Santa Claus Beats Jesus in 2010 Christmas Day Google Search

Cross-posted from Technology Logs _________________________________ It’s Christmas day for most part of the world today and so is here in the Philippines. Crowded shopping malls, traffic roads, lanterns and Christmas lights are common sign of the busy holiday. In addition, Christmas carols are in every radio stations and music players. Since, Christmas is claimed to be a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, I conducted a little test to see how people do in the internet. I would like to know how internet people think in this season. I used Google Trends , a popular web stat tool that tracks down search terms inputs in Google around the world. The result is not what most of us would expect. My expectation is that the search terms would be more like Jesus, Jesus Christ, Jesus and Mary or anything related to Jesus’ birth. Ironically, Google Trends shows that Santa Claus is the king of Christmas search. From the Google Trends ’ data, the term “where is santa claus ” is the hott

Money: BPI 10K Test on Equity Funds

Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has launched a new campaign to promote their " Equity Funds ". On their website , on the top banner section, there displayed a comparison between a bank savings (Time Deposit) and an Investment (Equity Funds). The display changes from one month to one year period after the money was laid. What you can easily notice is the relatively slow growth of the Time deposit compared to the seemingly fast growth of their Equity Funds . In the picture below, after six months, your 10 000 pesos time deposit has only 237.5 pesos increase while the same amount already have 2905.62 pesos growth if invested in their equity funds.

Money: 1% Credit Card Interest? Cool!

                                  Image via Wikipedia I just read this news about a proposal from a lawmaker to trim down the traditional 3% monthly credit card interest down to 1% . He wanted the Philippines to have a firm law to tame credit card companies. The 3% interest, according to him, based on several existing laws is "excessive, iniquitous, unconscionable, and exorbitant". Now, if ever that proposal will indeed become a law and be properly and effectively implemented, then it will bring relief to those who has been a victim of themselves when it comes to credit card use. As I have already mentioned in this blog, credit card offers lots of advantages especially at the standpoint "convenience". But as useful as it was, it also has many dangers. Credit card has been a tool that is prone to abuse leading many in an unmanageable debt that continues to grow with a huge interest rate. Let's just wait a see regarding the fate of this "cool" pr

These country initials is part of the ISO 3166 standard adopted by the ISO that defines codes for the names of countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest.

DepEd Joins PAGASA in Twitter!

Image via CrunchBase Department of Education (DepEd) recently joined PAGASA in twitter! While PAGASA is twitting weather updates, DepEd twits class suspension announcements.

Recently, several government agencies has been using social media channels to facilitate fast distribution of information. Among them are the president's office @govph , MMDA @mmda , and PAGASA @dost_pagasa . Hopefully, this move by DepEd will help solve the issues of late announcements which most students and employees have been complaining about in the past years. I personally experience many trouble because of this. Here's my experience: When I was studying in college in Manila a few years ago, I have to travel at least 2 hours from home to school everyday. So when rainy seasons come, it poses a problem. There has been several times in my five years in college when after exerting vigorous ef

PAGASA is now on Twitter!

PAGASA's twitter account is @dost_pagasa . By following @dost_pagasa , you can receive real time update from the agency regarding weather forecast, typhoon updates and other services provided by the agency. This move by PAGASA is very timely since currently, typhoon "Megi" is threatening to pass over the Philippine area of responsibility.

What's Wrong with Cebu Pacific Flight Attendants Dancing?

Image by georgeparrilla via Flickr Although generally, many people were amused by the "Dancing Flight Attendants " number from Cebu Pacific Airlines, there are also those people and groups who don't feel the same. Two of them are the Flight Attendants' and Stewards' Association of the Philippines (FASAP) and the notable women's rights group GABRIELA. Note: Cebu Pacific's attendants are not part of FASAP. Both of these groups shows concern of the incident. In a press release statement, FASAP said that they are "deeply perturbed by the recent video spreading in the internet showing dancing flight attendants while performing the safety demonstration of the flight." They reasoned that it may eventually lead the public into "stereotyping of flight attendants as entertainers" and will surely have a negative and sexist impact in the minds of the public". They even called the activity as "demeaning and undignified". Do

Dancing Cebu Pacific Male Flight Attendants (Video)

Last week, the entire world was caught in amazement by the surprise in-flight  "dance" number performed by Cebu Pacific flight attendants . Well, the surprise doesn't end on that number. As part of Cebu Pacific's culture of continuous innovation, today, they presented the "male version" of that number. In a flight from Manila to Davao, the passengers were once again entertained, this time by male flight attendants. Here's the video of the "Dancing Male Cebu Pacific Flight Attendants". How was number? Is it good?

Goldilocks "Earth-Like" Planet Found?

Image via Wikipedia Astronomers recently found a planet outside the solar system with conditions they termed as "Goldilocks", neither too hot nor too cold. This they said was the perfect condition for a great possibility of extra terrestrial life. The planet is named Gliese 581g is found to be circling a red dwarf star located 120 trillion miles from the Earth. The planet is a few times larger than the earth and scientists estimate that the mass and gravity of the planet is just comparable to the earth. the planet is also tidally locked to its parent star which means that only one side faces the star. This condition will lead to a very hot condition on the portion directly facing the star and an icy condition on the other side. The interesting part though is somewhere in the middle of the two faces of the planet where the temperature may be just right for a habitable zone. Cross posted from ASTRONOMY DIGEST BLOG .

Holiday on October 25 2010?

Image via Wikipedia Should October 25, 2010 be declared as a holiday? The Comission on Elections (COMELEC) says so and they are requesting the office of President Noynoy Aquino an executive order (EO) for that. Their basis is the law that states that all election day be declared as holidays so that more voters will turn out. By the way, October 25, 2010 is the schedule for the local Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections. In the meantime, please stay tune to this blog for the updates regarding this topic! Personally, I wish October 25, 2010 to be holiday, not for Barangay Elections but for a rest day!!!! :-)

Umbrellas for Check-in at the Airport

Image via Wikipedia If you will be travelling without check-in baggage like the famous Cebu Pacific Go-Lite promo, better not to bring your umbrellas. Before, we just fold our umbrellas and keep it inside our hand carried bags. Now, there's a new security order to include umbrellas in your check-in baggages. Well, again, if you happen to be travelling with Go-Lite ticket, then you would have to pay 400 pesos for baggage reinstatement. Experience in Mactan Airport I just had this experience when I traveled a few weeks ago. After getting the boarding pass from Cebu Pacific counter and paying the terminal fee, we are told at the final inspection that umbrellas should be checked-in. How annoying it is to imagine how long we been standing there in the line to the counters and to think that it was not even mentioned on the first inspection! One of my company had to go back to the counter and negotiate the matter. And here's the funny thing: it's not that easy to check in

Manila Hostage Taking - What Went Wrong?

As everyone knows, the hostage-taking fiasco last Monday end up in a very disturbing manner. Nine innocent lives were wasted in a meaningless bloodshed. A group of tourists who came to the country to enjoy will be going home in boxes. It was a sad and horrible outcome like most of the seemingly getting common incidents of fear due to the relentless evil deeds. Image via Wikipedia In the last article posted on this blog, I featured a web article showing how the media could do better in broadcasting cases of crisis like hostage-taking incidents . Now, the British Broadcasting Corporation-Asia Pacific (BBC) published an article entitled, "Ten things the Philippines bus siege police got wrong". It features comments from Charles Shoebridge, a security analyst who has worked in British Army and Scotland Yard for counter-terrorism. Read the article below and see what could've done better by the Philippine police during the course of the bus siege. Ten things the Philippi

Hostage Taking in Manila - The Media Could've Done Better

Image via Wikipedia The horrifying hostage taking inciden t that happened yesterday came into a disturbing conclusion. Nine innocent lives were taken in a meaningless bloodshed. Who should take the blame for this horrendous display of evil? Is it the hostage taker? Is it the police? Many will say that the police authorities failed to handle the situation wisely. The Hong Kong government already expressed its disappointment over the incident. It was indeed very clear from yesterday's incident that the country's competence in maintaining peace and security is seriously flawed. Also worth taking note of is how the media behaved during the course of the incident. The media has been criticized for giving information to the hostage taking on which we cannot deny that it may have contributed to his agitation. I found this very nice article about how the journalists should have responded in those crises. Guidelines for Covering Hostage-Taking Crises, Prison Uprisings, Terroris

Noynoy's First Paycheck as Philippines' CEO

Image via Wikipedia We all take a close look at our personal salaries, earnings or allowances. And admit it or not many of us always complain about it. Here are some common complaints. It's too small! It's not enough for me and my family. How can I budget this? I'm underpaid. I worked hard for this? How can I possibly live with this amount? The tax is too big! The list is definitely longer than this. Yes, salary is one of the hottest and most controversial human inventions and it has always been like that since the beginning. Now, let's shift our focus to the latest topic in the world of Pinoy money. Early this evening, we saw in the news, a picture of a powerful man holding his first paycheck.

PRC Clarifies Suspension of Filipino Physical Therapists in US

In a signed document posted on PRC's official website, PRC Charirman NICOLAS P.

Why Would I Transfer from Globe Tattoo to Smart Bro? -Part 2

Continuation of my bad experience from using Globe Tattoo. .. And here comes the next day. I loaded my Globe Tattoo with 100 pesos and registered. Guess what? NO REPLY, FAILURE REGISTRATION. I then decided to call globe and ask for an explanation and assistance. On my first attempt, a male agent picked the call and said that there’s currently a traffic surge on my location and that users may experience denied registration requests. He said that it will just take a few minutes and the system will normalize again. He advised me to try again later and ask an apology for inconvenience. OK, after five minutes, I tried again, same results. Ten minutes, same result. One hour after, same outcome. I called again. This time the agent told that there’s no problem in the system and I may just need to try again. I said that I keep on trying since the last time I called and with the same outcome. The agent then generated a report for investigation and gave me the reference number. He asked me t

Why Would I Transfer from Globe Tattoo to Smart Bro? -Part 1

I had this bad experience with Globe tattoo plug-it internet connection. Last week, I saw a billboard advertising Globe Tattoo’s latest promo: One Day Unlimited Internet Surfing for 50 pesos! At first glance, I found it very interesting. The reason is that one day unlimited surfing fits my internet usage. I think that one month unlimited internet is way beyond my needs. One day unlimited is just enough especially since I just use internet during weekends. With high level of excitement, last weekend, I loaded my Globe Tattoo with 60 pesos. When I tried registering, by typing SUPERSUF50 and then sending it to 888, I always receive a message saying that my request cannot be entertained for the moment and they requested me to try again later. I tried again several times and I got the same reply. I decided then to stop registering and let an hour pass before trying again. Two hours have already passed before I tried to register again. This time though, after sending the key message, I
