Health is wealth. We use to often hear that saying. The phrase actually means that if you have good health you are wealthy, for the true measure of wealth is not only money. But could this saying have a different meaning? What if the saying has a literal meaning for some people? Well, in the Philippines for some it really does. Today the market is saturated with so called “Herbal food supplements” and savvy business people are catching on to this herbal food supplements food craze. I have nothing against herbal food supplements. In fact I take several of them myself everyday. Some of them are even highly recommended by good and reputable doctors. What I am against is the marketing of this product as a “cure all.” While it is true that some herbal food supplements are very effective against certain diseases, the fact that the Philippines’ bureau of food and drugs has only labeled these products as “food supplements” they should only be marketed as such. What is worse is … [Read more...]
Is Jun Lozada really helping the country?
The name Jun Lozada is unheard of months ago. Nobody knew who he was until recently he became the “star witness” of the ZTE-NBN broadband scandal. For those of you who do not know what the ZTE-NBN broadband deal is, this deal is made between the Philippine government and the People's Republic of China through a Chinese government entity named ZTE. The project had a good intention which is to link government offices and establishments all over the country in order to improve the delivery of services to the common Filipino. Its educational application could also do wonders for our waning educational. The deal was formally scrapped by the president due to rumors that people who were involved in this deal made money out of it.. The key witness in this controversy is a man by the name of Jun Lozada. Jun Lozada does not claim to be a saint. He said this himself and I totally admire his “humility” in telling people that he is just a sinner like you and me. His message is that he is a … [Read more...]
Jun Lozada
Jun Lozada – Hero or Hypocrite? In my Business and economic forecast for 2008, I initially predicted that there will be no huge political mudslinging that will have an impact in the economy. I was wrong. The Philippines is at it again! Calls for the President to step down have once again gained momentum on charges of alleged corruption as a result of the ZTE-NBN broadband deal. However in my opinion I don’t think this will succeed for several reasons. I will tackle that in another post. Since the start of the ZTE-NBN broadband deal controversy the name “Jun Lozada” has become so popular. In fact most webmasters and bloggers, would probably start exploiting the key word “Jun Lozada” right now considering that it is a high-trend, low-dense keyword. For those of you who do not know what a “high-trend but low-dense keyword,” by high trend we mean that a search for a certain keyword has been searched by a lot of people. You can know this if you go to google.com/trends. Type the … [Read more...]
Abalos burjer
Former Commission on Elections (Philippines) chairman Benjamin Abalos has been criticized by Filipinos worldwide for mispronouncing the word "hamburger." Instead of pronouncing the "g" as in go, goat, or goal, he pronounced it as "j" as in jar, jam, jug. In short he said "hamburjer." The video of Abalos mispronouncing the word "hamburger" is uploaded at yotube, yutube, utube, youtobe, youtube and has gained a certain degree of popularity, that I think Abalos should think about making it a tag line in his campaign and have the word "Abalos Hamburjer for _" printed in t-shirts, and other campaign materials. This way perhaps people will be quickly remember him:-) This reminds me of the movie Pink Panther, where Steve Martin played a French police inspector, Inspector Clouseau. In this short youtube video clip, Steve Martin was trying to pronounce the sentence "I would like to buy a hamburger." If you haven't seen the movie, watch the clip and you will find yourself laughing … [Read more...]
