Electricity Rates Goin Up!

Hindi pa tapos ang pagtaas! This is not the end of it! Har har!

Aside from the delayed fare rollback for public utility vehicles, the bad news just comes rolling in. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has recently approved the petition of National Power Corporation (Napocor) to raise rates for local electricity.

According to the ERC's decision, it has given due provisional authority for NAPOCOR to increase it's basic rates up to P0.47 per kilowatt hour for the whole area of Luzon, P1.15 per kilowatt hour in the Visayas and P0.71 for the Mindanao region. Because of this particular increase it would be a total of P4.36/kWh for the basic rates in Luzon, P4.03/kWh in Visayas and P2.82/kWh for Mindanao respectively. The power rate increase will be felt on the February 26 - March 25 billing period. Meralco consumers like us in Metro Manila will only have half of the increase because this region only have half of its supply with NAPOCOR. The other half are only from independent power producers, and I just wonder if they increase their rates in the same season too. That would just be bad!

Save A Lot from Coupons

I’ve seen a lot of people already using coupons to avail of huge discounts in department stores, cosmetics, groceries and even medicine. Like my Dad for example, he was supposed to buy some that would normally cost him a couple of thousand bucks for a 30 day period of medication. Good thing he had coupons that slashed about 50% off the original price that the doctor gave him, what a big discount!

I mean if this happened to all of us consumers then it wouldn’t be such a hard thing to purchase things even in this economic turmoil everybody’s getting into. I hope we also get the chance to have these things much like what is normally done in the US where basic necessities can be literally bought at a discounted price because of these coupons. Times are hard I know and getting this small change would benefit a lot of people who are in the same business as we are. It will hasten consumer spending which would make the US President’s plan to stimulate the economy a reality.

Obama Cares about Veterans

Tuwang tuwa ah.. hehe joke!

The processing of claims for Filipino veterans are being fast tracked by the US government and are being given priority so things like benefits would be given what's due them. US Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney promised this after US President Barack Obama signed the awaited 'economic stimulus package' where the Veterans Equity Bill is also included. Kenney assured transparency in these claims so only legitimate Philippine veterans would only be given their compensation.

She was also saddened that there are a lot of World War II Veterans that already died and never got the opportunity to receive their benefits. She added that she knows how this feels for their loved ones because her father was also part of the army who passed away four years ago. A pretty heartfelt gesture for the US ambassador. I like her a lot.

Get Your Confidence Back

In the United States and in some countries in Europe, breast augmentation procedures are getting popular because of a new found liberated outlook on it by the fashion industry and the society. It was once taboo in most conservative parts of the region but since it has been seen widely accepted to enhance a woman's body parts, it is getting normalcy in most western countries.

Prices even have doubled in the last decade or so in the US and UK but there are far more better alternatives like in central Europe that have it's Breast Augmentation Prices at almost half the price. This would be a very good deal for people who plan to visit Eastern European countries like Czech Republic, Poland and other former Russian states. They are all at par with the world standards but would never hurt anyone's budget. Medical tourism is a huge industry that these countries are getting known for. If you need help, you know how to get there for your enhancements. They even have breast reduction procedures done who are fuller figured so make sure you at least try it out to get that confidence back on track.
