Independence Day 2012

The most significant dates in the Philippine’s history  "Independence Day"

The Philippine’s Independence day is a large celebratory event held across the country on June 12 each year. Independence Day is a day when many people, including government officials, employees, and students, participate in nationwide parades.  However, the main highlight is the police and military parade in Manila headed by the country’s incumbent president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute.  Many Filipinos spend the day in parks and malls. Many Filipino communities in other countries also observe the nation’s Independence Day celebrations.

 Wikipedia: Independence Day (Philippines)

 In the Philippines, Independence Day (Filipino: Araw ng Kalayaan) is an annual national holiday observed on June 12, commemorating the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898. It is the National Day of the Philippines.
The declaration of Philippine independence from the colonial rule of Spain concluded the Philippine Revolution. Philippine independence, however, was not recognized either by the United States or by Spain. The Spanish government later ceded the Philippine archipelago to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, and the United States granted independence to the Republic of the Philippines on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila.

Human Right Apprehend

The world is so big especially in my city of Davao. All human beings here have three lives: public, private, and secret. When a private talk over a bottle of wine is broadcast on the radio, what can it mean but that the world is turning into a concentration camp?

Pacquiao Insist He "won"

Pakyaw: No more marital strife, religion

Pacquiao -- who has won titles in eight weight classes and boasts a record of 54-3 with two draws and 38 knockouts -- has said his preparations for his last Marquez fight were hampered by marital strife, a thing of the past now that he has re-dedicated himself to God and spends his time in Bible study rather than gambling, drinking and womanizing.

"They're as happy as can be," trainer Freddie Roach said Thursday of Pacquiao and his wife, Jinkee. "He's in a much better place than he was before his last fight."

While promoter Bob Arum has characterized Pacquiao's life as "careening off the rails" prior to his spiritual re-awakening, Roach seemed to think things weren't that bad.

"He just got caught up in the limelight a little bit," Roach said. "He took a step back and looked at his life and didn't like it -- and he changed."
Roach said the change has carried over into the gym, but Bradley sounded a skeptical note this week.

"He's here, he's there, he's fornicating and now he's got his religion in place," Bradley said. "I don't have to throw religion in people's face."
Whatever the truth of Pacquiao's spiritual quest and its impact on his physical abilities, Bradley's trainer, Joel Diaz, said Saturday's fight will come down to ring skills, pure and simple.


Diaz said that's what will give his fighter a chance in what Bradley has acknowledged is the biggest bout of his life.

One-dimensional vs quickness?

"Manny is a one-dimensional fighter," Diaz claimed. "He unloads a lot of punches, but he's reckless.

"He doesn't focus on his defense. You can counter-punch him all night long. And Timothy's a brawler who can move his feet and be smart enough to make any changes he needs to in there."

Roach said Bradley isn't a slick counter-puncher and won't be able to match Pacquiao's quickness.

"He's the same fighter he was as an amateur," Roach said of Bradley. "He makes the same mistakes. We're going to take advantage of them." With Agence France-Presse

Manny Pacquiao Game Over 2012

Manny Pakyaw   lost his game this year 2012 for Split Decision from Timothy Bradley. Even my self i wasn't able to believe it or not? I just expecting a good result since Manny Pacquiao try his best and i know he is stronger than over fight before, more trainings and  a humble guy. Might be His best was not good enough or "Bias Game" over the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

  Timothy Bradley shocks the world by grinding out a split decision victory over pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao last night (Sat., June 9, 2012) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao was dominant early, landing punches in bunches and staggering Bradley with his superior speed and power. But "Desert Storm" persevered and once he caught his second wind late, he came back to win the later rounds and, ultimately, the fight. Fans are already decrying the decision and declaring the fix is in but you can judge for yourself, Maniacs. Upset? For a more detailed breakdown of the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight.

Sbarro Opens @ Abreeza Mall Davao

Sbarro Opens at Abreeza Mall Davao @ June 1, 2012

After Sbarro opened its first branch in Davao at SM City in Ecoland last March 16 in time for Araw ng Dabaw, we have been waiting for it to open a second branch in Abreeza Mall which is actually more convenient for us.

When I asked a staff of Sbarro SM Davao last month when it will open in Abreeza, he said it will be on May 25. Right After we passed by that day though they were still closed. A friend said they will open in June yet. So we were surprised to find out today June 1, and then when we wandered on the restaurant row at the second floor of Abreeza looking for a restaurant so our minds think “where we could eat lunch, I saw it was already open! Yes Indeed! As part of it we don’t time go to SM anymore to purchase  if the little boy requests to eat pizza, aside from Yellow Cab, We have another new choice if we like to eat pizza and pasta plus they also serve a few healthy salad choices. Yellow Cab is  very fame for the  past years in Davao city so it’s exciting to have a new taste and new ambiance so I keep wandering “Why many people just dropping by and get dine in Sm even though that day is inside the Store of Sm Sbarro superb heat while enjoying eating their pizza’s and pasta. I really Love the taste as I love someone in life. Whee! Well Good thing it is a little more spacious at the Sbarro Abreeza branch.

The  Davao City Council has ordered the City Hall to remove all ambulant vendors along Magallanes Street near Magallanes Elementary School (MES) that are causing obstruction to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

Davao next stop BPO Hub

Davao can become country's biggest BPO hub

THE  Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in Davao City has a high demand for additional talents to expand its workforce, needing around 3,000 to 4,000 call center agents in the next two months.

Bert Barriga, vice president for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Davao, speaking at the weekly Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City, said there's a big possibility that they can surpass their target of generating 30,000 workers by 2015.

Davao City has over 14,000 workforce for the existing BPO industry, but the demand increases with the coming of additional areas of service such as health, agriculture, finance and accounting and creative designs.

Barriga said three multinational companies are putting up business in Davao within this year, two of which will be setting up their facilities at the SM City Davao and the other one is at the Abreeza Ayala Malls.

"Two of those companies are among the biggest in the world," Barriga said.

Plan for Mayor Sara Duterte

Mayor: It’s not the running, it’s the post


DAVAO City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said Monday that her problem is not whether to run in the coming 2013 midterm elections but rather on what position.
Speaking in her weekly press briefing at her office Monday, the mayor said she is yet to meet with party and the people whom she needs to discuss her political plans.
At present, she said there are still no preparations being made among the Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod, the quasi-local political party of the mayor.

"Modagan ko, provided that sa position na gusto nako, kung unsa ‘to, kana ang dili sa nako i-sulti kay syempre wala pa may discussion, planning yet, nothing (I will run, provided that in a position that I personally like, but on what position, that I will not tell you because we still haven’t discussed anything)," Duterte-Carpio said.
