It’s always good to see the Philippine Government cracking down on pornography thanks to Rico at BBN: The Bayanhinan Blog Network for reporting the latest on the Boy Bastos scandal…
It seems Mark Verzo aka “Boy Bastos” fancied himself as Leonardo DiCaprio in the hit movie “Catch me if you can” and issued a “dare” to Senator Loren Legarda to “shut him down if they are able to.”
Someone should have taught him “you can’t fight city hall” and in his case NBI, the Senator Loren Legarda, and Philippine government.”
Two days after his taunt…they caught him
What was he thinking?

Good news Pilipinas reported this week: Pal ranked one the the worlds best!
The Philippine Airlines has been ranked #61 of 150 airlines in the world in terms of revenue this year. This is up from their #68 ranking last year.
The report is primarily based on dollars and customer traffic and even though I have no complaints with their in flight service I’m curious to know how PAL would rank there.

Pinoy men will not be happy about this!
The gulf-times in Qatar reports that women are above the men in the Philippine corporate ladder!
According to the International labour organisation the ratio of women to men in executive jobs is the highest in the world at 58%!
When speaking of “Filipino pride” this is definitely a feather in the Filipinas cap.

Earlier this week I announced the The RP builders forum is open and accepting members who wish to learn more about building in the Philippines.
Whether it’s for you and your family or your extended family this forum will serve the ex-pat community well.
Membership is free…participation is encouraged.
The forum is for folks who:
- Are planning to build a home in the Philippines in the near future
- Need more info to weigh the “pros and cons”
- Folks who have already built a home in the Philippines and want to showcase their work and hopefully answer a few questions from the newbies.
Many forums are general by nature and they serve a great need inside the Fil-Am Community. The RP Builders Forum is a rare opportunity to focus on exactly what it takes to:
- Buy land
- Build a home
- And do it the right way!
I encourage you to join this site and get your questions answered and pitch in whenever you can.
Have a good week folks !

So I was off work and surfing and found this place and thought I would join up. I don’t have much more to say right now except I need to start reading some of the older posts to get up to speed before I can start posting.
