Cleaning up Estero de Paco
It is pretty apparent that lately, private institutions have been pushing efforts to clean up and rebuild important centers of trade and places in the Philippines, which can still be put into use. There have been projects in order to make these points, once again, a place for interaction and a new haven for business and recreation.
One of the recent efforts is the cleaning up of Estero de Paco. If you have also noticed, the Estero de Paco clean-up prompted the rebuilding of Paco Market. Gina Lopez lead her foundation in making the Estero de Paco more pleasing to the eyes. You can see huge improvements the picture below.
In partnership with ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc., Gina Lopez also initiated the campaign for the rehabilitation of the Ilog Pasig (Pasig River), near the Malacanan Palace through the project, Kapit Bisig para sa Ilog Pasig. The recent 10-10-10 fund run was held in benefit of the said cause.
I hope that the men and women behind the Estero de Paco clean-up and Paco Market revival will hopefully initiate more campaigns and fund raising drives to make other potential centers look better and give more opportunities for these points that have not been receiving action from the government lately, to be developed.
This would find to be beneficial for me if ever, if I can find a convenient place in Pasig or at Paco where I can go. Health risks will also be lesser when these former trash capitols were cleaned and maintained properly.
Also, the Estero de Paco is connected to Manila Bay, Laguna Bay and the Pasig River, main gateways of transport in Metro Manila, thus, the need for improvement and put into better functionality. As an engineer, transport systems are very important in our businesses. Efficiency is one very important thing and if we can make use of these places once again, and find venues on how to use them effectively, it will be a great advantage in our income generation, livelihood and many more.
Greek Financial Crisis
Wow! Just yesterday, a small fallback for the price of gold has been observed. This might probably be due to the Greek finances causing the price of gold to decline. This means that even if gold are normally taken to as a secured investment, many investors are risking their assets less due to the Greek financial crisis. I remember people who were telling me to buy gold coins in the past and they really told me gold is such a great investment.
Naturally, gold and the dollar relationship is adverse. This means that when dollar increases, gold declines. However, this Greek debt situation is creating a huge impact and is worsening by the day. Many investors are hesitating to risk because of this matter. If you don’t know yet, Greece had a really huge amount of money they owe and it seems like they would not be able to pay their financial accountability. This is the primary reason why the dollars has been increasing the past few days and a decline in the euro can be observed. Though on the brighter side of things, unlike oil and metals like palladium, gold still holds up well.
Traditionally, it is proven that gold’s value is preserved even when the national currency is declining. Normally, your money is secured in gold due to the fact that it is something physical and tangible but you can not easily dispose it. However, like the previous years, gold is expected to go back in the stocks game.
Manny Villar in Kandidato Interview
This is the April 28 episode of Kandidato, television’s toughest job interview, Nacionalista Party presidential bet Senator Manny Villar gets grilled by Arnold Clavio, Howie Severino, and Malou Mangahas on the topics surrounding his candidacy.
These are my reactions regarding the Manny Villar Kandidato Job Interview.
On Personality
What I like with Villar is his consistency. His answer on which Philippine hero does he idolize is Andres Bonifacio, who like him, came from the poor, worked hard and is very brave. He has also shown me how great of a father and a family man he is – he brought his kids well, he said his happiest times are being with his family and children especially when they are all together celebrating New Year and Christmas.

Helen Henson Will Represent Philippines in Miss Universe 2010; Maria Venus Raj Dethroned
Fret no more, pageant fans!
After the Bb. Pilipinas 2010 Grand Pageant Night was held, a lot of people were not satisfied with the results most especially because of the inclusion of Katherine Gatbonton in the top three crowns, and the biggest shocker of the evening was the snobbing of the front-runner Helen Nicolette Henson to be one of the three titleholders. Helen Henson was expected to get the Bb. Pilipinas-World 2010 title along with Maria Venus Raj who won the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2010 title and Krista Arrieta Kleiner who won the Bb. Pilipinas-International 2010 title.
