internet advertising @ valtesar Hi valtesar! Thanks for featuring us on your terrific blog. But take note we are now officially known as Airphil Express, FYI. :) — PAL Express (@airphilexpress) August 19, 2011 When computer and cell phone is not so popular and electronic email and text messaging has not been introduced, trading notes is the best way  to communicate your feeling to someone you love. Tough it takes days and even months before it reaches its final destination, but the joy of receiving it by the recipient especially in remote and dangerous places is unexplainable. The same is indescribable when someone opens and reads it. Putting oneself in the shoes of those people receiving love letters is not the best thing to do. You need to experience it by yourself in order for you to understand the feeling. Trading notes or love letters always tend to be magical the spell started in the conceptualization and formation of words. Once the feeling is converted ...

I HAVE THE LEISURE TO TRAVEL TO NAIC CAVITE LAST WEEK TO MEET NEW FRIENDS AND TO DISCOVER SOMETHING ABOUT THIS LOVELY MUNICIPALITY. ACTUALLY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT I ALWAYS BEEN A KEEN OBSERVER. I ARRIVE AS EARLY AS 8:00 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN. BUT THE MEETING TIME IS 12:OO NOON. SO INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME WAITING TILL THE HANDS OF CLOCK BOTH REACH 12, I DECIDED TO WALK AROUND TO  FAMILIARIZE WITH  THE PLACE. I FOUND THIS GIGANTIC CHURCH SITUATED AT THE HEART OF THIS TINY MUNICIPALITY.  THIS IS A TESTAMENT AND A MONUMENT OF FAITH OF THE PEOPLE'S OF NAIC CAVITE, PHILIPPINES. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS RELIGIOUS EDIFICE, ARE THE SACRIFICES OF THE FAITHFUL. FOR ME IT DOES'NT MATTER  WHETHER YOU BELONG TO ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, IGLESIA NI CRISTO, BAPTIST, PRESBYTERIAN OR OTHER RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME IS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR FAITH AND YOUR PER...

Students from R. L. Pascual Elementary School, Quezon City, Philippines were taught about the importance of keeping themselves clean and healthy by properly washing their hands with soap and water. Some says that hand washing is like a "do-it-yourself" vaccine. RAISE a HAND for HYGIENE! is a fitting slogan. Every OCTOBER 15, is a GLOBAL HAND WASHING DAY! Hand washing is not only for children or students it is for all. Always keep our hands clean. It is participated by students, local and national leaders, international communities and advocates from social media, Personal hygiene is a pillar of international development and public health, Let us join the fun, raise our clean hands and start a healthy family that grows into a healthy communities, towns and cities.                            TODAY, I PROMISED TO WASH MY HANDS! WI...

OCTOBER IS NOT AN ORDINARY MONTH FOR ALL OF US AND FOR THE REST OF PEOPLE IN OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE. OCTOBER IS A GLOBAL HAND WASHING MONTH.  WHAT MAKES THIS CELEBRATION SO SPECIAL? HAND WASHING DAY WITH WATER AND SOAP IS THE SIMPLEST FORM YET SO EFFECTIVE TO COMBAT ALL SORT OF GERMS BEFORE IT PENETRATES IN OUR BODY SYSTEM.  PICTURE BELOW IS A SIMPLE MOVABLE HAND WASHING LAVATORY WHERE STUDENTS OF R. L.  PASCUAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY BAESA, QUEZON CITY PHILIPPINES WASHED THEIR HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING THEIR FOODS. THE HAND WASHING PROGRAM IS LONG TIME RUNNING IN THE PROVINCES. NOW IT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN METRO MANILA BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, NGO',S, AND CONCERNED CORPORATIONS (THRU THEIR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY). QUEZON CITY IS AMONG THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT IN METRO MANILA IF NOT THE FIRST WHICH ADOPTED THE PROGRAM. BUT THROUGH THE "ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE ORDINANCE" FILED BY COUNCILOR JUL...

IN MY FEW TRIPS TO QUEZON CITY PERSONNEL'S OFFICE, I ENCOUNTERED THIS VERY FAMILIAR YET VERY SIGNIFICANT WORD POSTED ON THE WALL NEAR THE DOOR WHERE  PERSONNEL HEAD MS. MARLENE AGUILAR HOLD HER OFFICE. I BELIEVE IT WAS HANGED THERE WITH A PURPOSE. THE WORD READS, "RESOURCEFULNESS." PRESUMING AND ASSUMING THAT ALL THE STAFF OF THAT DEPARTMENT READ IT AND APPLIED IT WHETHER INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY AS A COHESIVE UNIT ITS IMPACT WILL BE MAGNANIMOUS BOTH FOR INDIVIDUAL AND FOR THAT DEPARTMENT. RESOURCEFULNESS IS FINDING PRACTICAL USES FOR THAT WHICH OTHERS WOULD OVERLOOK OR DISCARD. IF WE LOOK AROUND, WE WILL FIND A LOT OF THINGS THAT SEEMS TO CEASE ITS USEFULNESS NOT LOOKING FOR OTHER WAYS TO MAKE IT USEFUL WE THROW IT OR DISCARDED IT RIGHT AWAY. BUT BEING A RESOURCEFUL PERSON TEACHES US TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO MAKE IT USEFUL AGAIN THEN IN RETURN IT SAVES MONEY THAT WE CAN USE FOR OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED IN LIFE.  REWARDS OF RESOURCEFULNESS CR...
