Fortunately there is still a hurdle for this Agreement to push through, and I applaud Senator Cayetano on her recent statements regarding JPEPA. Here is the entire Press Release from the Senate.

Cayetano: JPEPA to face rough sailing in the Senate
tags: JPEPA
In the past weeks there have been clamor for a better transparency on Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA), the agreement between the Japanese and Philippine Government. Despite coverage, we still would like to revisit this important agreement and why it needs the close scrutiny of the Filipino people as well as the public and […]

Another Great view from one of my favorite photographers.
What is it, you ask? It’s an overhead photo from 30,000 feet overlooking Fish pond upon Fish pond in Laguna de Bay, Manila, Philippines.
“The Mosaic heralds man’s attempt to feed itself”
A growing population such as The Philippines has many needs. One is […]
In a previous article, I stated that the Philippine Call Center Industry was booming, and in a recent article by IHT, this is indeed being confirmed. I honestly think that of all asian countries, we still have the best command of the english language. We pronounce english so much better than other countries […]
If I were to ever cry in my life, I think this is one of those moments when I should have cried (but I didn’t). I am such a proud Filipino, and to see, probably one of the greatest fighters in my lifetime.. the pride of the Philippines, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao totally beat up […]
Why is it that some individuals think that just because a criminal is Rich, lives in upper Manhattan, has a beach house in Maui, and drives a Porsche, that these individuals aren’t really criminals.
What exactly am I talking about? Well, I just read an article that glorifies the high society life of Imelda Marcos. […]
The Philippine Call Center Industry has seen a boom. In fact, many college graduates gravitate towards this job opportunity because of flexible schedule (although many are at night) and better pay as compared to many entry level jobs out there.
So, I thought I would bring up this medical condition, which I feel may be […]

Birthdays, Fiestas, Noche Buena, Media Noche, Reunions, Parties, etc.
What do all these things have in common… More than likely, you’re going to have Lechon (Roasted Pig) served.
Here’s a nice picture showing already cooked roasted pig.
I myself have always liked the smaller lechons, they always seem more tasty to me. Some lechon […]
Is it just me, or is Friendster Vs. Myspace starting to look like a battle between East and West.
A lot of people I know here in The U.S have Myspace, almost none have a Friendster account. In fact, the social network that I still use to connect with friends in The Philippines is […]
In an article last October, Lyon, France, It was reported that there was a plant that actually ate a mouse. Obviously it’s a carnivorous plant, but the most amazing factoid relating to this article? The plant is native of The Philippines. The article goes on to say,
Botanists discovered a […]
If you think that the new Secretary of Defense for The United States, Robert Gates, isn’t really a factor in The Philippines, then you may want to reconsider. The newly appointed Secretary who replaced Donald Rumsfeld a little over a week ago is a big believer in Cyberterrorism. In a Counterterrorism conference back […]
The Philippines is sometimes referred to as the texting capital of The World and It seems that almost every Filipino has a cellular phone.
Within these phones are hundreds of names and numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones?
Let […]
This is an email forwarded to me the other day. I’m not really good at translating tagalog so if anyone is any good at translating, plese forward to me the translation. I think the translation of this title is “A prostitute’s story” or “A story of one Prostitute”
It was pretty controversial when I […]
I think that some Filipinos do not see the big effect that Overseas Filipino Workers have on The Philippines. I mean, individually we may think that it’s great for their families or the OFWs themselves. But, our biggest investors are becoming our very own kababayans. That makes me happy a bit. […]
In a statement by the President regarding the Arrest of alleged coup plotter and former Senator Gringo Honasan, she personally commended “the operatives who worked” on the case. She states further that she hopes that “there will be no more destablizing our democracy and our economy.”
A very strong statement from a president […]
I’m not a vain type of person, and I’ve always thought I would age gracefully. But, what if I’m already in that situation, would I make the same decision? Nowadays, numerous individuals are undergoing plastic surgery. Even our most famous surgeon here in The Philippines, has made a great business for […]
