JV Ejercito has done a remarkable job in the Senate. For those who don't know, he's done several landmark bills including the Universal Health Care Law which aims to alleviate the burden of paying for hospital and ailment care for Filipinos nationwide. It would give apt health services, provide assistance in medical emergencies, but it needs time for full implementation hence, his hunger to go back to the Senate.
It really is a no brainer because aside from the actual groundwork in medical institutions and government agencies, it needs funding and he plans to have it sourced from projects that have not been able to utilize funds by putting them all together. He also have pointed out things that can be addressed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the lack of medical facilities, rightful benefits for frontliners, healthcare workers and mismanagement of the PhilHealth program and this could be addressed by the Universal Healthcare Law which he authored. He also have put importance in Housing, Education and the Youth, Job Opportunities, Agriculture and Transportation which would benefit a lot of Filipinos especially now where we're all trying to revive the economy.
He also addressed rumors about laws and statements that have been misunderstood by the transport sector in the past, so it was actually good to ask him about that in person. Being an independent candidate, he's very glad that he got the support of Senators from different parties. Aside from that, it was extra difficult to campaign this year and told us about the hardships he's had and yes, it was a little difficult for him and his family why he wasn't supported by the parties he was expecting to carry him this year. All that is in this video plus THE GOOD ONE telling us about his projects:
You've got 12 Senators to choose this coming May, the stakes are high and if you choose the Senator who made this all happen... that would be a good one.
We had the pleasure of meeting with the executives of Steam Box Corporation, makers of popular HOTBOX, the new innovative way of serving fresh hot food in the country. Together with Romeo Joven, Eric Quizon and Piolo Pascual, they asked us to experience how having a meal with HOTBOX feels like.
Available in different sizes, it's a good solution for food items that you would want to keep hot especially in events. If you want the type of quality that comes out of your kitchen for hotels, corporate clientele or special people in your life, they've got you covered. They have some of Manila's 5 star hotels already using it, so why shouldn't you right? Plus, they thought about the environmental impact this thing does as the heating element can be used as fertilizer, and the boxes can be re-used as containers since it's a little fancy.
Piolo Pascual swears by it, and if you want to know more about how they can help you with the food you serve, check hotboxph.com because they can make your dining experience a lot better. They're ready to make #TheWorldYourDiningRoom
With the elections coming, political developments are being seen recently. Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan have definitely advanced in the surveys due to effective campaigning, which they are even taking house to house, great track record, and a promise of uplifting lives by working together. Part of their 1Sambayanan Senate slate, they included Olympian and Congressman Monsour Del Rosario last April 8th. He's running for Senate and bringing in his public service experience spanning years representing Makati's 1st District and doing the legwork of authoring/co-authored/sponsored 292 bills in the lower house.
He still has his passion set in helping frontliners, his fellow athletes, children, farmers and marginalized individuals who need all the help they could get through legislation and projects. He says "We have the capacity to choose 12 Senators. We need to choose wisely on whom we can give 6 years to help VP Leni improve the lives of Filipinos. This is for the future of our countrymen, and I fully support our future President Leni Robredo together with the Angat Buhay Lahat cause she brings. We have to choose the right leader."
I couldn't agree more with the fine gentleman from Makati. I hope a lot of people follow suit.
My love for the arcades span years when I used to compete in different shops in Metro Manila. It further sparked my gamer life... and I've made lifelong friends which I treasure to this day. What I love about this form of entertainment is that it transcends time, as it is the perfect bonding time for people of any age and I still love it today. A few days ago, I've had the pleasure of spending time at the third largest TIMEZONE in the Philippines. This is located at Robinsons Place Manila's second floor at the end of the Pedro Gil wing, and it was so much fun to be in an arcade again after so many years!
Entertainment like this was surely missed during the last few years and I'm so glad restrictions have eased, and we can now enjoy a world class family entertainment center at the heart of Manila. We also got to talk to Rafael Prats Jr. the President and GM of TIMEZONE in the Philippines as he explained some of the new things the new branch will offer - including several short Tenpin Bowling and Duckpin lanes which people tend to get addicted to the whole day. Aside from that they've got several billiard tables which Dads, Sons, your friends can enjoy! There are also several Karaoke Kiosks where you can sing to your hearts content without the public judging you because it is an enclosed space. They also have a new 9D ride which people loved so much, it had a line in just a few minutes.
Thank you to Azrael Coladilla and Ruth Dela Cruz for taking photos of me while I was seriously playing for tickets at the newest TIMEZONE in Robinsons Place Manila
Much of the machines in this new venue actually come out with tickets which you can save and use to exchange with toys, plushies and food items. My personal favorite is the one that spins around and cough up discs that contain the value of tickets, I got 1K worth of it from that. I exchanged it for snacks and a plushie so I have something to give my Mom when I get home. She loved it!
Here's a short tour of the place on video, please enjoy!
Folks who love crane machines will be in plushie and ticket heaven as they've got a lot of these in the new TIMEZONE branch. Miss Universe Philippines National Director Shamcey Supsup was also there playing with her whole family. She represents ARTE partylist who represent entertainment industry workers and artists, she's really beautiful!
By the way, their prize redemption center was like a candy store. You can enter yourself and shop for the prize you want personally. Then they just scan your card for the equivalent points, pretty easy. I had so much fun at TIMEZONE and for sure, I will be back to play more of the games I did good at. Thank you so much to the people at TIMEZONE in Robinsons Place Manila, now you have more reasons to enjoy time with family and friends in Manila. Time for fun!
