I saw in Saksi, the news program in channel 7 that there are cheaper meat products from Canada. I think that these should not be granted access to our market because we are not helping our local entrepreneurs. That is too bad

New_Guy I think people should be given a choice. And I agree with Gorillafootprints925, it is how you will cook it anyway. Want something tastier, then go ahead buy one, if you can't afford it settle for something less. Besides I don't think taste matters much, for...

Hello Lotters, If there's one Facility that i know that Filipino Guards are serious protecting at, is in the US embassy, even vehicles are being called away by the Security guards there. I used to think media centers had...

New_Guy They are there to serve as deterrent. For bombs, I don't think they will ever undergo such training especially with the meager pay they're getting. Unless they work for high profile companies. But then again why hire a guard when you can get an ex-military to...

New_Guy There you go. I guess it all boils down to preferences then.

There used to be a guy on a pedicab outside the school as I was growing up. He was selling scramble. The block of ice was in a styrofoam cooler and he would shave some ice, put it in a plastic cup and add a flavored milk type of...

New_Guy It is nice to indulge in reminiscence. I just had one this afternoon. Scramble. Man, I miss that choco syrup they pour on top. What is it called again, Brown Cow? Snacks are way cheaper back then.

I feel pity for PAG-ASA especially to their director, Dr. Nilo, who had been thrown out of his position in PAG-ASA. I believe that even though PAG-ASA does not give exact or accurate weather forecasts, they still try to help us...

New_Guy This too I believe is the reason why he was assigned to another department. Based on what I saw and heard on the news.

What can you say about Manny Paquiao's job on congress at the moment? I was really surprised on his comment on the privilege speech last week! And I am surprised too that no one has made any discussions about it here on mylot. Of...

New_Guy Poverty is what motivated Pacquiao to persevere and succeed. He'd been that road before so he knows and I don't think he takes things for granted judging by what he said on congress.

I simply got thirsty after eating two turon (banana roll). So I asked my daughter to buy me a small bottled water at the grocery. The Nestle, I said, that is the smallest. My daughter looked at me and said...

New_Guy Designer second hand clothes here in Baguio are not cheap, mind you. It may sell for a fraction of the original cost but some of these items would cost a thousand or more. As for the rest, less known brands, they are dirt cheap. I was able to buy an authentic...

I don't want to compare our movies to other country because I know that we had the best director here in the Philippines but one thing I always noticed about our movies is that poor special effects that looks obviously an special...

New_Guy Maybe it's because they are underpaid. If I had that skill set why would I work for less? Besides no amount of CGI special effects will save a crappy movie plot from vexing audience. And if they can't afford to have a good story what are the chances that they...

There had been an over supply of rice! And yet the rice we had been buying for the past two years had been so expensive. I purchase the one priced at Php45/kilo. I surmised it was the choice amongst the many that looks...

New_Guy saphrina, I guess that puts everything into perspective. Rice is not expensive there since not a lot of you are fond of eating it. :) Eileen, I buy Sinandomeng rice. Quality is better if bought directly from farmers. I think it retails at around PHP36.00+...

New_Guy Greed of course. I just hope that those who are responsible won't get away with it. There was this news the other day about a politician who used rice donations from Japan for his campaign. He had his face printed on all the sacks and gave it to people. He won...

New_Guy It was her choice of rice that is expensive. At PHP45/kilo (roughly $1), at least for me. :) But just like what the TS said, some of us still prefer local produce which retails at around PHP30+. Fortunately for me, we have neighbors in the province to be able...

New_Guy Divide and conquer. That's how the government deal with inconsistencies on their part. Shift the public's attention to other issues or make one. The "Prison Break" series made me aware of such devious underhanded tactics.
