Why is it easier for a mobster to come to Canada & stay?
How did this LCP program became enmeshed in the TFW issue anyway?
I read in a newspaper that Minister Jason Kenney complaining that the Live-in Caregiver program has mutated into a Family Reunification Program. Let me see this. These caregivers become permanent residents. According to the rules of Canada, they can then petition their family here. So, that is what thousands of permanent residents did. Now, the government is complaining. That is like creating a program wherein you pay less taxes if you do this or that. Then, you complain when a lot of people get in the program to be able to pay less taxes. As for the TFW, why are they trying to come up with new rules just because they caught some employers either abusing the system or their temporary workers? Now, suddenly, the LCP program is going to be overhauled? Uhm...Let me think of a question. WHY? If you are on a plane and one of the four engines die, you do not replace the whole airplane. As far as I know, you just replace the engine. So, why is it easier for an Italian mobster to come to Canada and stay than it is for a caregiver to work their ass off and stay?
24-Hour Hospital Visitation?
I read in the newspapers lately that some hospitals are considering 24-hour hospital visitation privileges. I am not sure this is
a good idea. There is a time to sleep and a time to entertain visitors. If the patient is in a private room, that is fine. If not, then, it will bother the other patient who will then complain to the nurse on duty and the whatever skeletal staff at the hospital will just end up doing peace and order or mediation instead of medical and health- related duties. Even if the patient is in a private room, the visitors will keep asking the on-duty nurse for everything.This 24- hour visitation is not a good idea.
Bring Food
If there is one thing that all patients welcome, is that you bring normal food. Hospital food is not delicious, we all know that. They are not meant to be. It is not the Four Seasons Hotel. So, as caring, loving family and friend, what do we bring? We bring high-fat, cholesterol-inducing but delicious food, to patient who just underwent heart surgery. We are unbelievable. Ironically, they are the delicious meal that the patient will eat. What can we do? That is what every patient likes. Don’t lie. You hate hospital food too.
You got to be there
Well, anywhere. If you are a parent and it is summer, you have to bring your children somewhere besides Ontario and Buffalo. They need to be able to tell their classmates they went somewhere or else mukhang kawawa. It reminded me what my sister said a long time ago. Buffalo is not far enough. I was talking to Rob Bella and this si what he said. The closes both of us can think of is Atlantic City in New Jersey. There’s beach for the kids, gambling for the adults and shopping for all, except the wallet of the parents of course.
Send balikbayan boxes early
Unlike here in canada when there was a strike at the port of Vancouver, the federal government got involved to resolve the issue quickly becasue it affects the economy oif the whole country. Prices will go up, people will complain, to anyone and eryone. Unfortunately, the national government in the does not see the the truck ban for a few hours. by the city of Manila as a national problem. The result is a shippping jam where container ships are parked in Taiwan until they get the go ahead. So, to all senders of balikbayan boxes, send your boxes early because it will be delayed. Do not blame the Door to Door companies when the time comes. I am already sending you a friendly reminder that the DTD companies in Toronto will not be able to do anything. Unfortuantely, the Port of Manila is in Manila, where the truck ban rules apply. DUH! The port does 90% of the business for the whole Philippines. I am not sure about the figure pero I am sure almost all exports and imports pass by the port of Manila.

Visitacion Parado, (born July 2, 1961) who is better known by her screen name Tetchie Agbayani, is a Filipina movie and television actress, Mutya ng Pilipinas, psychology instructor and Playboy model. She appeared in a regular issue of German Playboy and a special American edition entitled “Women of the World”. She is featured daily on the Filipino TV Channel where she stars in soap operas.
Agbayani was born on July 2, 1961 to a Roman Catholic family. She studied high school at the University of Santo Tomas before enrolling in the University’s Bachelor of Science in Architecture program in 1979. She eventually dropped from the program due to showbiz commitments.
In the United States, Agbayani was able to pursue acting in Hollywood. She appeared in international productions, sometimes credited as Carol Roberts. Among her films include John Boorman’s The Emerald Forest (1985) and an entertaining cameo in The Money Pit (1986). Like other Asian actresses, Tetchie found herself limited by stereotyping, leading her to accept parts in critically reviled productions such as Gymkata (1985). Critics would regard her best performance to be that of a geologist in the Australian film Rikky and Pete (1988), directed by Nadia Tass, in which she displayed a flair for comedy. Agbayani also appeared in an episode of the British television series Yellowthread Street.
On television, she played the tragic heroine “Sisa” in Eddie Romero’s Noli Me Tangere, based on the novel by Philippine national hero Dr. José Rizal.
In 1989, Agbayani returned to the Philippines and took time out from her career to give birth to her daughter, China. During this period, Agbayani devoted her whole time as a mother, living a quiet, private life for several years.
In 1995, Agbayani resumed her education and enrolled in Saint Joseph’s College, Quezon City. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2000. In 2001, she was accepted into the Master of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in Counseling Psychology program at Ateneo de Manila University. She completed all academic requirements and is now working on her master’s thesis. She is also teaching Psychology at Saint Joseph’s College, Quezon City, while doing occasional TV and film appearances.
In 2006, Agbayani became the focus of the local media when her newfound role as actress-turned Playboy model-turned psychology teacher was revealed to the public. Graduating from college at age 39, teaching at age 43, and taking master’s at age 44, Agbayani was seen as a living inspiration to people who were not able to finish college for some reason. Agbayani continues to appear in television programs, magazines, and newspaper dailies, giving motivational talks on how she managed to pull her life together despite all the odds. She has expressed intention to be a full-time psychology teacher while being a part-time actress. She also plans to obtain a Ph.D. in Psychology, start clinical practice, and write a column where she can give free psychological counseling to letter-senders and the general public.
