anne25penn It has happened before, I will not be surprised if our news will be flooded in the next few days about the new pope and the Sabah issue will dwindle away. The government is just waiting for a news tidbit that they can exaggerate in order to cover up their...

anne25penn After EDSA, so much of the plans were shelved. But if you look closely at all the infrastructure projects going on right now, it takes those who lived in the 70's and 80's to know that it has been planned even before. It's now like double whammy on Pinoys...

anne25penn What saddens me more is that with all this politicking, it's the people who suffer the most. Thank you for your response Teo.

anne25penn When the news about Sabah came up, I wasn't surprised to see that our government response is cold with the issue. These politicians really have no regard for the lives of the people they are accountable for.

Since December I have noticed that the exchange rate of dollar to peso has gone lower. Around P2 to P4 to be exact. I felt the drop in the exchange when I had some dollars changed expecting to have a few hundred pesos extra, but...

anne25penn In terms of stocks, yes it is a good thing right now for our country. I also have some stocks and I can tell you that my money doubled in a year. Economists aren't really that happy or excited with the sudden surge because they are also warning against a...

anne25penn That is the downside of the peso strengthening against the dollar. OFW families find themselves now with lower spending power or income since the exchange has gone drastically down. Thank you for your reply.

anne25penn The peso-dollar exchange rate is strengthening, but it hasn't addressed the issue of inflation. I was also used to spend less than a hundred dollars for my groceries per month. Now, I have to spend more since prices of goods have gone up. Good thing is I'm no...

anne25penn I've decided to hold on to them because I have an out of country trip this year and it is easier to bring dollars than change peso to the local currency. Thanks for your reply.

anne25penn This peso strengthening against the dollar isn't a good thing actually, because economists say that it will not create jobs. It would rather create the opposite since foreign investors will now look at other countries where the exchange rate is much stronger....

anne25penn I wish to go there and hopefully meet these tattooed women. Yes, it is a life changing experience, having lived in Batad (which is also in the Cordilleras) where there is no cell phone signal, no radio, nothing of the modern distractions of our everyday life....

anne25penn Yes, I did see the news last night and it is kinda scary because the family had no idea that their boy was that sick. As with everybody living here in our country, you know that we will resort first to self medication rather than go to a hospital even if we...

anne25penn Thanks for your response Chiyosan. Load up on a lot of fruits and fluids and try to get as much rest as you can so that you can fight those flu symptoms. Take care!

anne25penn Good for you if you already have the flu shot. I can't due to my allergy to eggs, so my doctor ruled it out. Take care and thanks for your response.
