Philippine Juicy Fruits
July 30, 2008
These four young, talented, bright and beautiful ladies are excellent singers who could also dance to the hilt was so lucky to have been discovered by Sister Bella Dimayuga. Their future in the entertainment industry is not only secured, but their well-being as a complete person, a Christian and their moral uprightness is assured as well. With them, the Philippines can be assured of ripping more honors abroad from these singing and dancing divas. They will be introduced fully into the entertainment industry here and ultimately, abroad: in the U.S. and all over the world !
Sister Bella, the President of the then world renowned Bellestar Promotions told us that she has something big in store for these young, beautiful and talented ladies in the United States where she now promotes our country and kababayans. It’s one thing we admire of this lady, she has a big heart not minding spending money to take care of her fellow Filipinos, developing their talents, nurturing their well-being, then sending them abroad for a brighter future is not an easy task.

It’s Been A Year Since My Brother Passed Away
July 27, 2008
July 24, 2008 marked the day when my brother, Nichi, celebrated his first year in heaven.
He lost his 6-year battle with leukemia but he won himself a special spot in heaven.
I wish to thank Pinoyblogosphere and every one who sent their prayers and support when we needed help so badly last year and I think even the year before that, when Nichi’s fight was at its toughest. Nichi didn’t get that bone marrow transplant he needed but the little money I was able to raise made a lot of kids like Nichi happy last Christmas.
To end, I am posting my dad’s thank-you letter for everyone who’d been there for:
Our dear friends,
This Thursday, July 24, will be a year since our Nichi left us to join the angels in heaven. You all have been part of his life and our family’s life. Allow us to thank you again for all the things you have done for Nichi and for being there when we felt we were alone.
May the God Almighty Bless you and your family and keep you all in good
health.Always,
willie, tess, windale, warren, tyrene, jowin, migs & yzee

A Call to Action – BLOGSWARM Towards Maritime Safety
July 10, 2008
Join the BLOGSWARM Towards Maritime Safety to create awareness on the state of Maritime travel in the Philippines. The poor sector are affected the most and exploited by greedy shipping line owners made worse by corruption. There is a need for bloggers to come together to improve the situation on the following:
- The Philippines being composed of 7,107 islands maritime is the major form of transportation of the majority of the poor people.
- The industry is poorly regulated with so many agencies involved but lacking in equipment necessary to make maritime voyage safe and secure.
- Poorly managed shipping lines and poor regulation by so many government agencies.
- Poor record keeping by the shipping lines such as passenger manifest, overcrowding, inadequate life saving equipment and carrying toxic material cargoes in passenger vessels sacrificing passenger safety over profitability.
- Poorly funded infrastructure such as lighthouses, global positioning devices and distress signal system, rescue vessels for immediate response.
- Lack of political will to comply with International Maritime Organization safety and liability standards. Not as single maritime casualty investigation report has been submitted to the organization despite having a Filipino elected as secretary general as mandated under the terms of its membership.
- Passengers and ships are poorly insured lacking P&I coverage due to the ships poor condition.
