One Sunday afternoon, my friends and I went to Bagac, Bataan. As we pass by the Bulacan area, we saw a gigantic construction undergoing on the right side of the highway. Questions immediately thrown by and we’re really anxious to know what that is. I rush to get a laptop to try to research about that gigantic construction. We have found out that it is The Philippine Arena owned by The Iglesia Ni Cristo. According to Wiki, The Philippine Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena being constructed at Ciudad de Victoria, a 75-hectare tourism enterprise zone in Bocaue and Santa Maria, Bulacan, Philippines. With a capacity of up to 50,000, it will be the largest indoor domed-arena in the Philippines. It is the centerpiece of the many centennial projects of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) for their grand celebration on July 27, 2014. The legal owner of the arena is the INC's educational institution, New Era University. Motivated from Narra tree, the mother tree of the Philippines and the

I was always fascinated by what’s on our solar system. May it be asteroids, heavenly planets, stars or anything that made up our universe is quite a spectacle for me! Once in a while, I try to look up in the sky hoping to see something spectacular like an eclipse or a meteor shower. We may be in good luck just before the 2013 will end, a comet will probably appear right before our very eyes! Introducing the Comet ISON. Comet ISON, also known as C/2012 S1 or Comet Nevski–Novichonok, is a sungrazing comet discovered by Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok on 21 September 2012. Thanks to Wiki, we can indulge ourselves to know more about this comet. Using the 0.4-meter (16 in) reflector of the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON), the discovery was made near Kislovodsk, Russia. Data processing was carried out by automated asteroid-discovery program CoLiTec. Precovery images by the Mount Lemmon Survey from 28 December 2011 and by Pan-STARRS from 28 January 2012 were quic

Manny Pacquiao won his last fight just recently against Brandon BamBam Rios, and he dedicated this fight for the victims of typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. As he came back here in the Philippines, he immediately do something about helping the typhoon victims. To his dismay, the BIR has frozen all his bank accounts. He ask his friends for monetary help just to make his promise on helping the Yolanda victims. Manny Pacquiao and his wife, Vice Gov. Jinkee, have appealed the tax fraud case filed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) against them for alleged tax deficiencies in 2008 and 2009 amounting to P2.2 billion. Last Thursday, November 21, through his lawyers, Pacquiao filed a petition against BIR commissioner Kim Henares before the Court of Tax Appeals in Quezon City. In the petition, Pacquiao said he wants to stop the BIR from collecting the P2.2 billion in supposed tax deficiencies. Pacquiao called on the Court of Tax Appeals to declare the BIR’s formal letter or demand

There were a lot of rumors spreading across the internet saying that a lot of people are hearing strange sounds and some say that there’s so loud noise that even set off car alarms. Sometimes they describe it as a hum or low rumble; other times it’s a whine, thump, or even a melody. Often the sounds have been recorded and posted online, fueling rumors and conspiracy theories. According to Wiki, the Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people. Hums have been widely reported by national media in the UK and the United States. The Hum is sometimes prefixed with the name of a locality where the problem has been particularly publicized: e.g., the "Bristol Hum", the "Taos Hum", or the "Bondi Hum". Data from a Taos Hum study suggests that a minimum of two percent and perhaps as many as 11 percent of the population could detect the Taos Hum and

For us Filipinos, we always thought that we know Manny Pacquiao inside and out. We’re all an expert on our own fields, but more often than not, we tend to judge people according to our own beliefs. Have we asked ourselves, do we really know the man? Or Manny still have something hidden for us to see on his next fights? Manny Pacquiao is hardly a trash talker or the type to make bold, outrageous predictions. Everytime he stand in the ring even during the weigh-in and press cons, he’s always on a good mood and a smile never leaves his face. With many predicting his demise, however, an apparently insulted Pacquiao boldly predicts a knockout of Brandon Rios. We can never blame them, he suffered two consecutive losses, one with a really devastating result. Coach Freddie Roach mentioned that he felt Pacquiao would stop Rios on Saturday (Sunday morning Macau time) in the sixth round of their 12-round welterweight bout at CotaiArena during an interview while Manny Pacquiao is sitting next

Typhoon Haiyan might be the strongest typhoon ever hit the world. With over 4,000 people killed in the Philippines alone, you will wonder how in the world a typhoon gets stronger every year! I came across one article that might give a more logical explanation on why is this happening. This might not just an effect of global warming or climate change. The worst, we literally might cause this ourselves. Introducing HAARP! HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a little-known, yet critically important U.S. military defense program which has generated quite a bit of controversy over the years in certain circles. Some respected researchers allege that secret electromagnetic warfare capabilities of HAARP are designed to forward the US military’s stated goal of achieving full-spectrum dominance by the year 2020, but of course, HAARP officials are denying this. Others go so far as to claim that HAARP can and has been used for weather modification, to cause earthqua

Dog is a man's best friend. That's all we have to say everytime we talk about our beloved dogs. There were several species of them and every one of us have our own fave. But have you asked yourself where they might come from? Or perhaps, how the first dog look like? Curious as it is, let's find out! Scientists have been dogged by this evolution question for years: Just where did man's best friend first appear? Though DNA studies have implicated east Asia and the Middle East, the earliest known doglike fossils come from Europe. Now a large DNA study is lining up with the fossils, some 19,000 to 32,000 years ago suggesting dogs originated in Europe. Even though experts said it won't end the debate, they praised the new work and their latest disscovery. Scientists generally agree that dogs emerged from wolves to become the first domesticated animal.  Maybe drawn by food in garbage dumps and carcasses left by human hunters, their wolf ancestors began to associa

The author of this article wanted to remain anonymous for a lot of security reasons. This article was written a few years ago. I will share this to you as it is. This would probably explain as to why the giant China kept on bullying us regarding territorial disputes. If the Philippine government can’t handle a job of this magnitude, we might be needing help from our country of alliance. If you’re interested enough, just read on. Be careful though, this might give you some worries! We don't know but just maybe, the MALAMPAYA is operating in lieu with this... HYDROGEN from Water was predicted by Jules Verne in 1874 to be the fuel of the future. During World War II, Germany used V-2 Rocket Bombs propelled by HYDROGEN. Now, Dr. Jacob Bigeleisen discovered that at room temperature or under atmospheric condition, DEUTERIUM ATOMS are electrolyzed naturally out of water in the form of HYDROGEN gas. This natural phenomenal process needs no expensive electric power consuming electrolysi

Across the Philippines, typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda affected a total of 9.5 million people -- and displaced at least 600,000 -- when it slammed into the country on Friday, November 8 according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Though there were, as of this writing, more than 2,300 dead, there were survivors who were described as being in desperate need of clean drinking water and food. You can’t even imagine the pain and agony, unless you witness it firsthand. According to Secretary to the Cabinet Rene Almendras, "In some cases the devastation has been total."   Yolanda, the greatest, even the strongest typhoon in the world this year is estimated to have destroyed about 70 to 80 percent of structures in its path as it tore into the coastal provinces of Leyte, Samar, Cebu and Antique. Officials say that 10,000 may have died after the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines. As survivors assess the damage, Joseph Curry, with

Have you ever experienced one day that your child asks you that he or she wanted a super hero costume and you found yourself wandering? You might have probably asked yourself, how in the world will I get a super hero costume?  The worst part is, you’re so lame that you never knew even one super hero because you’re probably too busy reading your book for a review perhaps during your childhood days ;-) You better do something about that. Meet sisters Savannah and Siennah Greenawalt! As normal as it is, these two sisters have their own set of both princess and fairy costumes. They had a brother though named Sebastian. When Sebastian had to dress up as heroes like The Batman that became a problem ‘coz you see, they only had costumes for princess and fairy, and the girls wanted to be super heroes too. Their mom Amber, decided to take some action ;-) Amber Greenawalt thought of the inspirational women she saw on TV shows like "Major Crime," "The Closer" and &qu

To all health-conscious people, eating meat is definitely a no-no. Though, research shows that we all need meat for its protein content, there were still people who prefer to eat non-meat meals, they are the vegetarians. However, on a recent experiment by a group of scientists, they have successfully cultured a laboratory-grown beef. Scientists unveiled the world's first lab-grown beef burger, serving it up to volunteers in London in what they hope is the start of a food revolution. The team in Maastricht took cells from organic cows and placed them in a nutrient solution to create muscle tissue. They then grew this into small strands of meat, 20,000 of which were required to make the burger. The costs of cultured beef are likely to fall as more is produced and the team claim, although it is very expensive, it could be available in supermarkets within 10 to 20 years. Proponents of test tube meat cite a variety of reasons for why it is worth supporting, from animal

There were a lot of explorations done to search for other heavenly bodies on the universe where man could possibly live! Mars is the nearest feasible to explore. Did NASA found something there worth to prove that we could live there? Well, they did more than that. NASA has found out that Mars have once a habitual environment! As a matter of fact, NASA’s curiosity rover has collected compelling evidence that ancient Mars was a very wet place. They were looking for water on Mars? Yes, some of it fit to drink, there’s water, there’s water everywhere. Thanks to discoveries by NASA's Curiosity rover, shown on the right is the picture of ancient Mars that has emerged during the past few months, which has been exploring the Red Planet since touching down inside Gale Crater in August 2012. Presented together recently here at the European Planetary Science Congress, though the announcements have come in dribs and drabs, they provide compelling evidence that Mars was quit
