I totally agree with Lourd. The point is, we should not get agree over jokes, comments that are proven true. It's a fact that there are Filipino Mail Order Brides, there are Filipino domestic helpers, there are Filipino cyber sex chatters, that transcripts and certificates can be bought at Recto and all other things that made me feel not proud to be a Filipino.
Filipinos are not dumb, yet we have a lot of laws in our country but the problem is the implementation. We lack DISCIPLINE and LOVE of our Country.
Unless CHANGE is done, we really cannot prove ourselves to others or gain their respect. CHANGE IS WHAT WE NEED. CHANGE within our selves, CHANGE of government system.

Another forwarded e-mail I got today. Whether the following stories are urban legends or not, we should be very careful and alert at all times.
NEW TACTICS
Someone shared the following cases :
(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was a
man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn't know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money
from the ATM machine. I answerd 'NO!! If you need help, ask the security guard. Then he said 'nevermind.. .' and continued to find other people to help him... REMEMBER : ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one.
So please be careful of these tactics.
(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your
neighbours still have lights. So you go out of your house to check the
Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and
preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured.
REMEMBER: Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open the
door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.
(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before, it is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside.
When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home and gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER: Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and girls, please be careful.. DON'T BE TOO KIND!!
(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding 2 packets of
sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I realised that
she was foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money.I sensed there wassomething wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road.
(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with her machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl went in front of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at the tray of the ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take away my money. I sensed something was wrong and immediately pushed her away. Later I realised that the small girl and the old lady worked together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking me questions! REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert.
Look out for anyone suspicious around you!
(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more petrol and the petrol station was too far for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay P50 for the bottle. So my mum took one coke bottle for him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a P1000 bill. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just gave it for free.
REMEMBER : obviously that bill is fake!! Who would want to pay for P50 for an empty coke bottle!! It's very OBVIOUS that that stranger is a trickster.
(7) This happened in Bali . A newly married couple were having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both are in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks passed and there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was very dissapointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watch a 'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find that it was his missing wife put there as a means for begging.
(8) This happened in Shanghai . A few years ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side on one of the streets in Bangkok, Thailand. The worst thing is that her cousin sister has no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).
(9) Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract your attention. This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.
(10) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there. It's also near to the ShenZhen train station and Hong Kong's Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shpping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring a live person out of the toilet without them noticing!. Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that was not the 1st time such a thing happened. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the toilet of shopping complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.
REMEMBER : please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.
PLEASE PASS ON THIS MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS!!!

I know this is old news, but I still can't get over this interview with Mikey Arroyo by Winnie Monsod. I still can't believe what I'm hearing from the mouth of the President's son.
GRrrrrabbeeeh na 'to
Congratulations to Rio de Janeiro for winning the bid among lots of contenders. This is the first time a South American city was chosen to host the games. After staying up late to watch the progress on CNN, I think Rio deserves it. Rio beat Madrid, Spain, in the final round. Chicago, Illinois, and Tokyo, Japan, were eliminated in earlier rounds. The announcement brought tears to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Rio will host the games from August 5 to 21
This is Rio's Bidding Video. What a lovely city indeed!
The master plan:
Still top on the list is Bill Gates. Although he lost about 7 billion from last year. Google's founders Larry and Sergey are among the top 15 on the list.
Whew, we could just stare at their billions and day dream a little bit. :)

A friend sent me this forwarded e-mail about the latest on what's happening in Facebook, the largest social network to date. I just copied the e-mail content and I claimed no ownership as to the original content of this e-mail. I just want to share to all so that you may know. Feel free to comment. You are entitled to your own opnion. :)
Just today, FACEBOOK users from all over the Philippines flooded with comments another user named JACQUELINE BERMEJO for what seem to be a very insensitive, irresponsible, offensive and careless statement she posted on the social network site’s wall. I found out about this via JULIUS BABAO’s re-tweet.
As of writing, there are 1,086 comments from users coming from various locations and all walks of life expressing their objections and feedbacks about her controversial statement and bad attitude towards the victims of the epic flooding in Manila that left thousands homeless and hundreds dead.
While both OFWs abroad and Filipinos here mourn over this great tragedy, this lady from DUBAI thought differently. As all of us unite to provide help and support, she herself took an unbelievable stand on the matter by tagging victims as sinners who deserves whatever happened to them.
Anyway, WHO IS JACQUE BERMEJO? Well, I got some information as well from various online sources and I am posting them here to perhaps put a better reference on the issue and on the person plus put justice to to the case. What happened is not a joke and so her statement is not a joke as well! It’s cruel!
IS SHE FOR REAL? Perhaps, this may be a case of IDENTITY THEFT that someone with deep hatred on her made up all these or perhaps, she really is for real and was not in a good mood when she posted her statement. I do hope that she get to speak, explain and do a public apology. At any rate, damage has been done already!

And here's a copy of the letter said to be forwarded to Jacque's Dubai boss:

Dear Mr. _____,
A group of concerned Filipino citizens would like to inform you about the disgraceful public conduct of one of your employees, Jacqueline Bermejo. While we are in no way directly associated or remotely acquainted with Jacqueline, a viral detestation of her character as a person has been made apparent to thousands of people around the world, ourselves included. This enmity has driven the public and the press to know who Jacqueline is--where she came from, where she lives, where she works--inevitably leading them to CasaPrestige.
The day the Philippines was hit by Typhoon Ketsana (local typhoon name Ondoy), resulting in massive flooding and the loss of human lives and thousands of homes, Jacqueline made an irreverent public remark on a Filipino FaceBook community page (screencap here), saying and we quote "buti n lng am hir in dubai! maybe so many sinners bak der! so yeah deserving wat hapend!". Roughly translated and improved upon, it can be understood as, 'It's a good thing I'm here in Dubai . There might be a lot of sinners back there [ Philippines ]. So yeah, they deserved what happened".
We are not requesting that any actions of dismissal or reprimand be done on your part, as this matter is strictly unassociated with your business or how Jacqueline conducts herself at work. But her gross and public slur, lack of sensitivity and propriety, and not to mention her blatant recklessness, are qualities unfitting of someone in her role and position as an officer; and although it is irrelevant to the purpose of this letter, her grasp of the English language as a public relations practitioner seems rather questionable. Also, we believe you have the right to know about the matter, as we fear her hate speech toward her own countrymen currently suffering from a calamity will undoubtedly create a negative impression on CasaPrestige and the values the company represents.
On behalf of all Filipinos and supporters and to those who have come to know CasaPrestige as Jacqueline Bermejo's employer, we thank you for taking the time to read this letter and we hope that your company remains unaffected by this scandal.
Sincerely yours,
Concerned Filipino Citizens
