3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money. The cause of the traffic mess is the people themselves so it's only right that those causing the traffic problem should be fined and the fine should hurt. That way, the fines will pay for the cost of enforcing the law. The fines should start at P500 and goes up every week if you don't pay it within 15 days. To enforce this and prevent people from ignoring the fine. It will be tied to their driver's license or car registr...

Tupas admits meeting PSBank branch manager when he was 15

From the Inquirer . After some hemming and hawing, Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas Jr. on Wednesday finally confirmed he and a Philippine Savings Bank branch manager, Anabelle Tiongson, had met before. In a phone interview over Radyo Inquirer prompted by a photograph that appeared in the social network Facebook on Monday, Tupas confirmed he and Tiongson met at a wedding held 25 years ago. In the picture, a man wearing a barong Tagalog—identified as Tupas—and a woman in an off-shoulder gown— supposedly Tiongson—are shown flanking a young, newlywed couple. Asked if he had seen the picture, Tupas said in Filipino: “It was shown to me yesterday, so I remembered. I was 15, that was 25 years ago.” He maintained, however, he did not know that Tiongson was the same woman who was in the photo with him as part of a wedding entourage. “You don’t really get to know the other people in such occasions,” he said. The head of the prosecution panel in the impeachment trial of Chief Just...

FHM magazine apologizes over ‘racist’ cover

Image
From the Inquirer . MANILA, Philippines—A Philippine men’s magazine has apologized and pulled its cover after critics described it as racist. FHM Philippines said Monday it has decided to change the cover of its March issue which showed fair-skinned actress Bela Padilla in a hot pink bikini flanked by dark-skinned women in black bikinis. The caption said, “Bela Padilla stepping out of the shadows.” Padilla, a soap opera star, has a Filipino mother and a British father. The magazine said after uploading the issue on its Facebook page it received a slew of complaints that the cover was racist. FHM apologized and said it will use a different cover when the magazine hits newsstands in March. It said it will strive to be more sensitive in the future. Photo from noypitayo.com What else is new? Filipinos always favor light skin more than their own natural "Kayumanggi" color.

Apple sends out invitations for March 7 iPad event in San Francisco

Image
From Appleinsider . Apple on Tuesday sent out official invitations for a media event to be held next Wednesday, March 7, in San Francisco where it is expected to introduce its next-generation iPad. The March 7 event will be held at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Calif., the same place the last two iPad unveilings have been held. The invitation features a finger pushing down on an iOS calendar icon with March 7 as the date. "We have something you really have to see. And touch," the invitation reads. The inclusion that people will "have to see" the new device is likely a reference to the high-resolution Retina Display that Apple is expected to add to its next-generation iPad. Rumors have suggested the display will have a resolution of 2,048 by 1,536 pixels, which would be twice the resolution of the 1,024-by-768 screen found on the iPad 2. In fact, the invitation itself could even be a pic...

Tiongson and Tupas Wedding Sponsors

Image
From ABS-CBN News . MANILA, Philippines - House chief prosecutor Niel Tupas Jr. on Wednesday denied rumors that he has multimillion-peso accounts in Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank). Text messages circulated on Wednesday said Tupas has a P158-million time deposit, a P36-million savings account and a P5.22-million current account at PSBank Katipunan branch. PSBank Katipunan is the same branch where Chief Justice Renato Corona had P19 million in savings as of December 2010, according to bank records. Tupas said efforts to link him to PSBank Katipunan and its manager, Annabel Tiongson, insinuate that he was able to procure bank documents for Corona's impeachment trial. He denied ever setting foot at PSBank Katipunan or meeting Tiongson. "Wala po akong bank account sa PSBank," he said. "I have never met Tiongson until she appeared on the witness stand." Sen Jinggoy Estrada, however, said he does not believe that Tiongson and Tupas do not know each othe...

OFW families should always think of the day remittances will stop coming--Suze Orman

MANILA, Philippines -- Families of overseas Filipino workers must always prepare for the day that remittances from their loved ones would stop coming so they can better manage their finances, international personal finance advisor Suze Orman said. Orman, who hosts her own show on CNBC and is a favorite resource person at Oprah, said that families who are dependent on remittances must always think that the money will not flow forever because their loved ones can lose their jobs abroad, can get sick, if not die. “Anything can happen at any time and the problem that is going on out there [abroad] when one person from over there stops sending money in here, you’ve not only affected one person there but also four, five or six people over here. Then that starts the very dangerous possibility of things going wrong,” Orman said during a briefing on Monday hosted by the Bank of the Philippine Islands. OFW-dependent families have to understand where that money comes from in order for them ...

De Lima bats for review of Anti-Hazing Law

From the Manila Standard Today . JUSTICE Secretary Leila de Lima wants a review of the country’s anti-hazing law following the death of a law freshman of the San Beda College of Law allegedly at the hands of her fraternity brothers in Lambda Rho Beta during during initiation rites. De Lima said that despite the law, fraternity hazing is still practiced, often with fatal consequences as with the tragic death of 25-year-old Marvin Reglos who was subjected to hazing during initiation rites of Lambda Rho Beta fraternity based in San Beda College. De Lima founded the Lambda Rho Sigma sorority of San Beda College, the counterpart of Lambda Rho Beta. Reglos’ death also came after the Supreme Court handed down its ruling on the case of Lenny Villa, an Ateneo Law School student who died in February 1991 during initiation rites conducted by members of the Aquila Legis fraternity. “It’s very unfortunate. Have we not learned our lessons from those past tragedies? There is a need to take ...

Bongbong Marcos On EDSA Anniversary

I read this on Bongbong Marcos' Facebook page. No matter your political leanings, I think it's a good read. In response to several queries (it’s that time of the year -- EDSA anniversary) on my take on the declaration of Martial Law and the events that took place in February of 1986, there is really nothing more I can add to what I’ve already said over the last two decades; and what happened in the past cannot be changed. But just to reiterate my view of that period of our history, and for the sake of those too young or yet to be born in the early 70’s, let me try and summarize how I see it. Martial Law was declared at a time different from now and I say this not only in regard to the Philippines but throughout the world including in western democracies where the youth of those nations rebelled against the established norms of that era. In the United States, armed clashes between civilians and police were frequent and groups such as the Black Panthers, The Weathermen, Studen...

Carmelo Anthony is back in the Knicks' lineup in their game last night against the Nets. Jeremy Lin finished with 21 points, 9 Assists & a career high 7 rebounds.

Carmelo Anthony Talks Jeremy Lin Linsanity

Image
Jeremy Lin got his big break when Carmelo Anthony got injured in the Knicks game against the New Jersey Nets. Since Jeremy Lin started playing, the Knicks are 8 and 1 compared to when Carmelo was playing. Carmelo Anthony is scheduled to return to playing tonight and marks the first time Jeremy Lin will be playing with Carmelo Anthony. The big question on everyone's mind is, how well will Carmelo blend in with the style of play the Knicks are playing right now. Carmelo is well known as a one-on-one playing and a ball hog which bogs down the offense compared to the moving and running style of play Jeremy Lin brings to the Knicks and also the style of coaching of Mike D'Antoni. In this interview, Stephen A. Smith talks to Carmelo Anthony about Linsanity.

ESPN fires writer over racial headline about Jeremy Lin

ESPN apologized for inappropriate references to New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin, and said it fired an employee responsible for such headline. The phrase “chink in the armor’’ appeared Sunday morning on ESPN following the Knicks’ 89-85 loss to the New Orleans Hornets about the Taiwanese-American sensation. The sports channel also said an anchor for ESPNNews has been suspended for 30 days after using an inappropriate word in asking a question about Lin. “We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN,” ESPN said in the statement. Lin, a second-year point guard with an economics degree from Harvard University, led the Knicks to a seven-game winning streak before the loss to the Hornets. “They’ve apologized and so from my end, I don’t care anymore,” Lin said, after leading the Knicks to a 104-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Sunday afternoon.

Michael Jordan - Air time

Image
To be honest, I got interested in basketball again after watching Jeremy Lin. For the longest time, I haven't watched that much NBA since Michael Jordan retired. That was the last time I watched a lot of NBA games other than The Finals. So while browsing through some Jeremy Lin videos, I saw some old Michael Jordan videos and I came upon this video of Michael Jordan. As anyone will tell you, Michael Jordan is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). "Michael Jordan: Air Time" documents Jordan and the Chicago Bulls' 1991-92 season, including Jordan dealing with his friend and rival Magic Johnson's retirement announcement, gambling allegations, talk of the team possibly breaking the long-in-place season win record with 70 victories, filming a music video with Michael Jackson, and other obstacles throughout the course of the year. The video follows this with the "Dream Team" (Jordan and his fellow NBA stars) gaining worldwide attention as they partake and domin...

The Emergence of Jeremy Lin

Image
From NBA.com. A recap of Jeremy Lin's incredible emergence as a star for the NY Knicks. "Players playing that well don't usually come out of nowhere. It seems like they come out of nowhere, but if you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning. It probably just went unnoticed." -Kobe Bryant to Jeremy Lin after scoring 38pts on Lakers. Why did he go unnoticed ? When you take a look at his track record, he led Palo Alto High School to 32-1 record and a CIF state title over nationally ranked Mater Dei High as a senior. He was a first team All-State selection and the Northern California Division II Player of the Year among several other accolades. Then he received no athletic scholarship offers. Not even Stanford, the school right there in Palo Alto, offered him nothing. Lin got zilch, nada. What did he end up doing? Well he went on to Harvard and was a three-time All-Ivy League performer. He was named one of the country’...

Jeremy Lin finally gets a new apartment, and a place in NBA history

Jeremy Lin's long, national real estate nightmare is over. Like many young professionals working in the New York City metropolitan area, he struggled for weeks to find a suitable living space as his role with his employer was far from assured. Now that his contract option has been picked up for the rest of the season -- and, er, Lin has absolutely set the sporting world on fire with his week and a half of jaw-dropping play for the New York Knicks -- Lin has decided to move into former Knick David Lee's old apartment in the Trump Towers (not those Trump Towers) in White Plains, N.Y., near the team's practice facility. Lee still owns the apartment, and is subletting it to Lin in the same way he did with current Knicks big man Amar'e Stoudemire last year while the All-Star looked for a Manhattan apartment of his own. This lineage means that Lin is clearly the best defender to have lived between these particular walls. And true to a New York-area's tenant board, some ...

Grace Lee Sees Herself Marrying P-Noy

From Yahoo! News Philippines . The altar. That's where Grace Lee says her relationship with President Benigno Aquino III is headed. In her morning show "Good Times in the Morning" last Wednesday, the Korean-born radio and TV personality was asked by her New York-based co-anchor Mo Twister how long their relationship would last. She replied, "The full length." Needled further on where she expected their dates would lead to, Lee answered, "The altar." She added, "I'm praying for this." Aquino celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, Feb.8, the same day Lee said they were destined for the altar. The romance between the 29-year-old Lee and the 52-year-old Aquino has been met with skepticism by many who have become used to the President's short-lived romances. Among those linked to him in his almost two-year presidency are Valenzuela councilor Shalani Soledad, who recently married Pasig City Rep. Roman Romulo, stylist Liz Uy and ...

The Jeremy Lin story is real magic

From the National Post . TORONTO — Somewhere in the vast and sudden storm that has gathered around Jeremy Lin — an electrical hurricane that whipped out of a clear blue sky, so powerful that at this point nearly everybody has heard about the incredible weather out East — there is a human story, a story about luck, a story about faith, and above all, basketball. Used to be, Jeremy Lin was a footnote to just about everybody. Now, he contains multitudes. And so Tuesday, when Jeremy Lin and his New York Knicks — they are his, right now — arrived in Toronto, the storm travelled with him. It was announced he is on the cover of this week’s Sports Illustrated. At the packed morning shootaround a journalist of Taiwanese descent proffered a sheet of Year of the Dragon stamps, in honour of his birth year and 2012. Some 4,000 seats had been sold since Friday for Asian Heritage night; it was Toronto’s biggest crowd of the year, and it cheered Lin the first time he touched the ball, and every ti...

The Cinderella or Linderella story of Jeremy Lin continues. People are posting stories about Jeremy Lin all over the Internet like what it's like to play basketball with him. I even found one that showed his picture in 6th grade. Bottom right center photo. I love the story on the sixth grade where he was late for a game and came in on the 2nd half of the game with his team losing 16 to 10. When asked why he was late, he answered "violin practice". The coach threw him in the game and they went on to win by two points!

In China, an Instant Star and an Emerging Symbol

From the New York Times . HANGZHOU, China — The clearest sign that Jeremy Lin’s appeal has spanned the Pacific to mainland China may lie not in the 1.4 million Chinese microblog messages mentioning him in recent days, but in a rare failure to meet demand here in the heart of one of the world’s largest centers of pirated garment manufacturing. “His jerseys have sold out, even including the counterfeit ones,” said Zheng Xiaojun, a 24-year-old clerk here in the capital of Zhejiang province, near Shanghai. Lin’s stunning success with the Knicks over the last week and a half has captured the imagination of the Chinese, from Communist Party bosses to the often-persecuted Christian minority. He has been particularly popular here in northern Zhejiang province, from which his maternal grandmother fled to Taiwan in the last days of China’s civil war in the late 1940s. Lin is commonly described in the United States as Taiwanese-American because his parents grew up in Taiwan before moving ...

Jeremy Lin NY Knicks vs Toronto Raptors 2012 Highlights

Jeremy Lin does it again! In a game against the Toronto Raptors where the NY Knicks was trailing most of the game. Jeremy Lin came out as the hero of the game when he went to the basket and got fouled as the ball went in. Making the three point play which tied the game. In the last 18 seconds of the game, with the game tied, Jeremy Lin held on to the ball and used up the clock, finally shooting a 3 point leaving 0.5 seconds left in the game to win. Jeremy Lin finishes with 27 pts, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. Making this the 6 straight wins for the New York Knicks. Here are the highlights.

It was amazing the composure and confidence of Lin. By the way, notice that the Toronto fans initially was cheering for the Raptors a...

With a little help from Dove Men + Care Deodorant, these men got to sing their hearts out to their loved ones without so much as breaking a sweat. Scripted or not, it's very touching. I'm sure their wives would not mind it was scripted.
