New_Guy Yes. If I may be so bold to say that. Our annual Flower Festival here in Baguio is one proof of that. Everything revolves around money, dance contest, promotional ads and even one time, politics. If we really want to help, then educating our youth would be a...

Imported Meat products threatens local meat dealers

mimiang @mimiang (3760) • Philippines 14 Aug 10

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 Cheaper by how much? A little bit of competition wouldn't hurt the market IMO. Levels the playing field.

We Are Just Unlucky To Be Poor

Daddy Neil @neildc (17239) • Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines 12 Aug 10

For almost a month now of trying to get help for the surgery, we have already collected almost 20% of the total estimated cost. Still too far from it. But we are very hopeful to get at least 40 to 50 percent by next week, so that...

New_Guy Have you tried GMA 7? They might help. Try SSS loans if you are a member.

What to do with my house help?

jonnifc @jonnifc (1017) • Philippines 12 Aug 10

We have a house help and she is planning to resign after only 3 months of service. She is from Masbate so we paid for her fare going to Manila. The house help of my neighbor, who is my house help's aunt, is the one who got her for...

New_Guy Well If I were you I'd go ahead and deduct the fare. It was you after all who paid for that. Now, if she decides to extend for another 3 months then you could deduct say, PHP400/pay, that would be lot easier on her.

1,000 Pesos Per Pack of Cigarettes

Incintosh @Incintosh (57) • Philippines 12 Aug 10

Hello guys, are we agree or disagree to Senator Edgardo Angara who passed a bill that every pack of cigarettes here in Philippines will be sold for 1,000 pesos? This was also supported by Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero. If this...

New_Guy Isn't that a bit excessive? I just hope he has a plan to address our Tobacco farmers.

Do you still put your right hand on your chest while singing our Nat`l Anthem?

totallyundecided @totallyundecided (3190) • Philippines 12 Aug 10

This morning, I was asked by my cousin who worked abroad to get her Transcripts of Records from her school. I did. So I did not sleep and went straight to their school. Their university happens to be one of the biggest here in...

New_Guy I still do and still stop when our national anthem is being sang. Here in Baguio, at SM cinema, if you are caught sitting while LH is being aired, guards would point a flash of light on you.

do you agree that filipinos love videoke singing??

genevy04 @genevy04 (793) • Philippines 12 Aug 10

One thing I notice about Filipinos is that they are really fond of singing, and I mean they DO LOve SINGING. Most of us really have our own little talent when it comes to music. That's why I guess many Filipinos win...

22 responses

New_Guy Yes, I agree, but let's face it, not all of us can sing. And love alone for singing doesn't warrant them to suddenly break into a vocal spectacle like those in Glee. I wouldn't mind if they have the voice to boot. Have you ever sat next to someone with huge...

New_Guy Iced Tea? The powdered ones? Tea is a diuretic, how is it bad for the kidney? Anyway, I guess the trick here is to eat these foods in moderation. Or avoid it completely. If I crave for street foods and wanted a quick fix, I buy at the grocery store and cook it...

Fluent in English with right grammar equivalent to intelligence?

Metatronik @Metatronik (6199) • Pasay, Philippines 7 Aug 10

Do you believe that being fluent with grammatically correct in English language can be equivalent to intelligence or being smart? Do you also have a good impression for those people who speaks in English that can use high fa-luted...

New_Guy Come to think of it, for countries where English is not a vernacular, it does give you the impression. However, if you want to reach a wider audience then I suggest you keep it simple. Being able to converse in English effectively and getting your point...

I hate rellenong Bangus

Metatronik @Metatronik (6199) • Pasay, Philippines 7 Aug 10

I really like eating that before but when I've learned how to cook it I just hate it already because it is deep fried and yet time consuming to work on it. I just started to avoid cooking like this because it is deep fried, I mean...

New_Guy I like it a lot if done right. But it seems that the process in preparing that food is tedious I guess I'm going to say that, "I just like eating it." :) Have someone do it or buy. I guess it is ok to eat deep fried foods from time to time. As long as you...

Internet reveals your identity

nayaz1625 @nayaz1625 (131) • Mauritius 7 Aug 10

New_Guy What sort of activity do you engage in that warrants such intimacy? :) You can always use a proxy if you want to remain anonymous while surfing. Other than that then don't join social networking sites. Even Facebook has written warnings to be careful with what...

New_Guy There is something about her demeanor that I like. She doesn't strike me as a snob unlike some stars. "Pang-masa."

New_Guy When I venture down to the province I use Smart Bro. Although I'm limited to just a GPRS connection. There is a Globe cell site near the place but connection speed is still the same with Smart Bro. Here at home I'm using PLDT MyDSL. I guess it all depends on...

New_Guy I prefer GMA 7 over ABS-CBN when it comes to news reports. Although the media tends to sensationalize on every stuff I find the latter biased. I still remember Ces Drilon labeling the landslide here in our place "killing fields" which for lack of a better term...

Inhumane death of dogs

Gorillafootprints925 @Gorillafootprints925 (3586) • United States 3 Aug 10

I just heard this from Ramon Bautista on their radio show. It happens in North Cotabato, when the dog pound is full they dispose some of the dogs. They do it by putting the about ten dogs at a time in cage about 1 meter in length...

New_Guy What I think people should do is start being responsible pet owners. Get them neutered/spayed to stop them from breeding. If only some Vets would give back to the community. Maybe it wouldn't hurt if they do it once a year for free. But of course only to those...
