Credit card and privacy.

Credit card and privacy.

Is there no privacy now a day? Aren’t you surprised that there is a credit card in your mail even if you didn’t apply for it? And you just need to call them to activate it. Or the worst-case scenario is that a collecting agent is asking you to pay for a certain card which to your knowledge you did not apply for and somebody is actively using it.

Huwag kumain sa fast food pagmalapit na ang closing time?

Marami na akong nababasa sa net tungkol sa mga istorya ng mga crew ng fast food na kung saan kapag closing time na at may mabait na customer na umoorder pa medyo marami na silang “extra” na inilalagay sa pagkain. Ang “extra” na sinasabi ko ay mga unhygienic things and i will leave it to your imagination na lang.

So, bakit ba nila ito ginagawa? Dahil ayaw nila mahuli ng uwi, dahil ang duty ng closing time ay walang overtime pay. At dahil umorder ka, matatagalan pa ang kanilang paglilinis at magwowork sila ng extra without pay.

Kung hindi makatiis at gustong kumain sa fast food as much as possible dun kayo umoorder sa lugar na kung saan kitang kita ang kitchen. Para makita nyo pano iprepare ang inyong pagkain.

Para naman sa fast food establishment kung legal naman ang issue at late sila nagclose, why not pay them for the overtime.

Ms. Janina San Miguel – Bb. Pilipinas winner

Well, many are condemning her because of her wrong grammar/ wrong english but the question is – is correct grammar / good english a must for a beauty pageant? She joined a beauty pageant not a grammar contest. Although, in beauty contest you need brains but it doesn’t equate that if you have poor grammar you are already “bobo” .

I posted this topic in the social issue because this is a social problem. We look at people who could speak fluently in english so high and mighty! Guest, what! It is a possibility that it is the only area that person is good at. It show how colonial mentality we are.

Personally, i cannot connect her answer to the question but maybe the judges have seen the true beauty and intelligence of Ms. Janina San Miguel.


Merck to pay $650 Million Dollar as settlement.

Merck will pay the US government the sum of $650 million dollar as a settlement for allegedly failing to pay proper rebates for Medicaid and giving medical providers illegal remuneration to promote their product.

Gee, i hope this is applicable here in the Philippines. Although there is a generic law and also there is a proposed cheaper medical bill, this bill does not have enough teeth to outlaw the practice of Pharmaceutical company to give incentives to medical practitioner’s who promotes their product not base on the effectiveness but on the rebates he/she earns. I’m not saying that they are all like this but there are some who do this.
