Profood International Corporation's Calamansi Ginger Grean Tea Concentrate

-

I'm someone who always buys local and imported food products. However, I tend to buy local where I go because eating local is usually more beneficial. I was buying some stuff last Sunday. I found this product which I haven't heard of yet. It's called Calamansi Ginger Green Tea. If South Koreans have their Honey Citron, then maybe we can say Filipinos have Calamansi Ginger Green Tea concentrate, which also contains honey. 

I gave it a shot, and it gives some relief for the throat. I drank Ginga Ginger Brew after I caught Omicron. That was the time when COVID-19 would eventually "get us all". I was looking for Ginga ginger powder but I wasn't able to find it. Fortunately, this food product ws available and it's helping me. I tend to get throat problems whenever the weather changes too much!

I would drink it either lukewarm or cold, due to the weather conditions. The combination of ginger and calamansi helped me feel better. I would like to recommend this food food product. Kudos to Justin Sy Uy and his company!

The Outdated Database of a Die-Hard 1987 Constitution of the Philippines Apologist

Image
Gemini AI Art A few days ago, I wrote about how Hilario G. Davide Jr. contradicted himself as a UN Diplomat, who's against 100% FDI . Right now, I need to address the partly good/partly bad advice. Indeed, we should never believe everything on the Internet. Some people can even get a paid domain  and be publishing nonsense (ex., Pinoy Ako Blog) while a blogger like myself, is trying to carefully craft posts. I thought about the sheer double standard  that I had to deal with. It's the same anti-charter change people who tell me, "Don't listen to everything on the Internet!" are also the same people who say, "You should always listen to the framers of the inviolate 1987 Constitution!" Such advice is laughable because, for one, even the late Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco-Aquino spoke these words : You must define and protect our individual freedoms and rights; you must decide how our different institutions of state will relate to each other. Do n...

"But the Philippines Isn't Taiwan!" is Just Another Lame Excuse to Justify Filipino First Policy

Atlas Institute for Internal Affairs   Happy Double 10 to Taiwan! Chinese Filipino schools would take part in what's often called the Double 10 celebrations. October is the 10th month and it's the 10th day. I remember talking about how Taiwan succeeded by accepting FDIs and how the Filipino First Policy caused us to fail . The typical response I would get on American-made social media (of all places), such as Facebook, would be, "How many times do I need to stress that the Philippines isn't Taiwan. We are the Philippines! We are unique!" If those fools did a study, they may realize that there's a link between the Taiwanese aborigines and the Filipino aborigines (read here ). The Philippines should've learned from Taiwan during COVID-19 One of the best models for fighting COVID-19 was Taiwan. Sure, I'm more in favor of shifting to a parliamentary system and Taiwan is still a presidential country (with parliamentary features).  Former Taiwanese president...

Davide Contradicts Himself by Having Experience as a UN DIPLOMAT While Supporting the Filipino First Policy

-
Image
October is United Nations Month. I would like to bring up the issue of Atty. Hilario G. Davide Jr., the favorite source and echo chamber of the anti-constitutional reform groups. I wrote an earlier post where I asked to whom Filipinos should listen to between Kishore Mahbubani and Davide, that Davide was actually a former UN diplomat , until such time of his honorable resignation . I Googled "Hilario Davide Jr. United Nations" and discovered Davide actually studied in SOKA University, during the time he was a UN diplomat ! I would even want to share these words written by Davide, 50 years after Soka University was founded. In just fifty years from its founding on April 2, 1971, our SOKA University has more than fully proven itself as the "highest seat of learning for humanistic education; cradle of a new culture; and a fortress of peace for mankind." It has gone beyond the borders of a great nation through various units in other parts of the world and its comprehens...

How Private-Owned Businesses Finance Government Spending

-
Image
Business 2 Community I was thinking about how some people still think traditional communism is a good idea when it isn't. Maybe, one can say (or I did say it once) that communism works because of Vietnam and China. However, both China and Vietnam have adopted some form of capitalism even if they still considered themselves socialists or communists. The late Do Muoi (who died on October 1, 2018) and Deng Xiaoping both understood that, while they lived, private enterprises and foreign direct investment (FDI) would effectively finance their communist states. It was something that traditional communists like Karl Marx and Mao Zedong failed to see. The late, great Lee Kuan Yew mentioned both Do and Deng in his book From Third World to First. I've been noticing Filipino leftist Facebook pages such as the League of Filipino Students, Anakbayan, Bayan Muna, Migrante International, and Philippine Anti-Fascist League want to go against capitalism. Yet, even Deng who felt that the "s...

Taiwan: The Little David That Defeated the Protectionist Goliath, China

Tomorrow is the Double Ten's celebration. October 10, 1911, played a significant role in Taiwan's history. It's often mistaken for Taiwanese Independence Day. Taiwan became a   separate state under Chiang Kai Shek on October 25, 1945. It somehow puzzles me how Taiwan National Day is celebrated on October 10 instead of October 25. Here's an explanation regarding Double Ten's significance and why it's considered Taiwan National Day: October 10th is Taiwan National Day, but it is not Taiwan’s birthday .  Instead, it commemorates October 10, 1911, which was the start of an event called the Wuchang Uprising in China . This uprising led to the Xinhai Revolution which brought about the fall of the Qing (Ching) Dynasty, the end of the Chinese dynasties, and the founding of the Republic of China in 1912 .  At this time, Taiwan had been under the rule of the Empire of Japan since 1895, and it was not until the end of World War Two in 1945 that Japan was forced to relinqu...

Why the DSWD Still Needs PRIVATE Sectors in Disaster Relief Operations

DSWD Field Office 7 - Central Visayas It's disheartening to know that after the Bogo earthquake in Cebu last September 30, 2025. Today, an earthquake Davao Oriental this day on October 10, 2025. It's sad to think that today is October 10, which is the Double 10 celebration for Taiwan . Right now, it's effortless for fools on Facebook (which is ironic) giving anti-capitalist, anti-business rants, never mind that even Vietnam is no longer solely dependent on State-Owned Enterprises! Instead, it made me think of the COVID-19 incident all over again, such as how Foodpanda and Grab, both foreign delivery services , have been helpful to Filipino businesses . Some idiots said on Facebook (and as always, I will not mention their names, they're public figures ) that it is the workers who did the work, not the owners, and that the government should provide everything. One crazy comment I got from someone on Facebook was, "Why should there be private enterprises? The DSWD is ...

Like Taiwan, the Philippines Can Beat China Economically But It Must Swallow "Filipino First", First!

Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines It's Chinese New Year's Eve tomorrow and this is an essay I felt like writing before the festivities begin. I did write about how Taiwan bested China back then during the time of Mao Zedong . Mao was running his planned utopia via protectionism and it failed miserably . The Great Leap Forward was nothing more than a spectacular failure. Deng Xiaoping had to learn from Singapore in order to bring China forward. I'm afraid that China is going backward at the cost of the Chinese citizens. I don't blame all the Chinese citizens but their government for any tensions. Meanwhile, Taiwan, according to The Heritage Foundation has a score of 80.1% in terms of economic freedom . It's noted as follows: Taiwan’s economic freedom score is 80.1, making its economy the 6th freest in the 2022 Index. Taiwan is ranked 3rd among 39 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is above the regional and world averages...

Why Businesses Need to Adapt to New Technology and New Information, Not Get Stuck in the Stone Age

-
Image
I could remember the problem of having to deal with the older generation that doesn't embrace change. It's often said that the older you get--the more resistant to change you become. I wanted to write this essay about why businesses need to keep up with technological advancement and new information. It's because much has changed from the 1980s to the present. I was born in 1985 which makes me a Generation Y. Generation X people are from 1965 to 1980. That means I've experienced a lot of stuff during the 1990s to the early 2000s which many of those born later wouldn't know. Remembering the "luxury" of the 1990s that became business necessities today I remembered how often I wanted a desktop back in the 1990s. Adjusting to change can be very difficult. I remembered how I wanted a desktop not because it was cool to own one. The typewriter was such a hassle,  especially with how it was a waste of paper. I really hated using the typewriter because of how hard t...

Trying to Get Rich Quick, Aren't We?

There's a saying that there's no elevator to success--take the stairs! It's a problem when people overspend--they ignore basic economics. I confess that I was an overspending teenager, I did flunk my first grading in economics back in high school (though I got better in college with economics during my stay at the University of San Carlos-Main Campus), and I only have a total of 12 economic units in my academic life. My thrifty parents had the habit of not giving me more allowance which caused me to re-evaluate my spending habits. It made me eat canteen food and re-evaluate my actions. Though, I also nearly fell for some get-rich-quick schemes too. Then I almost participated in one but withdrew earlier than expected. This brings me back memories of cartoons that I watched as a kid. Maybe, one can remember some Hanna Barbera sitcoms such as Top Cat  and  The Flintstones to name a few. Top Cat was always up to some idiotic schemes which usually backfire at the end of the epi...

No Hard-to-Earn Economics Degree is Required to Know That a Welfare, Anti-FDI Philippines is Destined to FAIL

-
Image
GMA News When it comes to constitutional reform, I'm afraid one of the worst sources quoted would come from the Makabayan Bloc. Some people I face who are so against FDI also want to end the OFW program. The solution comes out rather absurd, as the Philippines must have its own state where it's all beg and beg . It would be like: "Free education for all! No to FDI for schools!"  "Free lunch in school!" "No to open FDI! The government must fund our local production!"  " Increase the salaries, lower the prices of goods! " (which is just plain bad accounting ) That's just a few of the crazy demands that have been given! My favorite question has always been, "Where will you get the funding?" The usual answers can be: " Print more money! " "The government should just make it a law!" "Tax the rich all the more!" which can often be accompanied by, " After all, it's the fault of the rich that p...
