A MUST READ article from manila times Foreign firms generating super-profits from PH telecom duopoly IN my column of October 30, I showed that one major reason why we have such poor telecoms in this country is because PLDT and Globe Telecom – the two firms making up the duopoly here – have been so greedy. PLDT and Globe have been distributing almost all of their profits to their shareholders, leaving little left to use for infrastructure to improve their services, much less offer to lower the price of their services to consumers, which would reduce their margins. This is in stark contrast to what other Philippine conglomerates do, such as Henry Sy’s SM, San Miguel, and John Gokongwei’s JG Summit. From 2005 to 2006, PLDT’s dividends...
"JOLLIBEE tinapatan ng JOYRULBEE. Breaking news. May bagong joyrulbee dito sa China. Sa 10 years namin sa china, nakapunta na kami ng iba't-ibang city. Ngayon lang kami nakakita ng joyrulbee.

36 Amazing Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Jose Rizal This post was most recently updated on October 7th, 2018 As one respected Filipino historian once said, “Jose Rizal is everywhere yet he is nowhere.” We’ve learned more about his life than any other Filipino hero who fought for our liberty. His name is indeed everywhere–from coins and schools to streets and numerous monuments. Still, few Filipinos bother to look back at his life, and the principles that made him our unofficial national hero. So how do we inspire our countrymen, especially the millennials, to know more about this oft taken-for-granted hero? It should all start with curiosity, and nothing can intrigue them better than bite-sized trivia about Jose Rizal’s...
Robert Lundstedt won the jackpot thanks to nine lottery tickets—all bearing the usual number combinations he would bet on—in four different locations. His numbers matched Monday’s Mass Cash drawing, and won $900,000 (almost P48.2 million) in total from the tickets. Lundstedt, who is a carpenter, said that his $700,000 earnings (almost P37.5 million) will be used to pay off his mortgage. Meanwhile, his children plan to save their $100,000 (around P5.3 million) each for their college education. And despite his win, Lundstedt said that he will still continue to play the lottery. “Absolutely,” he said. “The numbers can come in again. Buti pa siya 9times. Ako ni 1time wala pa. Hahaha
