The House Of Puroy Enterprises

We’ve seen the news on TV (for those who were lucky to have electricity), we’ve seen it on the net and read a lot of blog post about it.

I’m sure many who were spared from the wrath of Onyo, and our kababayans who are outside the country would like to send help to the victims of typhoon Onyo.

Here’s a list of how we can send our help:

Just when I thought that I would have peace of mind because I am not receiving and text adverts for quite a while now, nor do my cell phone credits mysteriously disappear… I received a text from Globe which says that I could get 15 free text credits if I would be able to load a total amount of P340 for the month of September.

What?! 15 for P340?!

Honestly, I could accumulate that amount from my monthly load without a problem, but to equate 15 free texts for such an amount… should I be thankful?

Last Saturday, after attending iBlog5, my friend Zorlone was kind enough to drop me off in Monumento so I can conveniently ride the bus at the Victory Liner terminal.

As I went towards the cashier to get my ticket, I noticed a sign on the cashier’s window which says something like “paying for insurance is voluntary” and I remembered that Victory Liner charge their passengers for insurance when you pay for your fare at the terminal.

Since I haven’t been travelling for quite a long time, I asked the cashier how much is the fare up to Dau, where I would get off (the bus I’m riding will be going to Dagupan), to which she answered P122.00, so I gave her P125.

She gave me my P3 change and two tickets… wait! Two tickets?!

I just received this message in my e-mail, and I must admit it made me nervous. I almost clicked the link in the message… but then I remembered, it could just be another phishing attempt.

This couldn’t come at a more appropriate time, an increased in benefits of PhiliHealth members. Come April 5, 2009, members will enjoy a 35% increased in benefits, in almost all possible benefits a member can avail of.

Although, reading from the PIA website, the motivation for 35% increase for members is President Arroyo’s birthday (sounds political, if you ask me). Anyway, for whatever reason as long as we, members, get to avail of these benefits without hassle and prejudice.

Not that he has special skills, talents or an extra-ordinary qualification, but Arthur Principe, 35, deaf-mute, being hired by country’s highest court sets a milestone not only for himself, but also for the whole country, and sends a message that they can work side and co-exist with other people.

Supreme Court hiring it’s first deaf-mute employee in the person of Arthur Principe, I believe should be congratulated. For they have set a precedent that others can emulate - and should emulate!

We’ve been hearing talks and advocacies left and right, about giving our ‘handicapped’ brothers equal opportunity in our society. Yet few really follow and practice such advocacy.

First, it was Claudio Teehankee, Jr., then the first batch of suspects in the Aquino-Galman double murder case, and just recently the final batch of 10 suspected convicts for the Aquino-Galman case… now it’s former congressman and convicted rapist Romeo Jalosjos who will be freed!

By Thursday, Jalosjos will be free man. Thanks to the release order signed by Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) director Oscar Calderon.

Where is the country’s justice going to?

Calderon to the Department of Justice (DOJ) Jalosjos’ request for the colonist status. Lo and behold, it was approved!
