Why Avida is a staunch advocate of OPM

ORIGINAL PILIPINO MUSIC (OPM) is the soundtrack of our lives. That’s something many Filipinos easily take for granted—but just think: what better way to feel hope and inspiration than to hear “Umagang Kay Ganda” in the morning? How could we express romantic love if we didn’t have “Harana”?

Fire Hits Laperal Again!

Early this morning (Tuesday), Makati was alarmed by news of fire in Laperal, Guadalupe Viejo.  Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) tweeted that there is a Task Force Alpha fire in  Viejo at around 12:21 pm. At 12:40 pm, the blaze reached the general alarm, taking every help that they need from all the firefighters in the neighboring community. Third tweet was informing the vehicles that the southbound lane is not passable. By 2:15 pm, MMDA announced that the situation is under control.

Reports say that because houses were made of light wooden materials, the fire heightened quickly. Mayor Jun Jun Binay however made a way to help the residents by sending out tents. Also, MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino said that some of the families will be transferred to a gymnasium to shelter the affected families.

Reports are still ongoing on what caused the fire.

Help Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Victims: Bloggers Unite

 

I have just read another opportunity that PostNjoy had opened to all bloggers. It's focus is to help Japan earthquake and tsunami victims get back to their feet. I opened my blog account and hit on the new post tab to start on my entry.

SIGNS OF THE END TIMES?

Everyone was really shocked for what happened in Japan yesterday. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake triggered the tsunami that literally ate the whole town. I was so horrified I immediately pick up the phone and called my dear grandma to know if our 2 loved ones in the country are safe. Unfortunately the lines were cut and even she couldn't connect to Japan. I was praying real hard at that time as I was watching the breaking news. Worried for my aunts and worried for the tsunami alert here in the Philippines.

At around 5 pm my Tito called and assured me that the aunts are safe experiencing half of the quake's aftermath. Thank God!

Browsing the facebook, I saw most of the friend's status message saying that Bossing [God] is coming!  The things that we are experiencing now are the signs of the end times. Christians arise. Wake up! There is a vast harvest, God needs workers!

Fare Increase AGAIN?!

I remember when I was in high school, the jeepney fare costs only Php 2.00. Then it went to Php 2.50, rising up to Php 4.00. Jeepney drivers still went for strike to increase it to Php 7.00. Commuters were surprised so they made adjustments for the students and senior citizens, giving them Php 1.00 off from the original charge. I think it was last year or two years ago when they again increased it to Php 7.50 but they withdrew it after the oil price was stabled.

And now, I don't understand why they have to level it up again to another peso. I just exclaimed, "FARE INCREASE AGAIN?!" I hope when they do this, corporations and government agencies would also increase the wages of their employees.  Don't they know that it's really hard for us to budget these days. Even to the last cent, everything is planned.

Ayoko na! bababa na ko, MAMA PARA!
