SENATOR KOKO PIMENTEL IS COVID-19 POSITIVE

Senator Koko Pimentel, a bar topnotcher, is considered a PUM (Person under Monitoring) since the day he and fellow senators were exposed to a resource person who tested CoViD-19 positive during a Senate hearing last March 5, 2020.

On March 9, 2020, the good senator had a meeting with his Senate staff.

On March 10 & 11, he attended a birthday party. 

On March 11, the Senate adjourned session for Holy Week.

From March 11 onwards, the Senators who attended that March 5 hearing were notified to observe a 14-day self-quarantine period because of their exposure to a resource person at the Senate last March 5.

Last March 14, he experienced body pains like flu,  minor cough, slight sore throat and on-and-off diarrhea.

On March 16, his colleague Senator Miguel Zubiri were tested CoViD-19 positive.

Last March 18, he experienced a slight fever which shifted his status to PUM (Person Under Monitoring). 

On March 20, he took a CoViD-19 test.

Last night, March 24 at around seven pm the Honorable Senator Koko Pimentel breached the protocol of his stringent home quarantine and went to the #MakatiMed delivery room together with his wife Katrina who is about to give birth to a baby girl. By doing so, the Senator exposed the doctors, nurses, anaesthetiologist and other patients as well to #Covid19 He was also seen on CCTV walking around the hospital without a facemask.

On the same day, March 24 at around 9 pm, he got a call from RITM (Research Institute for Tropical Medicine) that he was CoViD-19 positive. He immediately left #MMC.

Hashtag #LawmakerLawbreaker 😢 trended because of this incident.

Ignorance of the law excuses no one! Please practice what you preach 🙏🙏🙏 Dura lex sed lex.

Idol ko pa Naman ang tatay mo 😢 😭

Update: He admitted his fault and apologized. Get well Senator Koko Pimentel. Praying for your fast recovery.🙏

Congratulations to your upcoming third baby. Please make it up to your people. Please remember, the Filipino people idolizes you that's why you won a Senate seat. 

God bless the Philippines. May this CoViD-19 virus disappear in the entire world.

CoViD-19 Mass Testing Equipment Badly Needed

#MassTesting please🙏

Downplaying the possibility of an outbreak had caused the lives of the citizens of different countries all over the world.

I know that you know that the numbers of CoViD-19 positive Filipinos are significantly lower than the actual unknown numbers of infected people in the Philippines.

Some badly hit countries like South Korea did mass testing and offer it drive-thru style and they were able to flatten the curve so far.

A small town called Vo in Italy did one hundred percent testing of its residents and they were able to separate 90 CoViD-19 positive residents and put them in quarantine.  So far since March 13 Wala pa Po silang new cases. See this Facebook post

COVID testing is critical to protect the frontliners and our love ones but it’s not the only way to contain the virus. But it is very very important.

I am a nobody. I don't have a clout. I don't have power. But I am knocking at the heart of human beings. Nanawagan Po ako at kumakatok Sa mga puso ng bawat Isa Sa inyo. Sa mga may pera Sana magdonate Po kayo ng laboratory at CoViD-19 testing equipment. Hindi ako lider. Our leaders had failed to act swiftly. To our leaders please act now! There's still time pa po please SAVE LIVES! 

I know for a fact that with our very limited resources dito Sa Pilipinas napakabigat ng wish ko na Ito.

If positive ka or ako ayaw mo rin makahawa di ba? Sa puso ko, sa isip ko gusto Kong maprotektahan Ang Mahal ko Sa buhay. Sana Yun din ang nais mo. 

🙏 Please Po, I am appealing to those with vast resources maybe this is your chance to do good to others. Please buy an equipment, set up a laboratory. Do mass testing. Impossible? No, if we unite together.

#MassTestingPHNow 🙏🙏🙏

"Openness, transparency.  Early detection is the key to save lives" - South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha

“Inaction is the worst action of human beings!”- 
Mehmet Murat ildan

Please do Mass testing for those with comorbidities, PUI's, PUM's and frontliners including high risk individuals like the laundry attendants who wash the clothes of doctors and nurses because they no longer have enough energy to wash their clothes. Those cashiers, guards, baggers who serve you in your local grocery and supermarkets.  Do you want the virus to be transferred to you when you get your change and hold your groceries?

Human beings please do something! Save lives. Let's be kind to one another. Let's unite and make the impossible possible. 

Remember kapag CoViD-19 positive ka may mahahawa ka!

BELA PADILLA: Personally Distributed Food to Our Kababayans

Bela Padilla is beautiful inside and out.  She raised Php3.3 Million in just two days to help aid our displaced street vendors , front liners and military.

Bela Padilla followed Community quarantine and isolated herself but got heartbroken when she read on social media the state of some of our fellow Filipinos because of the lockdown due to COVID-19 virus that affected the whole wide world including the Philippines.

She risked exposure to Corona virus by personally distributing the food packs they prepared. But you can see the happiness that radiates in her eyes. Genuine and kind I would again ask you this question: Bela, what it is that you cannot do?

Krista Elyse Hidalgo Carino Sullivan, better known by her stage name Bela Padilla, is a Filipino actress, film producer, screenwriter, occasional host, and model.

Mabuhay ka Bela!

Boracay Bliss: A Sun Villa Beachfront Resort Getaway

Hey everyone! We love Boracay! Boracay, Philippines beaches were pristine, tans were golden, and worries seemed to melt away like ice cream on a hot day. Buckle up, because we're visiting our incredible Boracay getaway from February 26 to 28, 2020!

Our home base for this mini-adventure was the Sun Villa Beachfront Resort located at Station 1 in Boracay.  

Let our travelonshoestring team tell you, this place was paradise found. Stepping out of our room, the sound of crashing waves and the salty breeze instantly put us in vacation mode. The beach was just a few steps away, perfect for morning walks with the soft sand between my toes and the calming sound of the ocean.

The budget hotel is located in the very ideal location of Station one and very near D'mall of station two.

It is just a stone throw away from the white sand beach of Boracay. We spent our days soaking up the sun, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and trying out all the fun water activities Boracay has to offer.

Of course, no Boracay trip is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. We feasted on fresh seafood dishes, tried our hand at the local dishes, and sipped on refreshing mango shake while watching the sunset paint the sky in a million colors.

This Boracay trip was an unforgettable experience. Sun Villa Beachfront Resort provided the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure.

P.S. Boracay'sbmagic is still there. Always be a responsible tourist and help preserve the beauty of this island paradise!

PAPA PIOLO PASCUAL'S MONEY TIPS

"Lack of money, being broke, and constant worry over how to pay the bills does indeed put significant stress on both relationships and happiness. Lack of money can easily end both".

Overseas Filipinos can learn a thing or two or even more from our kabayan Papa P or Piolo Pascual. Everyone knows that he is very smart when it comes to money matters.

BDO Remit brand ambassador Piolo Pascual is very proud of his life as an Overseas Filipino (OF). While it was very challenging, he said his life abroad was full of valuable lessons, which helped him achieve financial freedom.

People may not know that Piolo temporarily left showbiz at age 19 to join his mom and other siblings in California, USA. There, he juggled two jobs, working as a hospital staff during the day and as a security guard in downtown Los Angeles at night. He was working almost 16 hours a day, only to make ends meet.

“It was hard at first because I was blocked out of the life that I had here. I was already an actor back then living a different lifestyle. When I migrated to the US, I had to start from scratch. I had to work right away or else I wouldn’t have any food on the table,” he said of his early struggles.

“My sister and I were just renting a place. My mom, who lives in the same community, would drop by once in a while to give us food. But even so, we still had to fend for ourselves. I had two jobs because my salary was not enough to pay for my insurance, my car, my rental, my food, and allowance,” Piolo added. 

Two years after moving to the states, he decided to go back home. He wanted to give acting another try. While his years as an OF didn’t last long, he credits much of his success to the valuable lessons he learned while living and working abroad. 

“I wouldn’t be what I am today if it weren’t for the hardships I went thru as an OF. I learned to work very hard to be able to pay for things but at the same time, I learned not to spend beyond my means. It really takes discipline to be practical and not buy things that you really do not need,” he said. 

Piolo did not only work hard to earn his keep, he worked doubly hard to protect it. He shared he remains a very practical person, who would rather spend on things that would bring in returns, than on material possessions.

More importantly, he learned that part of protecting your hard-earned money is choosing the right remittance partner, one that not only promises convenience but security as well. 

“My mom was already in the US when we were growing up. At that time, it was so hard for us to get money from her for our schooling. We would then go to an agency, which would charge us with all sorts of fees. BDO really changed the landscape of remittance. They made it easy for Filipinos overseas to send money to their loved ones,” he said. 

As a former OF, Piolo said he knows how much our kababayans abroad sacrifice just to be able to provide for their families back home and so he cautions OFs against sending money to just any remittance agency especially those they just happen to see online.  

“You are entrusting your hard-earned money to others. Always go for someone who is trustworthy, who has a track record, and who has been there for a long time. The last thing that you want to happen is for your money not to reach your loved ones. That’s why I always choose BDO. With BDO, you are confident that your money will be safely remitted to your loved ones back home,” he said.
