My travel time

Ito ang bus na sinakyan mula sa condo ng friend ko. Sobrang excited. Kase sabi nila ang Singapore daw ay maliit pero malinis. Ang unang naisip ko na puntahan ay ang Sentosa. I love to travel kaya di mo talaga ako mapapastay sa Hotel or sa bahay lalo na first time. Naku kahit lakarin ko buong City di ako mapapagod. Buti na lang di ako mayaman kung hinde naku! nalibot ko na ang buong mundo. Gustong gusto ko talaga makita ang ibat ibang creation o nature ng bawat bawat bansa . Kase na a apreciate ko ang ginawa ng Dios sa kamangha manghang tanawin na sya ang may likha.( Nov. 18-2006

Amazing right? Kung paano nya naalagaan ang colorful fish na yan. Sobrang peaceful. Hay nakaklimutan ko talaga ang mga problema ko sa pinas. Para din akong nasa ilalim ng dagat.Napakalinaw ng water.

Lahat ng klaseng isda magmula sa pinaka maliit at pinaka malaking isda meron sila. Kinuha nila ang ibat ibang klaseng isda sa ibat ibang panig ng mundo. Sobrang mahal ang entrance nila pero sulit naman. High tech ang mga gamit nila. Pinapakain nila sa tama ang mga alagang isda nila. Ang pagkakaalam ko sa ilalim ng dagat ang place na yan at manmade lang ang Sentosa.

Philippines Beats America Hands Down
I asked my friend to wrote an article to the forum of my OFW online community website mabuhaycity.com, and here's what he came up with.

The article was posted on some there places as well and ignited flame among some people. Some say I must be smoking while writing this. But it's up to you to decide what I really mean with this article.

Philippines Beats America Hands Down
--Only after I went to America, did I find the Philippines so much better than America

In the Philippines, we have many official public holidays, not like in America where people only have some 6 or 7 official public holidays. In fact we start celebrating Christmas in October when the Americans just have work in their minds. We are pretty much relaxed at work. Working is never as stressful as in America. In the Philippines who cares if you play some music from your computer in office, have chicaharon bulaklak break 3 times a day in office, or even have some short karaoke session in office during the day? After work, it's usual we would go for gimmick together. In America everyone has to work their butt off, busy all day long in office and most of them have no time for gimmick after work. They have to pay high income tax, not like in the Philippines where the government can't figure out how much to tax you because they don't exactly know how much you make and where you get the money. In America if people work for the government, they can't even get under table money.


In the Philippines, you have so much more personal freedom than in America. You can smoke in many public places, drink in public, and our jeepneys can pick you up anywhere and drop you off anywhere on a busy street, which is so much convenient. Even if you got caught with traffic violation, our police officers are so nice that they would just let you go for a small amount of pesos. Not like in America, you have to go to court if you beat red light riding a bicycle, and the police officers are so mean that if you gave them money they would threw you to jail.


In America, there are no tricycles. You virtually have to drive by yourself whenever you want to leave your home. In the Philippines, you could see tricycles just outside your door, and you have the privilege of having someone drive for you at affordable cost!

In the Philippines, the working class people always have some cash in their wallet. In America, most people just have some plastic cards in their wallet. If they happen to have a few dollars in their wallet, that's just for emergency only.

In America, almost everyone is in debt because it is easy to borrow money from credit card companies or banks. In the Philippines, thanks to the credit card companies and banks who have made their interest rates the highest in the world, nobody has the guts to borrow money from them, so we do not have that many people in debt and having to foreclose their homes like the Americans are doing now.

In America, the children and teenagers are easy to get bad influence from outside, especially those violent games and pornos, etc on Internet. In the Philippines, luckily many people don't have access to Internet at all so many of our kids can stay away from those harmful things.

In America, the churches are bad. Their Catholic church has been found with a lot of child molester pastors. In the Philippines, people have strong religious belief and consciousness so our pastors don't do that kind of stuff. The churches in the Philippines are only into politics such as general election, of course, they do politics on behalf on God.

In America, if you want to buy a DVD, that would cost at least 10 dollars(that's 400 pesos!). If you want to get a Windows software CD or something you'd have to pay 100 dollars(robbery!). To download a song from Internet you have to pay 99 cents. In the Philippines with less than 50 pesos you can get a DVD with the latest movie, or any kind of software, or tens of MP3 songs.

Some people say things are cheap in the Philippines because we are a poor country. I don't think so. For example, in America with any cell phone service provider you can easily get a deal to pay $39.99(that's 1600 pesos only) a month to get 600-1000 minute of free calls to anywhere in the country plus unlimited calls during evening and weekend. In the Philippines if an American talk that long with Globe or Smart he'd certainly have a heart attack when the bill comes.

Also in the Philippines the electricity is more expensive than America, the gasoline is much more expensive than America, the cars are more expensive than America, and like Americans, Filipinos are also fond of big cars. All those evidently prove that we Filipinos can afford higher living standard in the Philippines than Americans in America.

Even the American democracy is not as good as ours. First of all, our politicians are more caring and giving than the American politicians. In America whenever election comes, the greedy politicians go out to collect money from people to run their political campaign and they call it 'fund raising'. In the Philippines, the politicians give money to people to vote or go on the street or assemblies. Secondly, in America the politicians have no human rights at all. They have to disclose their income, or even their personal life. President Clinton just had an oral sex with his intern and he got abused by the American media and almost got fired by the Congress. In the Philippines, Erap had been banging all kinds of different women while he was the president and nobody gave a damn.

Our economy is also getting stronger than America's. Philippine peso has been going up sharply against US dollars over the past a couple years to become "the best performing currency in Asia", according to our government, who also says this is a sign of our strong economy and a result of successful economic policies. Although people's salary didn't get increased, virtually nothing got cheaper in the Philippines and many OFW families have to tighten their belt as a result of strong pesos.

Lastly, for a man, Philippines is a far better place than America. In the Philippines, if you made a woman pregnant, you could just run away telling the woman you are not ready for the responsibility or have no money for the responsibility, or just run away without telling the woman anything at all. In America the court will haunt you down to the last dime to pay for the living expenses of the kid and woman and even the day care and school tuition of the kid until the kid reaches 18 years old. Scary, isn't it?

Disagree with me? Think again. In every city of the Philippines, you can get authenticated McDonald or KFC burgers easy. How many Jolliebee did you ever see in America? In how many cities of America did you ever see restaurants serving sinagang or crispy pata? Let alone Tanduay which I am confident will blow Americans away if it is ever served in America. In the Philippines, even in the squatters, people are happy singing karaoke all day long and all night long, have you ever seen such happy neighborhoods in America?
