SHITTERU?


July - August 2014

ALAM NYO BA…
according to Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government of Japan decided to endeavor to realize the exemption or relaxation of visa requirements for nationals of Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. The objective is to promote Japan as a tourism oriented country with the even higher goal of attracting 20 million foreign visitors. Para sa mga Filipinos at mga Vietnamese, multiple entry visa will be substantially relaxed. Multiple entry visas for short-term stay term of validity is up to three years with a period of fifteen days. For more information or clarification, please contact the Consular Section of the Embassy of Japan nearest you. Kaya mga kababayan, hindi po visa free to Japan.

ALAM NYO BA…na popular sa Japan ang raw horse meat? I have not tried it yet but for those who tried it na, sabi nila masarap daw. In a survey done in 2005, countries who are the biggest horse meat consuming countries were China, Mexico, Russia, Italy and Kazakhstan. According to my Japanese friends, yung raw horse meat is nutritious compared to beef and or pork and best eaten during summer as it gives you stamina.

ALAM NYO BA…pag marami kang iniisip na responsibilidad o mga problema, parang ang hirap makatulog o di kaya’y tuliro ka o wala sa sarili, ika nga. Kung minsan sa kakaisip at lalo na kung masyado mong dinidibdib ang problema na feeling mo wala ng solusyon, or if you feel you have too much to do or yung mga situwasyon na wala kang control over, then the results may lead to stress o di kaya’y depression and even becomes a mental health problem.

ALAM NYO BA…na pitong Filipino nurses sa Amerika ay posibleng makulong for three years? Sila ay gumamit ng mga fake transcript of records in acquiring their RN (Registered Nurse) licenses in California Board of Registered Nursing.  Grabe naman, di ba, at panigurado, hihigpitan na naman ang mga Pilipino nito, not only in the US, baka na rin sa mga ibang bansa. Ang mga nahuli o kinasuhan ay sina Juan Malaluan Tenorio, Jr. and Glyn Cordova Villegas of Kern County; James Quijano Leoncio of Orange County; Philip Tolentino Sarmiento, Laurence Viernes, German Zagada and Jude Dagza Leoncio of Los Angeles County. Silang lahat ay nag-apply to practice Registered Nurses sa California using false and forged nursing school transcripts from the Philippines. The eighth individual, Joanne Keeney, who is currently in the Philippines and the suspected ringleader ay may warrant na for her arrest.  (Source: infonurses.com)
