CEBU PACIFIC PROMO!

been waiting for a super promo from them just like last year (christmas) when my friends and i availed their ZERO FARE promo for our trip to hongkong. everything from booking, baggage, take-off and back went smoothly, and we're very thankful. this banner's supposed to show the latest promo if it helps you:



IN THE NEWS TODAY:

LUCKY CEBUANA WINS FREE TRIPS FROM CEBU PACIFIC!
(swerte!)

MANILA, Philippines—This Cebuana’s unlucky streak finally ended on Wednesday.

Just as she was about to hop onto her flight to her home province of Cebu, Grace Geloca, who spent the last four months in Cavite as househelp, got a call from the management of Cebu Pacific who informed her that she had won a prize for being the air carrier's 36 millionth passenger.

Cebu Pacific gave her a year-long travel pass which entitles her to free trips to destinations covered by the country's foremost budget carrier. On top of this, she also got her old job back and even brushed elbows with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Geloca, 19, met Arroyo face to face when the President graced Cebu Pacific's first anniversary of operations out of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (Naia-3).

“This is not transferable to your boyfriend,” Arroyo teased the giggling Geloca as the President handed her the prize. Arroyo and Geloca stood on the stage with JG Summit chair emeritus John Gokongwei and his son, Cebu Pacific president and chief executive Lance Gokongwei.

Wearing an orange pantsuit, the President interviewed Geloca, who shared a bit of her story as househelp in Cavite.

Geloca told Arroyo that she had been laid off in Cebu as a machine worker. She flew to Manila to look for another job but ended up as a house maid in Cavite.

“It was also her first time to ride an airplane four months ago,” Arroyo told the audience when she asked Geloca if her flight home aboard Cebu Pacific was her first flight experience.

The President said the Cebuana teenager had to leave her hometown in Carcar because she got laid off from the company she was working for. Geloca told Arroyo that sales were probably slow and that's why a lot of people including her got the pink slip.
But the company called up Geloca recently to inform her that she could have her old job back, the President said.

Arroyo wished Geloca well, telling her “good luck to your new phase in life,” before stepping off the stage after a photo opportunity and proceeding to her waiting convoy outside the departure area of Terminal 3.

SOLAR ECLIPSE in the PHILIPPINES

YAHOO NEWS MANILA - The Philippines will witness a partial solar eclipse on July 22, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Thursday. The state weather bureau said the path of the moon's umbral shadow will begin in India and is expected to cross Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Central China, the Pacific Ocean, Ryukyu Island, Marshal Island and Kiribati.

It said a partial eclipse will be witnessed in several parts of the Philippines including Metro Manila, Calayan Island, Laoag City, Tuguegarao City, Baguio City, Angeles City in Pampanga, Puerto Princesa in Palawan, Lucena City, Naga City, Iloilo, Cebu, Zamboanga, Sulu, Davao and General Santos City.

PAGASA said the eclipse will start in Metro Manila at exactly 8:33:01 a.m. The eclipse's full visibility will be seen at 9:43 a.m. and will end at 11:01:51 a.m. Other areas in the globe that will witness partial solar eclipse are those in eastern Asia and the Pacific Ocean. The weather bureau, meanwhile, cautioned spectators to avoid directly looking at the eclipse without safety eye devices.

It said people can cover their eyes with X-ray films, sun glasses, smoked glass and photographic films and negatives. It said the safest method to view the eclipse is by indirect viewing "like projecting the image with a pinhole camera."

BAGYO ngayong july - FERIA

hanep. kahapon sobrang init tapos biglang nagdilim ang paligid. biglang may BAGYO na!

Nangka is its international name. Feria dito sa philippines. dito sa metro manila hindi masyadong maulan pero mahangin at high tide naman. if you live in the camanava area, goodluck!

kaninang umaga ayon sa balita, 600 passengers daw ang na-stranded sa oriental mindoro dahil sa bagyo.

Packing winds of up to 83 kilometers (52 miles) an hour—with gusts of up to 102 kilometers (63 miles)—the storm brought floods, landslides, and power cuts across small islands in the center of the archipelago.

source: gmanews.tv
a fisherman in cebu/samar islands drowned and his six mates are missing. maraming na ring nasirang bahay at isang school. bukas, huwebes, inaasahang aalis na ang bagyo papuntang south china sea. sana nga.

ang hirap ng may bagyo. but it's the earth's way of balancing itself. moving the lands, clearing the fields, reshaping its surfaces on its own. and nobody can stop these "changes" from occuring. so help us God.

ARAW NG MGA TATAY

papa, papi, tatay, itang, ama, amang, dad, daddy, father, padir... kahit ano pa mang tawag natin sa mga haligi ng tahanan... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY po!



father's day is celebrated every 3rd sunday of june. here's the history:

HISTORY OF FATHER'S DAY

Father's Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting, and to honour and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving, special dinners to fathers, and family-oriented activities.

The first observance of Father's Day is believed to have been held on July 5, 1908 in a church located in Fairmont, West Virginia, by Dr. Robert Webb of West Virginia at the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South of Fairmont.[1] [2] The church still exists under the name of Central United Methodist Church.

Sonora Smart Dodd of Washington thought independently of the holiday one Sunday in 1909 while listening to a Mother's Day sermon at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church at Spokane,[3] and she arranged a tribute for her father on June 19, 1910. She was the first to solicit the idea of having an official Father's Day observance to honor all fathers.

It took many years to make the holiday official. In spite of support from the YWCA, the YMCA and churches, it ran the risk of disappearing from the calendar.[4] Where Mother's Day was met with enthusiasm, Father's Day was met with laughter.[4] The holiday was gathering attention slowly, but for the wrong reasons. It was the target of much satire, parody and derision, including jokes from the local newspaper Spokesman-Review.[4] Many people saw it as just the first step in filling the calendar with mindless promotions like "Grandparents' Day", "Professional Secretaries' Day", etc., all the way down to "National Clean Your Desk Day."[4]

A bill was introduced in 1913,[5] US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea in 1924,[citation needed] and a national committee was formed in the 1930s by trade groups in order to legitimize the holiday.[6] It was made a federal holiday when President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation in 1966.

In addition to Father's Day, International Men's Day is celebrated in many countries, most often on November 19.

AH1N1 MISCONCEPTIONS

AH1N1 causes paranoia and panic to us filipinos because of the little information being broadcasted in the news. of course! it's a normal reaction when you're only presented with schools shutting down and the increasing number of people who are proven to be affected by it.

but what really is AH1N1?

hindi pala tayo kailangang mag-panic pero kailangan nating maging maingat. ANO ANG AH1N1 ayon kay kuya kim of abs-cbn:

1. ang AH1N1 ay isang mahinang klase ng flu virus, ngunit mabilis itong makahawa.

2. mas nakakatakot pa ang trangkaso at dengue kumpara sa AH1N1. wala pa sa 1% ang namamatay dahil sa pandemic na ito.

3. ito ay naisasalin sa pamamagitan ng talsik ng laway ( when coughing, sneezing or plain talking ) at HINDI sa hangin tulad ng kinatatakutan ng marami.

4. maiiwasan ang AH1N1 sa pamamagitan ng basic health habits tulad ng paghuhugas ng kamay at pagkain ng masustansyang pagkain na nakakalakas ng resistensya tulad ng mga prutas at dark green leafy vegetables (kangkong, talbos ng kamote).

o ayan. wag na tayo masyado mag-alala basta magpalakas lang ng resistensya!

singing LUPANG HINIRANG incorrectly

may put you behind bars for 2 years and would fine you 100,000 pesosesosesoses. at first i thought this bill is funny but then it has a point. makes me think, "wow, pati national anthem strict na rin sa genre."
Improvised singing of “Lupang Hinirang” may soon be considered a criminal act.The House committee on basic education and culture, chaired by Rep. Del de Guzman of Marikina, announced the passage on third and final reading of the measure proposing to criminalize the incorrect rendition of the National Anthem. The bill imposes two-year imprisonment and a fine of P100,000.

Rep. Salvador Escudero 3rd of Sorsogon said once the bill is enacted into law, deviating from the musical arrangement of composer Maestro Julian Felipe Felipe when singing “Lupang Hinirang” will be considered a crime punishable under Republic Act 8491 signed on February 12, 1998.

manila times

LUPANG HINIRANG, the philippine's national anthem, should be in the range of 100-120 metronome, a marching-type tempo, and 2/4 beat when played, 4/4 when sung. it's not meant to be sad, or slow like we're mourning. it's supposed to be a declaration song, expression of pride and hope and love for country all at the same time.

ano sa palagay mo?

what is INDEPENDENCE to you?


so everyone's on a holiday mode today celebrating the INDEPENDENCE DAY. what does it
really mean to be independent? if aguinaldo were alive until now, i wonder what would he do.

with all these things going on in the government, who would know whom to trust?

NONE! it seems that they're all FAKE after all the support they received from our people. they play games with each other, make all those comical advertisements for next year's election, feeling actors and actresses who won't go beyond their limits when it comes to serving the nation but would go farther for their own benefit. where have all the heroes gone?

if today's status is what they call "independence", then i'd rather go dependent. it's all too bad and messy out here now and in my honest opinion, we cannot stand on our own. we need help. we cannot trust OUR OWN anymore, we could probably trust those coming from rich or improved countries because they have proof of their real intentions. sometimes i feel that we are so full of pride and all-knowing, when what we just know is how to adapt, never to risk or change for a better future.

just me rambling my thoughts. i'm not losing hope though.

DENGUE ALERT!

the increasing number of dengue cases this month is very alarming!

mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors: black and blue. i remember this quite well because we had a mosquito killer gadget a long time ago that emits a blue light which is supposed to "enchant" the mosquitoes and electrocute them. so here's an advise from GMANEWs.TV:

MANILA – Makatutulong ang kulay ng damit na isinusuot para hindi lapitan ng lamok na nagtataglay ng virus na nagdudulot ng nakamamatay na sakit na dengue, ayon sa pinuno ng Department of Health.

Inihayag ni Health Secretary Francisco Duque III nitong Martes na mas lapitin ng lamok ang mga kasuotan o damit na madilim ang kulay tulad ng itim at dark blue.

Dahil dito, pinayuhan ng kalihim ang publiko na magsuot ng mga damit ng “light colors" ngayong panahon ng tag-ulan na aktibo ang mga lamok na nagtataglay ng dengue.

“Attracted ang lamok na nagkakalat ng dengue sa maitim ang kulay ... Kailangan siguraduhin nila na ang search and destroy (policy) sa kapaligiran ay ipaiiral," paliwanag ni Duque sa panayam ng dzXL radio.

Pinayuhan ni Duque ang mga mag-aaral na may unipormeng black o dark blue na higit na maging maingat sa kagat ng lamok.

Nanawagan din ng kalihim na patuloy na maglinis ng paligid at alisin ang mga nakabarang tubig na maaring pamahayan at pag-itlugan ng mga lamok.

Dapat din umanong kaagad magpatingin sa duktor ang mga may lagnat na may kasamang pananakit ng katawan.

“Medical emergency ang dengue, nakamamatay ito. Sa isang kagat lang baka ka matepok," paalala niya. - GMANews.TV

sa panahon ngayon, bawal magkasakit! AVOID BLACK and BLUES!

SARANGANI, PHILIPPINES

there are quite a lot of paradise islands here in the Philippines. in fact, my friends and i will be visiting the CARAMOAN PENINSULA in july. FYI, caramoan is the resort especially chosen by the production of SURVIVOR FRANCE to tape one of their shows.

anyway, there's another paradise in the philippines called SARANGANI. i haven't been there myself but i'm finding out more about the place through reading. read with me:


SARANGANI: UNMATCHED BEAUTY

From ancient finds to endangered wildlife, from rugged coasts to mythical caves, Sarangani has it all.

Sarangani is a province whose unmatched beauty has yet to bediscovered. Few places are as splendidly endowed with natural resources that promise opportunities for development as this predominantly coastal province in the southernmost tip of the Philippines. Most of its treasures have remained untapped to this day including its 230-kilometer coastline strewn with awe-inspiring coves and rock formations.

Sarangani is full of wondrous surprises. Motoring across the province is as pleasurable as taking a breeze in one’s own paradise. A golf course in the valleys of Malungon offers some of the most challenging fairways in the region. It is also here where asparagus and tropical fruits are grown and dried flowers are made for the export market.

A sense of discovery overwhelms one when approaching the eastern municipalities of Alabel, Malapatan and Glan, which face the tranquil waters of Sarangani Bay. These towns have beaches wonderfully preserved by protective coves, and shipwreck diving sites dating back to Spanish times. The bay is more popularly known to be the home of the Sarangani Bay bangus (milkfish). Turn over another stone and one will find that the bay is also home to simple village folk who have lived their lives carving and painting their dreams in the boats they build.

While the province is intersected by General Santos City, the discoveries that await in the three western municipalities of Maasim, Kiamba and Maitum are as countless as the golden sunrises of the Celebes Sea. In 1991, anthropomorphic jars were found in Ayub cave at Maitum which have come to be known in world history as Maitum Jars. A sanctuary of the largest bats in the world can also be found in the same site. Endemic to the Philippines, over 180,000 giant golden-crown flying foxes can be seen dangling in the branches of forest trees during daytime.

With its back to the Daguma Range, the lush mountains of this province hold many of nature’s wonderful creatures including the tarsier, the smallest monkey in the world and its predator, the Philippine eagle. From its bosom also flows the purest freshwater sources and pristine waterfalls unsettled only by short dips of its native dwellers and a few daring adventurers.

It is amazing how one can still uncover treasures of the old world in a place like Sarangani. Let its limitless wonders unravel before you.

PHILIPPINE FLAG DAYS

there's a chance the we have already forgotten what the colors and graphics of our Philippine Flag symbolize simply because we are too occupied and presented with many things to debug everyday of our lives. it's good to be reminded of the following information once again. read on:

Iloilo City (1 June) -- As May 28 to June 12 are declared as Flag Days throughout the country via Republic Act No. 8491, how well do you know our national flag?

The Philippine national flag was a brainchild of President Emilio Aguinaldo according to historical books.

Its colors symbolize certain values: the red field means that Filipino valor is second to none. The white field means that Filipinos are capable of governing themselves. The sky blue field signifies the loftiness of the Filipino struggle for freedom.

The equilateral triangle represents the Katipunan ideals of Liberty, Equality, and the Brotherhood of Men.

The three stars represent the three major geographical subdivisions of the Philippine archipelago, namely Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The points in each star represent all the islands that make up these major geographic subdivisions.

The eight rays of the sun represent the eight provinces declared by the colonial government to be in a state of war (an estado de Guerra) during the revolution.

The Philippine flag is further distinguished from all other national flags. When the red field is up and the blue field is below, it signifies that the country is at war.

Moreover, the Philippine Flag not only represents national identity but this was colored by the blood of our forefathers and enshrined by their sacrifices.

R.A. No. 8491 is a reminder to every Filipino that the Philippine national flag is the singular symbol of the country defining the unity of the various towns, provinces, regions, and ethno-linguistic and sectoral groups of the nation. It also advocates national unity, love of country, and nationhood.

The law enjoins all agencies and instrumentalities of government, business establishments, institutions of learning, and private homes in the country to display the Philippine national flag during the Flag Days period.

24-hour MRT operation starting JUNE 1!

MANILA, Philippines -- The Metro Rail Transit or MRT-3 on EDSA (Epifanio delos Santos Avenue) is going on 24-hour operations starting June 1, a transportation official said.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) decided to expand its business hours as studies revealed that many commuters, especially workers in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector, needed a safe and reliable mode of transportation late at night or early in the morning, said transportation undersecretary and MRT-3 general manager Reynaldo Berroya.

Citing the study, Berroya said most call center agents were found to leave their offices at around midnight and at 4 a.m.

“At this period, most buses and jeepneys are in their garages already,” Berroya said.

The expanded operation is also seen to benefit commuters who may be stranded in the event of flooding during the rainy season, he said.

Security guards will be posted in stations and in trains to keep passengers safe during the late-night operation, he said.

well, ano bang masasabi ko? isa itong magandang balita lalo na ngayon at napakaraming pinoy at pinay na ang pang-gabi o pang-madaling-araw ang uwi. mangyari lamang sana na maging maayos ang security sa bawat station kasi tinatambayan ng mga manyakis at mga holdapers.

kudos to DoTC! excellent idea!

requirements / how to get POSTAL ID card

even voter's registration require IDs now so my sister might get a postal ID one of these days, or maybe just renew her NBI clearance; whatever's faster.

mother ko unang kumuha ng postal ID sa amin. first step is go to your town's municipal hall and inquire. it should be standard but for some reasons, iba-iba ang singil sa bawat city. i don't know why. here are the requirements:

1. application form - dalawam-piso isa.

2. 3 pcs. 2×2 ID picture with white background

3. community tax certificate (cedula) - makukuha din sa munisipyo, ang bayad ay depende sa trabaho. obviously, kapag sinabi mong call center agent ka, malaki ang babayaran mo. kapag sinabi mong still looking for work, mga 22 pesos lang.

4. barangay clearance - makukuha sa barangay hall. mga 19-20 pesos lang ito, minsan libre pa kapag may kakilala ka. haha.

5. marriage contract (if married) and birth certificate

ang binayaran ng mother ko ay 300 pesos, hindi pa kasama yung mga ibang babayaran tulad ng bayad sa cedula, barangay clearance, zerox nung application form, at pagpapakuha ng picture. kapag minalas-malas ka pa, baka pabayaran din ung lamination nung card.

valid for 5 years ang postal ID. hindi computerized. parang karton lang at manually typewritten ang mga information dito. 125 pesos lang ang fee according to the application form, kaya lang daw umaabot sa 300 (or minsan 300 plus pa sa ibang lugar tulad ng cavite, QC, etc) ay dahil sa pagpapa-notaryo. when you look at the card, overpriced mo talaga masasabi.

take note: hindi sila nag-iissue ng resibo para dito hindi katulad ng sa cedula, naka-indicate kung magkano ang binayaran mo.

ang masasabi ko lang, sana ay ma-improve yung card o di kaya naman, babaan nila ng fee. mas masaya kung libre hehehe, tutal nagbabayad naman tayo ng tax. sa panahon ngayon, maraming nanghihinayang kumuha ng postal ID, kasi kung sa jollibee mo nga naman yun dadalin ay busog na busog ka na.

PINOY BINGO NIGHTS: HOW TO BE A HOME PARTNER

my sister and i were able to exchange 31 bingo cards with our goldilocks receipt last mother's day. yipee! ang haba-haba nung nakuha namin.

kaya lang, problem namin, hindi namin alam kung paano maglaro nito kaya balisa kami. buti na lang may internet!

so ganito pala maging home partner ng pinoy bingo nights:

* bawat bingo cards pala valid for one week, kahit anong araw. check mo lang ung week number sa ibaba nung card kung anong week mo sya ilalaro.

* tapos every late afternoon sa pinoy bingo nights, hintayin mo i-flash sa TV ung apat ng set ng numbers (or 20 numbers total) tapos check mo kung naka-buo ka ng X pattern. kapag hindi, ok lang. better luck next time.

* pero kung OO.... SHOCKS! mag-text ka na agad! kailangang ma-register ang serial number nung bingo card mo para meron ka pang makukuhang 50,000 pesosesosesoses bukod pa dun sa 150,000 pesos na paghahatian ng lahat ng mga homeviewers na naka-bingo nung araw na yun.

ano dapat mong i-text? eto:

BINGOAKO

then i-send sa 2366.

gets? gets na yan!

ipapalit na ang mga sachets, containers at resibo sa halip na itapon. hu knows, baka kayo na ang susunod na manalo! sa panahon ngayon, kailangang samantalahin ang maaaring magin source ng money na hindi kinakailangan ng puhunan, diba?

kung ang hanap nyo ay ang english version nito o mas detalyadong impormasyon tungkol sa game, eto po ang mga links:

salamat at gudlak!

text FIRE to 09186888888

gusto mo bang malaman kung saan papunta ang mga mabibilis na truck ng bumbero na dumadaan sa harapan ng bahay nyo?

pwes, kung may LOAD ka, text mo ang word na FIRE sa 0918-6-888888 or 0922-6-888888.

ito ay isang napaka-brilliant na idea ng ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE.

malaking tulong ito para malaman natin kung malapit ba o malayo ang pangyayari sa mga bahay ng kamag-anak at kaibigan, o maging sa lugar mismo natin. TOTOO ito, hindi ito SMS SCAM or CHAIN TEXT ha. nasa website rin nila yan. check it out.

ang latest reply nila sa text ko kani-kanina lang:
FIRE ALERT!
-Lakandula Project 4 QC (fire under control)
-WAWA St. / Tangos Navotas

FR: Ass'n of Phil. Volunteer Fire Brigade & Cafe Mezzanine

ayos diba? galing ng pinoy!

read some FIRE SAFETY TIPS here and let's make EVERYDAY a FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

my top 8 pinoy street food choices

1. kwek kwek or tokneneng - ung maliliit na itlog ng pugo na may balot na kulay orange. kahit apat lang nito busog na ko. minsan ung penoy din or nilagang itlog ung nasa loob.

2. betamax - dugo ito ng manok na pinatigas. sarap nito lalo kapag manamis-namis ang suka.

3. isaw - intestine ng chicken. kawawang manok, lahat ng parte ng katawan pinagnasaan na. sarap kasi e!

4. pork barbeque - basta malambot at masarap ang timpla, aprub!

5. fish ball - magmula noon hanggang ngayon, fish ball pa rin panawid gutom.

6. manggang hilaw with bagoong - minsan nilalagyan ko pa ng asin para mas masarap.

7. calamares - pusit na may malutong na balot ng harina. amoy pa lang, nakakapanglaway na.

8. SCRAMBLE - capital letters kasi paborito ko 'to e! ito yung ginadgad na yelo tapos may color pink na food color, minsan nilalagyan ng powdered milk sa ibabaw or your choice of chocolate or strawberry syrup. matamis sya. hanggang ngayon, adik pa rin ako dito.

mas marami pang street food in the philippines with picture HERE.

maraming nagsasabi, dirty daw ang mga street foods. siguro hindi naman lahat kasi niluluto naman yun. at siguro yung sawsawan or "sows" ang madumi, kasi hindi naiiwasan minsan sawsaw ng sawsaw ung iba kahit naisubo na pala ung sinasawsaw.

ung mga street food ng mga chinese nauuso na rin dito sa philippines ngayon lalo na sa mga loob ng mall. example: hongkong style noodles, siomai sa siomai house, crispy siomai at shark's fin siomai sa pot dog, at kung anu-ano pang naiisip na pauso ng mga business-minded filipinos.

pero masaya kumain ng street food lalo na kapag kasama mo ay mga cowboy din at hindi maseselan ang tyan. lahat yata ng pilipino naranasan sa buhay nila kahit minsan na kumain ng mga yan. so ano pa nga ba, happy eating na lang!

SUPER PINAS

kahit na marami ang nagsasabi sa tibi, jaryo, rajo at kung saan-saan pa na wala nang pag-asang umunlad ang bansa ko, i don't bilib it! at hindi ko na kailangan makipag-debate tungkol dyan lalo na sa usaping politikal dahil may gash, wala rin naman mangyayari e.
