Old Manila Video

While online, I came across this video featuring the Old Manila.  Here in the video, we can see how clean the streets of Manila was during those days.  Funny thing though is we can notice that many Filipinos were wearing “americana”, I’m safely assuming that this was taken during the American occupation.  Few points we could extract from the video: 1. Philippines was progressive those year.  2. No traffic in the streets.  3. Buildings were few, so is pollution.  4.  People had discipline.  It’s always nice to see the glorious years of the Philippines (the times when neighboring countries envy us).  We could never bring back the past, but we could prepare for a brighter tomorrow, I believe.  I hope you were able to enjoy the video.

Growth in Philippine Export

By Karl Lester M. Yap

Aug. 8 (Bloomberg) — Philippine export growth accelerated to a four-month high in June as a weaker peso made the country’s disk drives and mobile-phone chips cheaper and shipments to China countered faltering demand from the U.S.

Shipments abroad rose 8.3 percent from a year earlier to $4.49 billion, compared with a 2.3 percent gain in May, according to preliminary figures released by the National Statistics Office in Manila today. The median estimate of 7 economists in a Bloomberg survey was for a 4.1 percent increase.

The peso, last year’s best performer in the region, fell for a fourth month in June, boosting the foreign-currency earnings of exporters. That may help stave off the effects of weakening demand for Asian goods as global growth slows.

Working Hard vs Working Smart: The Story of Pablo and Bruno

The first time I watched this video was in the website of Create Abundance 2020.  I followed it back to the Youtube site and searched for other editions, but as I found out, this one is one of the better versions of it.  See it for yourselves.

This video talks about Financial Freedom through leverage, a form of “working smart attitude.”  View this as many times as possible so that the lessons would sink in.  Thank you!

Save Lives, Save Property

My dad, Virgilio Fernandez, is an advocate of protecting lives through fire fighting.  He has been part of Soler Volunteer for more than 15 years, and has responded and has been witness to handful of disasters like “Ozone Disco tragedy”, “LRT Blumentritt Bombing”, and many others.  

I believe that we could also help save lives in our own way by being proactive even if we’re not fire fighters.  Read the article below from Manila Bulletin Online.

Fight fire with ” Txt Fire “

By Charissa M. Luci

Obsession.

This prompted the birth of such spam called “Txt Fire,” a public service intended to improve the fire fighting response time for volunteer brigades and fire stations nationwide in saving lives and limbs.
