Guerrero will knock Pacquiao out
This morning,the Filipinos boxing champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao had once again proved himself as Philippines boxing pride by knocking out David "Dangerous" Diaz for the WBC Lightweight title in Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I was not able to watch the fight as I have to leave early for work. So when my friend called to tell me that Manny had won the fight, I searched the internet for the fights video. And while searching I came across this name Guerrero saying that he can't see it going past five rounds and he will knock Pacquiao out.
Did he really said that? Yes in an FitzHitz interview Guerrero says, "I'd knock him out in five rounds,". "He hasn't fought a left-hander like me who can punch and break down his style piece by piece. "No question, I think he's the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He's beaten the best and he deserves all the credit he's been given. But I still think I'd get him out of there within five rounds."
Be proud to be a Filipino
As what I usually do after getting up from bed in the morning, I went straight to my computer to check my sites ranking in search engines. But instead of doing it, I got curious of the link my fellow SEO Philippine member captainbryane sent me on YM. And I am sure that this article have made Filipinos proud all over the world that is why it is worth spreading the news.
Aside from this uplifting post created by the South East Asian Bloggers United I am sharing with you here the article written by Abdullah Al-Maghlooth of Arabnews.com. titled Imagine a world without Filipinos.
"Muhammad Al-Maghrabi became handicapped and shut down his flower and gifts shop business in Jeddah after his Filipino workers insisted on leaving and returning home. He says: “When they left, I felt as if I had lost my arms. I was so sad that I lost my appetite.”
Al-Maghrabi then flew to Manila to look for two other Filipino workers to replace the ones who had left. Previously, he had tried workers of different nationalities but they did not impress him. “There is no comparison between Filipinos and others,” he says. Whenever I see Filipinos working in the Kingdom, I wonder what our life would be without them.
Saudi Arabia has the largest number of Filipino workers — 1,019,577 — outside the Philippines. In 2006 alone, the Kingdom recruited more than 223,000 workers from the Philippines and their numbers are still increasing. Filipinos not only play an important and effective role in the Kingdom, they also perform different jobs in countries across the world, including working as sailors. They are known for their professionalism and the quality of their work.
Nobody here can think of a life without Filipinos, who make up around 20 percent of the world’s seafarers. There are 1.2 million Filipino sailors.
So if Filipinos decided one day to stop working or go on strike for any reason, who would transport oil, food and heavy equipment across the world? We can only imagine the disaster that would happen.
What makes Filipinos unique is their ability to speak very good English and the technical training they receive in the early stages of their education. There are several specialized training institutes in the Philippines, including those specializing in engineering and road maintenance. This training background makes them highly competent in these vital areas.
When speaking about the Philippines, we should not forget Filipino nurses. They are some 23 percent of the world’s total number of nurses. The Philippines is home to over 190 accredited nursing colleges and institutes, from which some 9,000 nurses graduate each year. Many of them work abroad in countries such as the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Singapore.
Cathy Ann, a 35-year-old Filipino nurse who has been working in the Kingdom for the last five years and before that in Singapore, said she does not feel homesick abroad because “I am surrounded by my compatriots everywhere.” Ann thinks that early training allows Filipinos to excel in nursing and other vocations. She started learning this profession at the age of four as her aunt, a nurse, used to take her to hospital and ask her to watch the work. “She used to kiss me whenever I learned a new thing. At the age of 11, I could do a lot. I began doing things like measuring my grandfather’s blood pressure and giving my mother her insulin injections,” she said.
This type of early education system is lacking in the Kingdom. Many of our children reach the university stage without learning anything except boredom.
The Philippines, which you can barely see on the map, is a very effective country thanks to its people. It has the ability to influence the entire world economy.
We should pay respect to Filipino workers, not only by employing them but also by learning from their valuable experiences.
We should learn and educate our children on how to operate and maintain ships and oil tankers, as well as planning and nursing and how to achieve perfection in our work. This is a must so that we do not become like Muhammad Al-Maghrabi who lost his interest and appetite when Filipino workers left his flower shop.
We have to remember that we are very much dependent on the Filipinos around us. We could die a slow death if they chose to leave us."
I am Proud to be a Filipino!
Paradise Philippines or SEO Dubai
It's the 12th week of Bayanihn SEO Philippines contest. Aside from the checkpoint being moved on November, still the contest tracking code has not been applied yet which everyone thinks that it will make it easier to know who's team is leading in Paradise Philippines.
I have not created any post that will promote Paradise Philippines for the past few weeks on this blog, but we still manage to update our paradise Philippines main entry. I'm not sure what to do now with my blog, my SERPS listing in Google, Yahoo and MSN for SEO Dubai and Dubai SEO dropped to 2nd page.
I think I will do first paradise Philippines and optimize later for SEO Dubai. We have to work more on because 1 of our entry Pinoy Designer will soon pave goodbye and we will lose some points for the contest.
Well, let's just see what will happen in the next few days.
Illusions of grandeur
by: BR Villarama
Being elite does not mean being indifferent. My grandfather used to
tell me that the richest of all people are those who do not need to
show and tell. Your achievements and what you've done should be enough
to represent who you are.
I am writing this short article at the invitation of a good friend who
is a search engine optimization expert based in Dubai. A group of overseas
Filipino workers (OFWs) are working almost 24/7 promoting Philippine
tourism to foreigners in Dubai hoping that in their small effort, they can
contribute in the development of Paradise Philippines.
He forwarded me an article written by someone who just fiercely and
fabulously destroyed herself and the papers she represented.
Her name is Malu Fernandez and her article was about her summer
vacation in Boracay and Greece. With due respect to her work as a
writer, jet setter, social butterfly, and a fashion specialist, I
could not tolerate the words she wrote about the OFWs. Read more
