NAIA Terminal 1 Improvements Underway

By Admin
001-NAIA1NAIA Terminal 1. Image via WikipediaAfter being highlighted twice as one of the worst airport in the world, the 30-year old Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 is now being renovated. The renovation includes both structural and aesthetic improvement to the facility.

Interactive travel website The Guide to Sleeping in Airports (http://www.sleepinginairports.net/) ranked NAIA Terminal 1 as the worst airport in the world citing its poor facilities, bribery and security concerns as the main problems facing the old terminal.

Also, the recently published CNN article entitled "World's 10 most hated airports" ranked NAIA Terminal 1 as the 5th in the worldwide scale.

The flood of criticism that brought NAIA Terminal 1 to the limelight have prompted the Office of the President to act swiftly and make quick improvements. President Noynoy Aquino himself conducted a surprise visit to the airport just to make sure that the improvements are going well.

    The Philippine government must also look into slums within, near and around the premises/areas of Terminal 1, 2, 3 and 4.

    They better start relocating them as they are really eyesores and these places are nesting areas of criminals and lawless elements considering they are near the country's airports.

    The approach in renovating these airports must be holistic as what Architect Palafox and Mr. Manuel Pangilinan have both been suggesting.

    Have they thought of free shuttle bus services within these airports?

    By the way, the toilets are quite small - they have to on Singapore Changi and Hongkong International airport - their toilets are clean, spacious (you can bring in trolleys inside the toilet cubicles)and smell good.
    Toilet cleaners there appropriately maintains the cleanliness of toilets similar to first class malls.

    God bless the Philippines

    Suggestions:

    -Airport staff/officials must stop from taking pictures/videos, signing for autographs from foreign/local celebrities inside the airport.

    -More information booths/tourists information booths.

    -Hotel bookings for all hotels must be placed in one long counter (manned by 4 to 5 personnel)similar to Changi International Airport.

    God bless the Philippines.

SCAM: My First Scam Text This Year; 850000 Pesos from GMA Kapuso Foundation

By Admin
It's a brand new year for everyone, including local scammers. And despite all the efforts by PLDT and Globe Telecom to curb text message scammers, from time to time, they still creep out and show up in our inboxes. And as hard to believe as the messages of winning some great amounts of money is the fact that there are still people who believe them. I personally know someone and that scam text message triggered events that turn her life upside down. So my point is, we still need to be careful regarding these scam messages. The danger is real! So without further ado, here's the scam message I received a few days ago. On Sunday, January 7, 2018 at exactly 3:33PM (PH time), I received this message from a certain Atty.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

By Admin
My passbook (inside my bag) was recently stolen inside a local grocery store, and I would like to share the steps I took to secure my account and get a new passbook.      By User:Aerous ", CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link The steps outlined here are for a BPI savings account, but generally, the procedure will be very similar to other banks in the Philippines. 1. Call the Bank to Secure Your Account The first and most crucial step you need to do immediately is to contact your bank by phone or personally report it to the branch where you opened the account. This action will ensure that funds will stay put. The bank will lock the account immediately. The big banks have 24/7 hotlines. For BPI, it's 889-100.

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

By Admin
My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
