hushi22 @hushi22 (4928) 10 Aug 10

I remember my friends complaining to me that Philippines have so many holidays and it affect their jobs and even those who came here to study. They say it's not worth their money because every holiday is no class and no work.

eichs1 If they are foreign students, they have good reason to complain. The holidays don't contribute to the reason they are here specially if they are paying for their studies and they are taking these for a limited time. If that is the case, then they should take...

eichs1 The show did not get my full attention last night because I was busy repairing my computer. But I think the only reason they gave for iced tea is because of its high caffeine content. If that's the case, then coffee and all its derivatives should be included...

eichs1 I don't think being underpaid means you are not important. The government, and the whole country for that matter, wanted the best nurses, doctors, engineers, teachers, etc... to stay here and improve our lot but it simply can't afford to do so. That's one of...

jamed28 @jamed28 (1903) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

I tried withdrawing my money from Paypal to my BDO account. I used the Bank Code that Paypal provided me, and after 5 days, I'd got my money at BDO. But there is a PHP200.00 difference. I'd read something about this PHP200.00...

eichs1 The Php 200 is the bank's processing or transaction fee on top of (or in addition to) the Php 50 Paypal charge when you withdraw an amount less than Php 7,000. Different banks have different processing fees (Php 50 to Php 250) but some have don't have this...

eichs1 That's an ugly list just like a magazine's sexiest women of the world that contains only Filipina celebrities. What is beautiful to some maybe ugly to others and vice versa. Pokwang may get offended. She cried when Joey de Leon called her aswang. But...

LetranKnight25 @LetranKnight25 (33121) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

Well, something you don't really hear every day. The Carnapper was shot and supposed to be brought to hospital for medication attention. although the mother of a deceased Ivan Sevilla kinda blame the cops for either foul play...

eichs1 We understand your sentiment @salonga. I for one want him dead rather than having him in prison where he will be added as burden to the taxpayers. But, if we allow such things to happen, what will be the use of our justice system? Will we just let our police...

totallyundecided @totallyundecided (3190) • Philippines 4 Aug 10

I was kind of surprised when I saw it aired last night on the news. 63k php. Then I thought of GMA and the previous presidents. I know they are getting a lot from corruption but I know PNoy is up to something. He's also...

eichs1 You mean he's up to making him more likable than the previous president? He don't have to do that. Even without that paycheck, his approval rating have soared. And I think he don't have the charisma of Erap or Marcos or his father but he is much more likable...

Ellen DeGeneres Leaving Idol?

vjenkins86 @vjenkins86 (1478) • United States 29 Jul 10

Rumor has it that Ellen will also be leaving Idol this season, meaning the producers have to not only look for a new judge but also decide if they want to stick to 4 or go back to 3 judges. I would hate to be in the producers...

eichs1 I'm a regular viewer of the show and I will surely miss Ellen if she leaves. But I really don't think it will affect the show. I am always looking forward to a new season primarily to hear the new contestants but not much on what the judges has to say.

Are you offended when you are asked about your age?

Bebs08 @Bebs08 (10681) • United States 29 Jul 10

eichs1 Based on your story, it seems you look younger than your age. So you should not be offended when someone asks about your age. I do heard though that most of the ladies do feel offended in such concern. In contrast, gents don't mind telling their true age.

jamed28 @jamed28 (1903) • Philippines 26 Jul 10

Well as far as the Filipinos are concern, what Pres. Noynoy said yesterday on his first State of the Nation Address, were truly mind blowing. Those expose on GMA's project were truly disappointing. Let us just hope and pray that...
