I made Minestrone soup for lunch today. Great with homemade bread.

Not for me, but the Express Lane people may have had at lunch or my wife got special treatment.

We were up there this week doing our Beverly Hillbillies routine, frig and washer and who knows what else in the back of the truck, with people hanging out the sides! Im sure the people from Masbate City look at us and make fun of the people from the bulkit! Thanks for the offer. They’re supposed to come next week to connect, but who knows?!

I have to get a PCR test before flying out of Cebu in a few weeks. Can anyone here recommend a clinic which does the test and can email the results within say 24 hours of the test? Preferably in the Fuente Circle area. Thanks!

Thanks!

Right. Absolutely. Excuse me while I go and strip down the kitchen sink drain to find out why it’s leaking…

Medicines routinely exert evolutionary pressure on pathogens, it's how we got resistant strains of bacteria as well. How is this surprising? The other option is we never invent penicillin. Think it over.

That's good to hear. Have to renew my passport in 4 months or so and wasn't looking forward making a trip to the Consulate.

US To Boost Military Presence On Island Nation To Counter China Threat The U.S. and the Philippines are nearing an agreement to allow the U.S. military expanded presence on the island’s military bases as both countries eye China’s increasing threat to stability in the Pacific region, The Washington Post reported, citing officials. The upcoming deal will upgrade access for units of the U.S. armed forces to Philippine military bases and include enhanced cooperation on a variety of security issues, such as rapid natural disaster response, the Post reported, citing U.S. and Philippine of

Right. If anyone is interested in Rotary, I would be more than happy to share more info how to get involved.

I don't believe the US will care anything about where the traveler has been or what other citizenships they may hold. Only that they have proper documentation to enter. For all anyone knows, they could have been born in the RP, received their passport via CRBA, and this is their first ever Int'l travel.

I did mine in Cebu 2? years ago. Cost was around p1600 and they would not accept it until 1 week before flight. It did come back in time and I collected my new card on return.

I agree with the comments of Paddy. Using the bank is a secure and reliable way of conducting a money transaction like this. If the bank is your own, sometimes the manager will allow for a preferred customer rate, thus offsetting some of your concern about exchange rate. As well, larger banks with a meeting room may even allow you use of their space to conduct your transaction with privacy.

It's the LA Times, what did you expect.

Last couple years it's been on local TV.

He was reputed to be the cheapest one can ever imagine. As I remember he had taken advantage of another young lady, sent her home with some tomatoes as I remember.

here’s a stat: the nine richest billionaires in the Philippines have more wealth than half of the entire country’s population, or 55 million Filipinos, Oxfam International said in its latest Survival of the Richest report. The report said that in the Philippines, the poor are unable to recover from the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the high prices of goods such as red onions. “Inequality experienced in the Philippines is starker with the nine richest Filipinos having more wealth than the bottom half or 55 million of the population,” Oxfam Pilipinas Executive Director

Obviously, some of the stories here definitely count as "failures". But I don't think "success" necessarily equates to going to college and getting a good job. There's a seventeen-year-old girl in my extended family who was often in our house, so I know her very well. She was in high school, final year I think. Her mother is single, and could hardly have afforded to send her to college. And we haven't got money to pay for anyone except our own children. Anyway, she has a boyfriend and got pregnant. She's now gone to live with the boy and his parents in another town. The boy has a job in a

The wife has it for the second time. Is there anything I can give the family to help prevent getting it from their mother?
