Proudly Filipino

Filipinos can be famous too and be the pride of the Philippines. Manny Pacquiao, Efren "Bata" Reyes, Paeng Nepomuceno, Arnel Pineda and currently Jessica Sanchez are Filipinos who became famous and pride of Filipinos.

Despite the negative publicity of the Philippines such as government corruption, impeachment, dirty water ways, these Filipinos are the saving grace of Filipinos worldwide. The Filipinos should not only be known as "Domestic Helpers" or "Japayukis". We are talented, we are skilled, we are knowledgeable, we are Proud to be Filipinos.

Euro Crisis – Are we in Recession Again?

Greece, Italy and Spain are pulling the world economy back into recession again. Lately, the JP Morgan Chase lost billions of dollars in trading. Will there be more?

Most countries have not yet recovered from the 2008 crisis. After 4 years, another big wave will be hitting us hard again. Manufacturing companies are closing their factories, big companies are closing their mining operations. These are affecting thousands of people.

Will the world be in recession again?

French Legion in the Philippines

Did the French occupied the Philippines? I see some French Legion infantries along Roxas Boulevard.

Seriously, the new khaki uniform of MMDA Officers look like the French Legion uniforms at first glance. Or some Police Officers during the President Marcos regime. What was wrong with the old uniform?

What will be the next move of the MMDA? Issue rifles to their officers? Is the new uniform a show of force?

I don't really know, but I find the new uniforms not suitable for the job.
