What a huge BS!
I have TOLD more than once about FEW typhons, which have passed Palawan since 1964...
But there are no earthquakes at Palawan. Do you have any BS to say about that too?聽 聽
I am planning to visit Siargao next.聽
Not necessarily news but it is聽 a welcome sight.聽 聽

Just make me miss a lot not to be able to fly there now....

Yes, a lot of earthquakes in the Philippines of different strength.聽 Except none at Palawan, which is at an other plate.

聽 聽Hot off the press.聽 It is a news article about a site that says more Pinays than Pinoys go visit.聽
Check daily your bank balances online to be able to report any suspicious activities ASAP.聽 But also be careful if you do this in public computers like those in internet cafes as you might leave in cache memory your login credentials.

Inquirer website is terrible on that.聽 聽
Anyways, the report stated:
"Last week, hundreds of BDO depositors reported unauthorized fund transfers from their accounts to fictitious Union Bank of the Philippines (Unionbank) accounts.
Unionbank earlier said it had already identified six 鈥減ersons of interest鈥 and frozen P5 million worth of funds."

Lots of tertiary reasons!
This woman violated her quarantine even though tagged as positive for omicron to attend Holiday parties.聽 聽Around 15 were infected by her.聽
I know it can be hard because 10-14 days quarantine is a significant time not being able to do anything from one's limited vacation time (e.g., 3 weeks vacation will go down to just 1 week).聽 Still, the rule must be followed for good of all.

It would be some odd to go somewhere needing 10 - 14 days quarantine if the total available time would be 3 weeks...

Pinas Stock Exchange named best in SEA.
Connections or not, the Covid pandemic abides by no discretion.
it will infect anyone who comes into contact with a covid-positive person (presuming they have not been vaxxed). And no amount of 'connection power' is going to stop you from being at risk.
what is the point or purpose of a quarantine if you're not going to abide by the medical rules? it is for your own safety and for the safety of others....clearly this dumb shit little girl doesn't care about either, knowing she was positive. it should be considered a crime, and i hope she faces just punishment for her actions.
Gardo Fuentes wrote:Another fantastic news!聽 Woohoo!聽 Pinas is off to a great start this year.
Pinas Stock Exchange named best in SEA.
??? How are the other Stock Exchanges in SEA then?聽
If it isnt changed and if the info I got some years ago is correct:
/companies dont need to tell how many shares they have!!! This make it impossible to value each share by valuing the company and divide with amount of shares
/and they can even make new more shares WITHOUT giving option to all share holders to get/sign a proprtional amount to what each have!!! so the value of the owned shares can drop without any control of common share holders...!!!
Although good things for share holders are comparingly low tax at dividents and tax at gaining when selling shares聽 聽

Time to revisit PAL in-flight security video:
Good thin the exchange rate is moving in the right direction.聽 P51.3.

I would advise for people to wait to recover lost money first before selling and investing in business.聽 The best time to start a business is when capital is at all-time-high.

But I havent lost any money because I followed my own advice聽
聽 and stayed out "western" investments.聽

Well. Possible sometimes,
but:
1. There are more bargains to buy when economies are low.
2. Depending of business type, but often better be started some before tops, because
聽 聽 a)聽 get rather high market a longer time if starting some earlier
聽 聽 b)聽 the business would be trimmed in when reaching the top.
The lower static costs, the easier to make ok timing.
((E g the business type I am buying for very low bargain prices now, cost very litle if just resting, almost no costs, except the work to get the old owner errors solved. I mean until we realy start production.))

The OP thread has several tentacles so I will comment on this one from my own experience. Having two jabs of Sinovac and one confirmed case of Covid-19. About a week ago I began feeling sick and the first symptoms of the Delta and Omicron is they mimic the common cold. Reading there has been cases of people getting Covid a second time, I started to get worried.
Sore throat, high temperature, stuffed up nose, aches and pains. Before I got sick I sent my son to the Pharmacy to restock our supply of Paracetamol which was running low. He said the pharmacy was out of stock. Now another son & my daughter-in-law work at different malls so I asked them to make a purchase, each one of them were able to buy only one single blister pack with 20 pills. (Pharmacy rationing)
So is there a supply chain shortage or a public run on Paracetamol, can this be associated with Covid?
Well I'm feeling much better today, I will never know if I had a cold or mild case of Covid. I have not been out of the house since Christmas, so I have know idea how I got sick.
Omicron sounds like a name for a football stadium.

It's cold and flu season.聽 Shortage of paracetamol could be due to people needing it for the common cold or flu. But because some of the symptoms of Covid are similar to cold and flu, no one really knows which one they got if the symptoms disappeared after a few days.
Glad you are feeling better. A lot of people are experiencing, or have experienced, the same symptoms as you. My assistant and her family, some of kids' teachers and some of their classmates have or have had it. No one got tested for covid since the symptoms disappeared after a few days. My nephew's school had suspended classes for a week for a "health break," as more than half of teachers and students are sick.
"Omicron" sounds like a sci-fi movie to me, like Tron or Ad Astra or The Matrix.
