Here in the Philippines, everybody probably knows who Jose Manalo is. Ariel Pagtalonia Manalo (born February 12, 1966 in Manila), better known as Jose Manalo, is a Filipino actor and comedian. He is best known for appearing regularly on the noon-time variety show Eat Bulaga! on GMA Network. However, this article is not about the actor/comedian, this is about his pretty daughter Myki Manalo who will soon become a doctor. There is nothing more rewarding than to see your children reach their dreams. That’s what Jose Manalo exactly feels right now as well as a lot of Netizens in the Social Media. Jose Manalo have faced a lot, a lot really of controversies in his life. Especially being in the show business where everyone puts you on a microscopic point of view.  In 2012, Jose Manalo's wife lodged a complaint against the comedian for verbal and emotional abuse. In her affidavit, she claimed that the abuse started in 2011 when Manalo had an alleged affair with a me

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is the central bank of the Republic of the Philippines. It was established on 3 July 1993 pursuant to the provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution and the New Central Bank Act of 1993. The BSP took over from the Central Bank of Philippines, which was established on 3 January 1949, as the country’s central monetary authority. The BSP enjoys fiscal and administrative autonomy from the National Government in the pursuit of its mandated responsibilities. The new BSP logo is a perfect round shape in blue that features three gold stars and a stylized Philippine eagle rendered in white strokes. These main elements are framed on the left side with the text inscription “Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas” underscored by a gold line drawn in half circle. The right side remains open, signifying freedom, openness, and readiness of the BSP, as represented by the Philippine eagle, to soar and fly toward its goal. Putting all these elements together is a

I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste

One rainy afternoon, while we are looking for something to buy somewhere at the Quiapo area, we found ourselves inside the Isetann Cinerama Complex at C.M. Recto trying to look for a decent meal. One particular restaurant caught our attention and their menu is really something, not to mention they are all affordable. The Lechon Factory was established 2016, it was all brand new. Their meals are of course everything about Lechon, and as tempting as it is and having a lot of guilt that we might endure later on, we decided to indulge ourselves and try their best sellers. Lechón is a pork dish in several regions of the world, most specifically Spain and its former colonial possessions throughout the world. The word lechón originated from the Spanish term lechón, referring to a suckling pig that is roasted. Lechón is a popular food in the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, North Sulawesi province of Indonesia, other Spanish-speaking nations in Latin Amer

The Real Estate is on booming stage here in the Philippines. As such, as far as a lot of foreigners wanted to visit the country for many reasons; one might be to find someone here who they can spend their life with, it would be more practical to purchase a property here in the country. Yes of course, you as a foreigner can own a property in the Philippines and we have a lot to offer. Philippines’ tropical climate, the warmth of the Filipinos and great opportunities for investments are some of the many reasons why more and more foreigners are now becoming interested in buying properties in the Philippines. On the other hand, many people are still not sure whether foreigners can own property in the country. The answer is yes, foreigners may own real estate property in the Philippines, but they are not allowed to buy and own land. Foreign ownership of property in our country is not absolute and subject to restrictions. Yet still, foreigners can invest in vertical property here.

Numismatics is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods. In this regard, I have considered myself as Numismatist as I have ample amount of collection of coins both loacally from the Philippines and abroad especially the United States of America. In this article, I will share to you one of the latest addition to my collection, the Pope Francis Commemorative Coin with both 50 Peso and 500 Peso face value. To commemorate the state and pastoral visit of Pope Francis, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) today announced the issuance of limited edition 50-piso and 500-piso papal coins. Both coins are legal tender and will be sold for P100.00 and P1,000.00, respectively, to cover production, packaging and other costs. Th

He made her blood run cold “A friend of a friend called me for a date, and we agreed to go for a walk. Things were going well, until he mentioned that he was a member of a secret church in which the only women allowed were ‘goddesses.’ He started talking about vampirism but was elusive about his own vampire status, saying ‘Real

During some stressful times, I tend to browse the internet looking for something funny to ease the tension. I came across into this one guy named Jeff Dunham and he is hilarious. I almost spend half a day watching his acts. Ventriloquism, or ventriloquy, is an act of stagecraft in which a person (a ventriloquist) manipulates his or her voice so that it appears that the voice is coming from elsewhere, usually a puppeteered "dummy". The act of ventriloquism is ventriloquizing, and the ability to do so is commonly called in English the ability to "throw" one's voice. However, the term "throwing one's voice" is misleading, because it implies that a sound's physical origin has changed, when really the change has been perceptual and not physical. Jeff Dunham is a professional ventriloquist. Let's get to know him better shall we? Jeffrey William Robinson "Jeff" Dunham (born April 18, 1962) is an American ventriloquist and stand-

On Monday, June 27, 2011 at 9:30 pm Manila time, an asteroid which is 5 - 20 meters in diameter will pass on Earth as close as 12,000 kilometers. NASA or the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration reveals this event on their website last Friday. The discovery team of NASA's Near Earth Object Project Office based at Socorro, New Mexico found the space rock and they named it "Asteroid 2011 MD". "An orbital analysis indicates there is no chance it will actually strike Earth" according to them. According to NASA, Asteroid 2011 MD "will reach its closest Earth approach point in extreme southern latitudes, in fact over the southern Atlantic Ocean". They also said that, "The incoming trajectory leg passes several thousand kilometers outside the geosynchronous ring of satellites and the outgoing leg passes well inside the ring". The asteroid will also miss the many satellites circling the planet as it comes in. Usin

During Holy Week, people tend to plan where to spend their vacation. As of us, we decided to visit the Sariaya, Quezon. Let's find out how they remember the passion of Christ and let's see what the province can offer. It was Thursday, April 21. We left Manila around 9:00 PM. We rode the traditional Philippine passenger jeepney from Espana, Manila to Lawton. From there, we have to travel to Alabang via Bus. It took us an hour and a half commuting and finally, we were there. From Alabang, we rode another Bus to go directly to Sariaya, Quezon. At approximately 1:00 AM, we have reached the town proper. You might wonder and wanted to know more about the province? The Municipality of Sariaya (Filipino: Bayan ng Sariaya) is a first class municipality in the province of Quezon, Philippines.
