Jen Camacho offers entertainment to home buyers
Acquiring Property from Jenifer Camacho will get you a free “Sing Along “entertainment at your House Blessing Day !!!! Jenifer Camacho shared Merle Dela Cruz Pagcaliwangan’s video. Naku Jen, this is a bad idea. Not because you are a bad singer. In fact, you are a very good singer. One is, what if you get overbooked. The other is potential competition from other realtors - male or female - who have other, ehem, sexier talents like being part time strippers or sex-trade worker like the nanny who was murdered. Not that I know any realtors who have those part time jobs. But what if people in those professions decide to be realtors? Hmmm, they can throw in their current talents to anyone who will buy a house from them. The Competition Bureau might have to get involved to regulate what can be offered by realtors to buyers or not. Ehe sus Guinoo, ano ba itong naisip ko?
stee 6,11
at your ku Jen, is, what e - who nanny people anyone egulate
Manila Flooding Solved
The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reported on its official Twitter account knee-deep floods along España, Avenue in Manila. Apparently, twitter is the solution to the flooding. They will inform you what areas are flooded so you can avoid it. And they can twit it in short sentences, even one-word sentence. In fact, this the Twit.
FLOOD ALERT: Everywhere. Direct to the point.
It was only a Matter of Time
I can’t believe that a 43 yr-old Filipina Caregiver who came to Canada recently in 2013 was moonlighting as a Prostitute or working as a sex trade worker. I am calling the attention of all my friends in media and other organizations to check this out and let the truth be heard. Most caregivers work so hard to help their families for a better life. It is not LOGICAL, It is not a typical FILIPINA caregiver, and I am sure it is SO UNTRUE!!! - Eugene Deocareza
I knew it was only a matter of time before somebody gets “shocked.” As Captain Renault in the movie Casablanca says, “I am shocked, shocked that there is gambling in this club,” then a waiter comes to him and hands him his winnings at the gambling table. Contrary to what everyone who believes in our self-made image which has become a self-perpetuating myth, we are not a noble race of caregivers, domestic helpers, and nurses. It’s not as if we came from the promised land and were chosen as disciples sent forth to convert the world.
Why she does what she does
Put yourself in her shoes. In a span of one year,
nasanay iyong nasa Pilipinas ng hingi na lang ng hingi. Then, she realized, she is already 40 and she has to keep some money for herself. She probably thought, that if this keeps up, she will not be able to save money for herself. It’s the usual reaction of the newly-arrived workers or immigrants to Canada to send big money at once to show that they are ok. Big Mistake. Send small money and keep it that way. Otherwise, the ones in the Philippines will get used to it and you will have none left for yourself. If you stop it or reduce it after years of sending, then, you will look like the bad person. Sound familiar?
Human nature is not logical
John Wayne Gacy was a successful businessman and a community leader. But he was a serial killer of children. Google his name and you’ll see who he is. Humans are different from machines. Machines are made by us so they do what we program them to do. You turn the ignition in a car and it starts, unless it is broken. Humans are ruled by a combination of emotions and intellect. Yet, there are those who try to make a science out of it like FBI profilers. But they can only try to figure why a person did something but never what a person will do.
She is not one of us
Sadly, there has been an unusual silence in the community about her murder. Nobody is shouting justice for her. Is it because she was an alleged part-time prostitute and not a nanny that we can fit into the myth we have built for ourselves as a selfless workers who have to leave our families behind to eran a living? That’s just too sad.
L. M. Confidential
Berting Labra (April 17, 1933 – February 10, 2009), born Roberto Labra, was a Filipino child star and veteran actor equally adept in comedy and drama, in action flicks and musicals.
Labra starred in Apat Na Taga in 1953. He was a child star who shared screen with Fernando Poe, Sr. in several hits, including “Palaboy ng Tadhana,” “Sagur,” “Kanto Boy,” and “Alimudin.”
He was only six years old when he made his stage debut. He was discovered by Poe Sr when he was looking for a child actor who could sing for the movie.
Labra also witnessed the murder of his father, Francisco Labra, former bantamweight and featherweight champion of the Orient, in the hands of Japanese soldiers. “He was tortured,” Labra told the Inquirer in 2005 interview.
The elder Poe became the 10-year-old’s foster father.
Five years after the elder Poe’s death, Labra, then a teenage, teamed up with Fernando “Da King” Poe Jr. in the 1965 box-office hit “Lo’ Waist Gang,” a film that spawned a string of other movies and a lifelong friendship with Da King.
In 1969, Labra and fellow action star The Late Eddie Fernandez were jailed for murder.[1] Labra spent 13 years in Muntinlupa, only to be exonerated by the Supreme Court.
Labra appeared in the 1991 action film “Manong Gang” with actor now Senator ramon ‘Bong” revilla Jr Alongside Dina Bonevie as Bong Revilla’s Leading Lady, and the late Actors Paquito Diaz and Max Alvarado. Labra’s last film, the 2007 comedy “M.O.N.A.Y ni Mr. Shooli,” co-starred actor Leo Martinez.
He appeared in supporting roles in soap operas and indie films in the Philippines.
Labra died last February 10, 2009 due to emphysema. He was 75 years old. Labra’s remains were buried in the Garden of Memories in Pateros.
