Take a walk down History lane this summer at Corregidor

As the Philippines celebrates its heroes –April 7this Tribute to Veterans Day, and April 9th is Araw ng Kagitingan or National Heroes’ Day — it is good to remember Corregidor and Bataan. These two places have become synonymous with Filipino and American courage and determination in protecting our freedom. Here are some things to recall about these two historical sites:

  

1) Both Bataan and Corregidor are legendary in the history of war. Despite relentless attacks by Japanese forces in 1942, and without reinforcements coming from the United States, Filipino and American troops fought back for several months.

2) Bataan fought from January 7, 1942 until April 9, 1942 after being overwhelmed by superior Japanese firepower and troop numbers. After some 76,000 Filipino and American troops surrendered, they were forced to walk around 96 to more than 100 kilometers from Bataan to Capas, Tarlac. This was the infamous Bataan Death March.

3) From December 29, 1941 until May 6, 1942, the Japanese Imperial Army attacked Corregidor and dropped thousands of bombs on the island. On May 6, the leader of all US and Filipino Allied forces in Asia, Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright, led his men in their surrender to the Japanese. They fought as long and as hard as humanly possible.

4) Corregidor Island is the site of the Pacific War Memorial. The Memorial has the Dome of Peace, and a sculpture called the Eternal Flame of Freedom. There’s also the Pacific War Memorial Museum that houses World War 2 memorabilia.  It is now considered as the world’s biggest war museum.

Corregidor is now an eco-tourism site managed and operated by the Corregidor Foundation, Inc. (CFI) under its current chairperson and CEO, Ms. Cynthia Carrion.  It is strongly supported for development and marketing by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) under the aegis of Department of Tourism (DOT).

Currently, Corregidor is undergoing more improvements following a 10-month tourism masterplan by Palafox Associates.

The DOT, TPB and CFI jointly manage Corregidor to remind us not so much of the horrors of war but rather, how high a price we must pay for our freedom and how we must all work to keep the peace.

Walking down history lane is made more engaging in Corregidor by taking the guided tram tour of the island and passing through the Malinta tunnel with lights and sounds show which one should not miss.

As an eco-tourism site, Corregidor is not just a repository of history but an island full of fun and excitement.  A fully functional beach resort and camp sites are available for families and friends to relive history, relax and unwind. Indeed, history is made more fun in the Philippines!For more information, go to http://www.corregidorisland.com.ph/  

The fight for better health services continues for Mr. Healthcare Senator JV Ejercito

For the regular readers of my blog, you know that in my previous life, long before I joined the blogging world, I worked at one of the biggest private hospitals in Manila.



I was as one of the admitting officers in what we called the “Panic Room” because everyone who came in to the admissions department was either panicking or in a state of panic. And we couldn’t blame them because even if we were one of the biggest and most advanced hospitals back then, getting a room / or bed was almost as hard as finding a seat at the MRT during rush hour.

There were patients coming in droves from the Emergency Room, expectant mothers who’ll tell you that their water just broke and are about to give birth, and others who come in from different hospitals. We were always at full capacity and it was hard to allocate the rooms for the Medical, Pediatric and OB patients.



What’s even harder is trying to explain to the patient and their companions that we couldn’t just put them in any room as there were different wards for different kinds of illnesses. Or that we were still waiting for the outgoing patients to settle their bills, or that there was simply not going to be any available room for the rest of the day. Even if you had the money.



Sometimes, patients would have to wait for as long as 5 to 6 hours. There was even a time, when a patient had to wait the entire day just to get a room.



In my years of working in the admissions department, we would also have to deal with patients who were endorsed by public hospitals. The reason for this is either the lack of medical equipment like oxygen tanks, there were no specialization doctors for the patient re- diagnosis, some would need to be moved to the ICU or there were no NICU rooms available for babies.

The recently approved Universal HealthCare Law authored by Senator JV Ejercito might not solve all the problems being faced by hospitals, but it would surely benefit every Filipino who is in dire need of access to proper health care coverage and services.



He considered the ratification of UHC as “a victory for all Filipinos and a sound accomplishment that truly reflects his commitment to uplift the condition of the people. “No Filipino will be left out because under the UHC, all Filipinos are covered under the national health insurance program,” said the senator.

This was one of the reasons why Senator JV Ejercito has taken up the mantle of Mr. Healthcare as he seeks reelection in the senate. At a recent dinner he hosted for friends last March 28 at Lazat Restaurant in QC, he stressed that having the law signed by President Rodrigo Duterte was just the beginning of an even bigger challenge for him, and that is to make sure that the Universal Health Care Bill law will not just be a landmark law on paper, but something that will improve the lives of all Filipinos.

The law automatically enrolls all Filipinos to the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) and ensures all Filipinos are guaranteed equitable access to quality and affordable health goods and services and protection against financial risks.

Under the measure, membership in the NHIP will be classified as “direct contributors” or those who have the capacity to pay premiums, or “indirect contributors” or those sponsored by the government such as indigents, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.

The law also grants every Filipino “immediate eligibility” and access to preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitative, and palliative health services, delivered either as population-based or individual-based health services.



Senator JV Ejercito, adds that the law would expand PhilHealth coverage, which would include free medical checkups, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic services.



All graduates of health-related courses who are recipients of government-funded scholarship programs will be required to serve for at least 3 years in the public sector, he said.



Funds for public health coverage will be pooled from the incremental sin tax collections, charity fund from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), income from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), premium contribution of members, annual appropriations of the Department of Health (DOH), and government subsidy to PhilHealth.


As a lawmaker he has authored 41 ENACTED LAWS;  6 Bills Pending Signature And Approval By The President; 173 BILLS, 17th Congress; 40 RESOLUTIONS during the 17th Congress.


If Ejercito wins a second term, the senator adds he would also focus on creating laws to support infrastructure development and railway system. Infrastructure he said is key to furthering the development of the economy and the country. 



In previous interview Senator JV repeatedly underscored the relevance of a modern railway system to the economic growth of the country, saying that “only an efficient, reliable, cost-effective, environment-friendly and modern railway system which moves people and goods faster can be the catalyst for economic growth.”

He again expressed his commitment to revive and improve the existing Railways both in the northern and southern parts of the country and has been very vocal about his vision of having a modern, efficient railway system for the country even when he was the Representative of San Juan City in the 15th Congress.



“One of the reasons why I support President Duterte is because he is the only President in the recent years to commit and spend P3 trillion for infrastructures in the next six years. We have a growing population, now stands at 105 million; and 30,000 new vehicles are added to our streets every month- that’s around one million vehicles in the next three years.



“We need to push for our railway projects, particularly the PNR-North, PNR- South, Mindanao railways system, and now the Metro Manila Subway System.

“For me, railway is the only way. I’m glad that the President has the political will to really push for this. He has the political will to bite the bullet kahit medyo maghihirap muna tayo, konting trapik, pero dapat nating gawin.”



The only way we can spread out development to the countryside and, at the same time, decongest Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao, is through infrastructure development and transport modernization. 



I think the Philippines is 30 years behind in terms of infrastructure development. We have a lot of catching up to do. Kung gusto natin ng tunay na hanapbuhay, if we want genuine exclusive growth, we really have to invest in infrastructure and transport modernization, Sen JV pointed out.

FOX gives a good scare with it’s first ever locally-produced horror film Maledicto

Home to the most popular series and Hollywood movies, FOX is about to delight viewers yet again with their newest must-watch.

Fox Networks Group Philippines is poised to give us a good scare with it’s first ever locally-produced horror film Maledicto, set to show in cinemas nationwide this coming May 1. Co-produced by Cignal Entertainment and Unitel, and directed by Mark Meily, Maledicto is a chilling tale that will surely get under your skin.

Senior Vice President and General Manager of FOX Networks Group Philippines, Jude Turcuato, shares his excitement for the upcoming film:

"Maledicto is a really big feat for FNG, being the first ever film we’ve produced locally, with an all-Filipino cast at that. With Maledicto under our belt, we’re hoping to elevate Filipino cinema to one of a Hollywood pedigree.”

Maledicto stars Tom Rodriguez as Father Xavi, a former psychologist who becomes a skeptical exorcist following the tragic death of his sister, Mara (played by Inah de Belen). He meets Sister Barbie (played by Jasmine Curtis-Smith), a young nun who has the gift of charism. Together, they face the case of Agnes (Miles Ocampo), a seemingly perfect teenager who starts manifesting demonic behaviour that rocks the foundations of the church.

Other cast members include Eric Quizon, Martin Escudero, Franco Laurel, Nonie Buencamino, Liza Lorena, and Menggie Cobarrubias.

Watch here maledicto

The lead actors have also expressed enthusiasm on being part of FOX’s first film, saying it was an opportunity to play roles that stray from the norm of romance and loveteams. They have happily accepted the challenge, and are excited to bring the characters to life.

Turcuato adds, “We have always prided ourselves in creating original content that would speak to our audience on a personal level, and I feel that Maledicto will do just that, because faith and belief are things that are innate in almost everyone. More than a horror movie, it is an invitation to look inside ourselves and assess what we truly believe in. We hope that this film will offer a fresh perspective.”

Maledicto premieres May 1 in cinemas nationwide. Watch the official trailer here.

5 budget-friendly snacks to keep hunger pangs at bay

In case of an attack of the munchies, it’s convenient to have something in your desk drawer you can snack on. Not enough to make you full, but just enough to keep hunger pangs at bay. 
But snacking is a habit that can get unhealthy, or even expensive.

The trick is to snack smart. Here are a few suggestions we have:

Brownies
The ultimate treat, brownies pack a punch as a snack. They’re comforting and soft and sweet, and it’s easy to chow down on a whole plateful at a time. But to snack smart, choose pre-portioned packs like Super Delights Brownie Bites. They are individually wrapped, with each perfectly-portioned serving kept fresh and ready to enjoy in a pillow pack. They also pair well with that most common of office beverages, coffee.

Nut packs 
A small dish of nuts can be nutritious, tasty, and just distracting enough to free your mind from the stress of a task you’re trying to figure out. They’re great for sharing, and they are mess-free. Just make sure that you reseal the bag or box when you’ve had enough, because opened snack packs might attract ants and other pests to your work station.

Biscuits and crackers
These stiff little breads are perfect for a quick bite. They can be anything from sweet to savory, and you can find all sorts of biscuits in different flavors. They also often come in individual portions, so it’s easy to watch how many you eat. They’re also available in healthier options such as low-salt and whole wheat, so if you’re on a diet, these are a great snack option.

Dried fruit
While fruit is great and can sit on your desk for a while, it does tend to be a little messy. The solution? Grab some real dried fruit or fruit leathers and pack them in a zip lock bag to slip into your drawer at work. They keep for a couple of weeks, and they provide nutrition, fiber, and an extra zing of sugar to keep you going.

Bread 
From plain buns to muffins to the beloved mamon—bread makes a great filling snack.  You can get them in single packs or in bulk for you to exercise your own form of portion control. You can choose to go whole wheat if you are looking for a healthier option, too. However, be sure to consume these snacks soon, because bread goes stale quicker than most snack options.

With all the snack options available to you, there’s no reason to go hungry during a long shift at work! So stock up your drawers and feel free to nibble away as you work!

Super Delights Brownie Bites is made from premium, high-quality ingredients and is available at leading groceries and supermarkets nationwide.

Delight in the all new Goldilocks Lenten Meal Bundles!

Lent is a time for penance and reflection. Catholics from all over the Philippines practice the Lenten tradition of abstinence: which is the act of giving up something important as a form of sacrifice in order to adhere to one’s religious beliefs.

Among the many forms of abstinence, the most popular is the act of giving up meat and choosing to eat alternatives such as vegetables and seafood.

In order to aid the needs of Lenten abstainers, Goldilocks, the country’s number one bakeshop is happy to introduce their all new Lenten Meal Bundles! A collection of Seafood and Vegetable dishes catered specifically to hungry Filipinos during this season of Lent.
