    A female pastor in died in a road accident while his husband who is also a pastor was in in critical condition when they were slammed into an Elf van in a vehicular accident happened in the national road, […]

    • Just this morning I learned that even the husband pastor died in hospital. I learned this from a person who belong to their sect that told me the husband did not survive the operation.

      Its accident happened in an area where many accidents have had happened there. Many lives have been sacrificed in the said place.

    • May his soul rest in peace. Motor bikes ar3 a sure way of getting to where your going fast but th3 bad thing is that it carries with it a lot of dangers. Many people don’t see them as dangers but they ar3. If only th3 riders could be more cautious and try their luck with cars. They need to take extra care especially when it rains. Back in our country this accidents are pretty much an everyday occurence and it’s really taking a toll on families, where people are taking into riding without taking proper riding lessons before they get to the roads.very unfortunate.

    • This is a case of overtaking. while overtaking generally the youth can not guess the speed required while overtaking a front vehicle. They should also know how to handle the situation if any vehicle comes in the front. They do not have any estimation and are prone to such accidents. Here the motorbike driver and the pillion rider both expired. Both are above 45. Why and how he took such a decision to overtake another vehicle is really not coming to my understanding.

      The road conditions also are responsible for such accidents. The position is not good with India also. Here also the manholes are not covered properly with responsibility and sometimes during rainy season people disappear into the manholes. But, the opposition doie not make an issue over such incidents. They make out an issue over other indecent , indisciplined activities.

    • Good. Let me know about another article of yours. I like your writing style.

    • It is very true unfortunately that kids nowadays have no time for reading school books. Even the story books that our parents used to buy for us when we were younger so that we could improve on our English language, spellings and grammar, things that made us better are things that are not being done by parents nowadays. If I look back in the days parents had a day in everything that a child was doing and it was their word against the kids. No one had a right as such to decline what the parent said you just had to do it for your own goodness sake. So would I be wrong to say that parents nowadays are slacking behind when it comes to taking care of their kids? I don’t think so .like you have said kids from the age of 5 spend so much time online, who teaches those kids how to operate those gadgets and how do they get hold of them is it not the parents in the pretends that they want their kids to be well informed and not slack back? If anything the best thing a parent would do for a child is to get them various books and teach them what the real world is all about.and not lie to them that the world is an easy place to be. It’s only the parents that can decide what a child should and should not have not the other way round that is my opinion.

      • yes, if parents had initiated the first step, then children will follow suit later.
        Back then, my parents couldn’t afford to buy story books for me.
        We had borrowed from libraries and got free old encyclopedias from my rich cousins.

        We never had computers at home since we cannot afford one.
        So that is how I got hooked to reading

    • The question now is how to bring back the interest in children to read stories. It will never be a question if there are good stories because we have lots of books and stories from the past up to now.

      Maybe the parents should invest time to read some stories to their children. This one will develop their interest to read more stories. When I was a kid I love to read stories and now I am a writer.

      • true, parents should spend more time on reading books, newspapers to kids when they are young.
        because once they becomes adult, they are not keen in reading anymore

    • It is a fact that children are not interested in reading due to computer or YVs or movies all dancing on the screen before their eyes that is why reading trends in children are losing interest but I think it is a very serious matter we all must think abut this serious and dangerous matter what to do now?

      f we want our young people to read, it won’t happen automatically. There are too many other fun things to do. But it’s not rocket science. If we care about reading, and if we put good books in front of students, and if we foster a love of reading, then young people will read.

      Your life evolves into different sets of responsibilities, interests and aspirations that are reflected by how you utilize time. In other words, one day you were a readaholic and then next you discover internet video surfing which replaced your reading times. Surfing time became more important to you.

      The best part of reading is that not only do you gain knowledge but the process of reading books helps unlocks different parts of your brain that enhances your ability to acquire different perceptions and interpretation about life that leads to deeper insight.

      Let us think why children are losing interest in reading?

    • I don’t usually watch barangay tournament in our place maybe because its not my interest but still many folks have always been over gaga in some basketball tournament in their barangay like it seems a much awaited event to watch out for! My youngest brother has been a MVP of their league but later he stop playing in the tournament due to a certain fracture in his right legs.

      • Still one of the hottest sports in the Philippine backyard. Basketball have been always part of barangay fiesta. If only Filipinos have height then we have also in the top teams of the world.

    • It is not a question of the place which you are coming from but how you are playing. Basketball is my favorite game. I like it. My daughter represented Nationals also. Though she is short she plays extremely well. That is why she was selected. You could understand how much I like the game.

      This is the game meant for quickness and mental alertness. One should keep on moving throughout the time and watch for the ball.

      Your country is really doing a good effort.At the same time, the Government and people are also equally showing interest in improving their game.

    • Yes, taller than the Americans are playing today national basket ball tournament in Philippine with full zeal and zest among the national and international audience.

      The tournament is now officially open for this year’s Mayor’s Cup Inter-Barangay Basketball. The Opening ceremony participated by 20 teams from the different barangays was held at the Villasis Gymnasium last March 28, 2015.

      In his welcome address, Liga Pres. Hon. Romeo S. Abrenica said “enjoy game without physically hurting anyone. Huwag kayong papaapekto sa mga kantiyaw ng manonood at para sa lahat iwasan niyo sana ang pakikipag-pustahan dahil ito ang nagiging sanhi ng mainit na laro, gulo at away. Sa mga officials and referees, tingnan mabuti ang bawat call para magkaroon tayo ng magandang laro.”

      Mayor Dita thanked everyone who participated in this year’s tournament and stressed that sports is one of her priority projects intended for youths to have a worthwhile activity while resting from school and to enhance their skills in basketball and to develop camaraderie, teamwork and discipline.

      Municipal Officials who attended the opening ceremony were Vice Mayor Paz Rafanan, Coun. Louie Sison, Coun. Nong Costales, Coun. Cheryll Tan, Coun. Judith Morden, Coun. Richie Cacapit Coun. Rolly Morden and Brgy. Captains of the participating teams.

    • What is the money used for? Is it donated to a charitable work?

      • Usually, the generated money is used for the fiesta activities like prizes on different sports activities, buying things needed for decor in the whole community, for snacks during the activities, or the whole amount can be allotted for a certain project in the village like repair of barangay hall or cementing of road.

    • Philippines has many king and queens maybe because it was a part of our tradition, of our cultural heritage, and of our interest that lives on even up to this day of the modern age of technology. As we look back in this past years, philippines has been dominated the beauty pageant around the world with their own unique beauty, to show the world that we are not only beautiful inside and out but we have the eyes to see people who are in want, to bring equality to all, and to inspire people to never give up and stop dreaming, to follow that dreams, and make that dreams into reality.

      • Truly this is part of Philippine tradition. We have been like during the Spanish colonization of our country. Our rich culture and traditions also credited to our colonizers which we still practice until now. Our village fiesta are so enjoyable because of this traditions we have.

    • I have the same question as @Treathyl FOX has. What is the money for? Choosing a king and queen based on how much one collects does not seem to be a justification for that.

      • Yes, I forgot to mention about it. The accumulated money is used for fiesta activities or can also be used to fund certain project in the village, depending on what the village officials had approved.

    • Ha ha, that is true, we are all king and queen to our own way. We are the royalties without the protocol and without the wealth.

    • We call kind of thing beauty contest and name it something like miss or Mr so and so naming them from where they come from. Some of the things you ha e mentioned are similar to what we do back in our country as well They ar3 usually asked questions regarding the place they come from and if the judge’s are happy with their answers then they ar3 crowned with a tiara for the girl with flowers and so on and so for the. Then a celebration follows.there after.

        I love the chewy bites and chocolate chips, that is gorgeous!

        Raisins need to be mixed with rum so that won’t sink.

I don’t know about green tea because I personally find it bitter is that a good idea really?

    Most patients with high blood pressure hate the taste of bitter medicine.

    This apply the same theory for exercise, anything that is related to physical activities, people with high blood pressure are giving […]

    • thanks very much. I believed that exercise benefits for everyone, regardless with or without illness

    • Yes, there are many exercises for high blood pressure that may be done at home. If you already have hypertension, regular physical activity can bring your blood pressure down to safer levels. The best types of exercise for lowering blood pressure include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or dancing. Strength training also can help reduce blood pressure.

      Exercise in our culture may not “just happen.” When your daily routine includes hours of sitting at a desk using computers and browsing the internet, staying current with television shows and using countless labor-saving devices, you can easily fall into inactivity. But taking charge of your fitness may be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. The choice is yours.

      For overall health benefits to the heart, lungs and circulation, perform any moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity using the following guidelines:

      For most healthy people, get the equivalent of at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) per week of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking.
      If you need to lower your blood pressure or cholesterol, aim for 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity 3 to 4 times per week.
      You can incorporate your weekly physical activity with 30 minutes a day on at least 5 days a week.
      Physical activity should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and preferably, it should be spread throughout the week.
      Include flexibility and stretching exercises.
      Include muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days each week.

    • Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life. Exercise helps people lose weight and lower the risk of some diseases. Exercising to maintain a healthy weight decreases a person’s risk of developing certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. These diseases, which used to be found mostly in adults, are becoming more common in teens.Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons, including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and merely enjoyment.A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

    Everyone has problems.

    Even school-age children and teenagers faced […]

    • I wouldn’t really know what to say about it as a parent because am not one. But let me speak as a child who has been there before and who has been there for my teenage nephews and nieces. Many are the times parents have a problem with their teenage kids, because maybe they’re too harsh or are you busy to listen to them. I remember when my nephew was in high school he had a hard time talking to his dad because he believed that what he said is what stays, but little did he know that he was pushing away his son without his knowledge. His mum died when he was still a young boy so he became so close to me and I became his “mum”.he would open up to me and I would advice him accordingly. So I felt that th3 dad did not give him time or an ear to hear what he had to say it share and that can be very dangerous in a growing child. So I agree with you on the 4 points and if parents could just spare some quality time with their kids they wouldn’t be having problems like saying that don’t wanna go to school.

    • Children face three types of problems at homes and schools: psychological, psychical and mental. Mental problem is genetically, physical problem is by birth and psychological problem starts with home atmosphere. First child is brought up st homes and after this children go children go schools to improve home education.

      If children face any type of problem at school its root lies at home and not at school. Parents are supposed to to bring up heir children in a peaceful atmosphere so that they could face any problem at school because its hinders the children’s educational progress.

      Ups and downs at school are part of life for many young people. A good relationship with your child’s school and teachers can help you head off problems. If school problems do come up, it’s important that you quickly recognise and address them.

      School problems can show up as poor academic performance, lack of motivation for school, loss of interest in school work, or poor relationships with peers or teachers.

      School difficulties range from minor to severe, might be very short-lived or last for longer. Even short-term school problems can have a negative impact on how young people feel about school – and themselves.
