />Indeed i can call it "a day"...<br /><br />Meron kaming "raket" sa Crowne Plaza Hotel sa Ortigas, tabi ng Robinson's Galleria. It was a very stressful day. Somehow na-overcome namin. Sobrang nakakapagod...<br /><br />Uwian time na. Around 6:30pm, sa main entrance ng hotel. Ang hirap maghanap ng masasakyang taxi. Although maraming taxi sa daan, dala na rin ng sobrang traffic at rush hour, karamihan kokontratahin ka. Taytay ang way nmin from Ortigas. After an hour and a half finally nakahanap kami na willing maghatid ng pa-metro lng ang charge then sabi ko dadagdagan na lang namin. Madami kaming dalang gamit pero 2 lng kami na sasakay. Nakarating kami sa bahay, nagulat ako sa metro ng taxi. From Crowne Plaza Ortigas hanggang bayan ng Taytay P163.00 lang ang metro, given na natrapik at halos nakatulog na kami sa bandang Ever Ortigas. Dinoble ko nlng yung bayad sa kanya. Pagkababa ko ng taxi sabi ko kay Hero, "Pare pakibaba na lahat ng gamit magpapapalit lang ako ng barya". Wala kasing barya si manong. Pagbalik ko naibaba niya na "daw" lahat ng gamit. Dala rin cguro ng pagod hindi namin namalayan na may naiwan pala. Nakaalis na yung taxi nung malaman nmin. Naiwan sa taxi yung BAG.. na ang laman ay laptop at P5000 cash..<br /><br />Indi namin nakuha yung plate number or anything sa taxi dahil din sa pagod at kagustuhan na lng namin makauwi. Then naalala ko, sa Crowne Plaza kami sumakay, baka nakuha ng security yung plaka ng taxi. Tawag agad ako sa Crowne Plaza. Sabi sakin titignan yung record, tawag ako after 5 minutes.. After 5 minutes, binigay sakin yung plate number at pati cellphone number nung driver! Nagulat ako. Bumilib ako sa security ng hotel na yun.<br /><br />Tinawagan ko agad yung driver. Pagkasagot niya, sabi ko "Kami pla yung hinatid ninyo ng Taytay kanina lng.." hindi pa ako tapos magsalita sabi niya sakin, "ay oo sir may naiwan kayong bag. Sinubukan kong bumalik sa inyo, ndi ko na matandaan yung lugar narito na ako sa Recto". Sabi ko sir baka pwedeng makuha ko yung bag kasi importante yung laman. Indi ko sinabi kung ano laman, even though alam ko na pwede niyang tignan yung laman. Sabi niya ibabalik na niya sana sa Crowne Plaza since hindi nya alam kung anung gagwin dun. Sabi ko magkita na lang kami dun para makuha ko. After a while nagtxt siya. "Sir gusto mo sa junction na lang tayu magkita para hindi kana mahirapan.." Nahiya ako, at the same time medyo nagtaka dahil mapapalyo pa sya para lng hindi ako mahirapan. Effort talga si manong. Sinabi ko na lang na pwede po mas malapit with doubt kung magpapakita ba siya or hindi. Mahirap magtiwala agad. Sinama ko si Hero, punta kami ng junction 7-11, sabi ko sa driver dun kami magkita. Indi sya nagreply. Pero after a few minutes, bigla syang dumating at nakangiti pa sa amin. Nawala stress nmin. Naibalik yung laptop ng maayus, pati yung pera na walang bawas at hindi nagalaw.<br /><br />Para sa akin napakalaking bagay ng effort na ginawa niya, kung tutuusin pera na yun may gamit pa. Binibgyan ko sya ng pera para sa abala ayaw nyang tanggapin. Pero pinilit ko pa din iabot. Nakakatuwang naranasan ko yung ganito. May mga ganitong tao pa pala. Para sa akin saludo ako at hindi lahat ng taxi driver may kalokohan. Salamat Sir! Kudos din Crowne Plaza Security para sa kumpletong detalye ng mga taxing sinasakyan ng mga guests nyo."<br /><br />MAXIMO ATON<br />O.L.A. Taxi with Plate number TYZ 619.</i><br />

This was posted on Facebook months ago but did not go viral. Chowking management was fast enough to act on this matter with the dissatisfied costumer. According to the poster, they ordered chicken and tofu and was served with additional piece of metal ingredient as shown on the photo's above.<br />
<br />
Chowking was the first Filipino fast food opened in Qatar in 2009 so all the Filipinos were really eager to taste its famous meal from back home. There was a lot of kabayan waited outside on its opening day. It was a long line but worth the wait. The service was not the best but at least they tried so hard to please the hungry costumers. In the past year, the service and quality of food has changed because of poor management.<br />

Starting a blog is easy and one of the simple if you do it for passion and not thinking of earning write away.

Think ahead of what you'd like to gain from your blog in a span of time.<br />
<br />
To start a blog, a group of bloggers shared their best tip for getting traffic for a new blogger with a brand new blog, meaning someone who is getting online for the very first time and does not have any connections yet or not aware of SEO (Search Engine Optimization).<br />
<br />
1. Explore other blogs before creating your own blog. Visiting other sites will help you with the basics of blogging like template design.<br />
<div>
<br />

<br />
4. Be unique and informative. Write well and readers will come.<br />
<br />
5. Post/Share links through social network sites like twitter and Facebook, at least your first followers/readers will be your family and friends. Social media helps your blog reach readers through your friends and family. <br />
<br />
6 Join many groups to share your posts daily. <br />
<br />
7. Keep on updating a blog will work the best. If you can post 1-3 articles every day the better. The best way to keep readers coming back is to always see your blog visible with new articles. <br />
<br />
8. Comment to other sites to establish connections with other bloggers. <br />

In blogging plagiarism is rampant, most site owners who can't write and after the Adsense earnings only, copy and paste their articles from other websites. Plagiarism is stealing and publication of another author's articles without giving any attribution to the website. For bloggers there are ways to avoid plagiarism by giving credit where credit is due. Paraphrase or rewriting is acceptable, write the idea in your own words, making sure not to just rearrange or replace a few words. A good and honest blogger acknowledge the source of the information by including any attribution.<br />

An anonymous concern citizen posted this on Facebook, shared by Pinoy Rap Radio on March 1, with 122,805 share and 81, 449 as of this writing. A story of an epileptic father who keep waiting for her daughter who abandoned him. Hopefully, Antonio Tapales Terrado, of Tapulao, Orani, Bataan will reunite with his daughter.<br />
<i><br />February 16, 2014, nakaduty ako sa trabaho, bandang tanghalian May pumasok na matanda at umorder ng pagkain, pagkalapag nya ng kanyang pagkain sa lamesa bigla syang bumagsak, tinulungan sya ng isang manager at crew namin para iupo, nakita ko na pipikit pikit sya, inaalog ang ulo at pinipiga piga ang mga palad, lumapit ako para kamustahin at asikasuhin sya, madami namang nagpakita ng malasakit at gustong tumulong, binalak namin syang dalin sa pinakamalapit na ospital para makunsulta ng doktor, pero tumanggi sya dahil nahihirapan sya, sinabi nya na hayaan lang daw muna namin sya,kinuha nya yung kutsara at binalot sa bimpo at kinagat, humiga sya sa sahig, bigla syang nangisay, dun namin nalaman na epeleptic pala sya at alam nya ang ginagawa nya, kaya hinawakan lang namin ng mahigpit yung kamay nya at hinintay na matapos yung atake nya. Nung medyo mabuti na ang lagay nya tinanong ko sya kung may gamot ba sya, sabi nya wala na daw at wala na syang pera,nagmagandang loob na ko na ibili sya ng gamot "dylantine 100 mg" (soundslike lang kasi mahinang mahina ang boses nya) pagkatapos nyang uminom ng gamot dun ko na sya tinanong kung taga saan sya at bakit wala syang kasama gayung ganun ang kondisyon nya. Sinabi nya na taga bataan sya at walang kilala dito sa BALIUAG,BULACAN,nagtungo daw sya dito para makipagkita sa kanyang anak na si "LEAH TERRADO". February daw ng iwan sya ng kanyang anak para sumama sa karelasyon nito,may tumawag daw sa kaibigan nya na nagpakilalang kaibigan ng anak nya na pumunta sa simbahan ng St. Agustine church sa Baliuag at doon sya susunduin ng kanyang anak. Pero buon umaga hanggang tanghalo hndi daw sya sinipot ng kanyang anak, at ilang beses na daw ginawa sa kanya ng anak nya to.sinabi daw sa kanya na wala na syang pakinabang at pabigat lamang, byudo na si Tatay kaya yung anak na lamang nya ang kanyang inaasahan, ngunit iniwan pa daw sya nito. Walang wala ng pera si Tatay at wala syang cellphone o numero na alam na pwedeng tawagan, wala din syang kilala dito sa baliuag.sa tulong ng ibang mga katrabaho ko na nagmagandang loob, binigyan namin sya ng pera na sobra pa para makauwi sa Bataan,at pinabaunan ng pagkain at tubig, tumutuloy daw sya sa kaibigan nya sa Bataan na sa si ROJELLO LUWALHATI. (UMIIYAK SYA HABANG NAGKUKWENTO) Bumalik muna sya sa simbahan at umasang baka puntahan pa sya ng kanyang anak.ipagdasal na lang po natin sya.Hindi po pulubi si Tatay Antonio, nung unay tumatanggi talaga sya na tanggapin yung pera, nagmagandang loob lang po ako na tumulong dahil one way lang ang pera nya dahil umasa sya na susunduin sya ng anak nya. Di ko sya naturn over sa police or sa kahit anong government aid kasi nakaduty ako, yun na Lang po tlga ung magagawa ko para tulungan sya, saka Ang ikalat yung story nya.kailangan ko sumunod sa rules ng trabaho ko, isa pa po nag-insist sya na bumalik sa simbahan at maghintay pang ilang oras.<br /><br />Nagpaalam po ako sa kanya kung pwede kong picturan ang ID at sarili nya para ipost dito sa facebook. Umaasa po ako na sana binalikan sya ng anak nya, o kung hindi man ay makauwi sya ng maayos sa kaibigan nya sa Bataan. Sana po tulungan nyo ko na ishare yung storya nya baka sakalaing makatulong tayo kahit papaano.<br /><br />Wag po natin hayaan na mangyari ito sa mga magulang natin, kahit anong mangyari sana wag natin silang iiwan.<br />Para po kay tatay ANTONIO TAPALES TERRADO.<br /><br />Please wag din po natin basta basta i-judge yung anak nya, this was only based on tatay ANTONIO's side. Di natin alam pinagdadaanan nila, pero totoong kahit ano pa ang nangyari, sa pagkakakilala ko kay tatay ANTONIO, alam kong totoo sya, hndi nya deserve na abandunahin lalo na sa kalagayan nya.<br /><br />Di na po ako magpapakilala.<br />Concern citizen lang po.<br />Sana po Pakishare po sa wall nyo and sa mga pages nyo or any pages na sikat para mabilis kumalat at makarating sa mga nakakakilala Kay Tatay Antonio.<br />Salamat po sa mga magshare. Godbless.</i></div>

I'm a loyal consumer of your product for so many years already and I love your loaf bread, really. However, I would like to express my DISGUST when I saw this unknown insect embedded in one of the slices. I am providing photos as proof that this have happened inside your factory, there is no way that I planted this and I have no reason to do that. All I want is to enjoy my breakfast. Honestly, I'm devastated that I might have eaten the other half of the insect's wings because it's obviously cut by the machine together with the bread.<br />
<br />
Back in college, we went to your production plant as part of our field trip. I was amazed knowing that you are ISO certified as well. I can't believe that your QA overlooked this. I've been trying to call your hotline but maybe you relied on your operator system too much or probably because it's a Sunday and no one's in the office today.<br />
<br />
I am more than willing to send you this particular slice of bread so you could see for yourself. I cannot find any email address to send you photos in better quality than this photo collage. I just used iPhone BTW, but I did my best to take clear shots.<br />
<br />
I am writing this to also share awareness to other consumers that by any chance they experience the same incident, they might want to speak up as well. I know this might cause a bad publicity to your brand but such customer complaint will surely improve the business itself.<br />
<br />
And to everyone who's reading this right now, some of you will surely bash me for this but it really won't help. It was NOT YOU who ALMOST ate an insect for breakfast. I'm just disappointed, thank you for your utmost understanding.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
