PhilippinesWhat with the argument about being married to an American???
QUOTE (Kardi_Shian @ Apr 6 2009, 02:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I don't know how to exactly say this but whenever I bumped to a certain thread with some stupid topics about why Filipinas marry Americans or older Americans or why Americans marry Filipinas and what makes us different from other foreign women; it makes me wonder what we are all trying to prove here because obviously, most of those who posted these kind of topics here are actually married to these Americans. So, what message are we exactly trying to convey here??? And who are we trying to convince here? Other people or just ourselves? Because its totaly foolish. If we have these kind of silly question which we, ourselves actually have the answer then why not ask ourselves about instead? What's your point of asking other people? We have our own reason and whatever it is keep it ourselves because we are all different. We can't just judge anyone around here because we saw other people doing this kind of things. If you found yourself in this category of Filipina women marrying Americans for money, then contemplate and do something about it and quit playing games because it only sounds so defensive and this only makes us worse than what the world already thought about us.


Right. We all have our own reasons why we are married to our American husbands. Whatever those reasons might be, better keep them to ourselves and not post them here. Just to be on the safe side.

It might just look like something it's not. Communication is key.

PhilippinesBakit may 113 na seaman hostage ng mga Somali pirata?
QUOTE (AJAnTESS @ Apr 14 2009, 06:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yesterday, the MV Irene, a Greek-owned freighter, was seized by the Somalis in the Gulf of Aden. There are 20 Filipinos who are crew members of the Irene.

Sad to say, but the Philippine government lacks the logistics to carry on a rescue mission. This is an issue that the United Nations must tackle.



Siguro kung mapipilitan tayo humingi ng tulong sa United Nations, wala din mangyayari sa sitwasyon. Siguro pwede tayo humingi ng tulong sa mga Americans para may mangyari naman sa situation mg mga Pinoy seamen doon. Joint forces kumbaga. Americans got the money. We got the fighters dahil wala din magawa ang mga ambassadors at mga politiko.

Napanood ko sa Balitang America sa TV 26 San Francisco na may 113 na mga Filipino seamen hostage ng mga Somali pirates. Yung ibang mga hostage dalawang taon na pala sila doon. Noong isang linggo, inatake ng mga Somali pirates ang isang American vessel at rumisponde ang American government sa pamamagitan ng mga snipers. Namatay ang ang 3 Somali pirates at nabihag nila ang isa. Nailigtas ang captain.

Bakit hindi magawa ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang ginawa ng mga American sa mga American hostages? Nakaligtas sila at hindi nagbayad ng ransom?

PhilippinesFailon's wife shot at home
MANILA, Philippines - The wife of broadcast journalist Ted Failon was in critical condition yesterday from a gunshot wound to the head inflicted at their home in Quezon City.

Doctors at the New Era Hospital declared Trinidad Etong, 45, brain dead from a bullet wound in her left temple.

Police said the incident happened at around 10:30 a.m. at the couple’s home.

Investigators initially questioned Failon, a news anchor of ABS-CBN TV Patrol, at his house at 27 General Aquino street, Tierra Pura subdivision in Tandang Sora, Quezon City.

Failon, Mario Teodoro Failon Etong in real life, claimed his wife committed suicide, but police doubted this, noting inconsistences in the stories given by members of the household.

The bathroom where the victim was found as well as the vehicle used to rush her to the hospital were cleaned of bloodstains and other items that may serve as evidence.

The gun was handed over to the police by Failon himself, rendering any fingerprint on the weapon useless in identifying who fired the shot.

Bong Osorio, ABS-CBN corporate communications head, sent to The STAR Failon’s official statement that read: “Hindi ko na tinapos ang aking programa sa dzMM kaninang umaga matapos kong makausap ang aking asawa sa telepono. Kaya umuwi ako kaagad at natagpuan kong nakakandado ang pinto ng banyo. Pinabuksan ko ang pinto at natagpuan ko ang aking asawa na duguan kung kaya’t itinakbo ko siya kaagad sa ospital (I did not finish my radio program at dzMM this morning after I talked to my wife over the telephone. I immediately went home and I found out the bathroom door locked. I asked for the door to be opened and found my bloodied wife and I rushed her to the hospital).”

Osorio also issued the statement of ABS-CBN over dzMM, urging the public to respect the privacy of Failon.

“We appeal to everyone to please respect the privacy of Ted Failon and his family. His wife is fighting for her life,” Osorio said.

Superintendent Franklin Moises Mabanag, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit of the Quezon City Police District, said the doctors told them that the point of entry of the bullet was in the left temple of Trinidad. The bullet exited in the right temple.

Mabanag, however, said members of the household claimed the caliber .380 Walter PPK pistol used was found in the right side of the victim when she was discovered slumped inside the bathroom of the couple’s child on the second floor of the house in Tierra Pura.

He said Failon had committed a violation when he touched the gun that was used in the shooting.

When asked how investigators found the gun when they arrived at the crime scene, Mabanag told The STAR: “He (Failon) handed it (gun) over to us.”

Mabanag also noted that Failon had scratches on his face and a bruised nose.

Members of the media who were waiting outside the Failon residence and at the hospital earlier never got a chance to see Failon.

Mabanag said the housemaids had cleaned the bathroom where the victim was found and the blue Mitsubishi Pajero with license plate XPE-293 that was used to bring the victim to the nearby New Era General Hospital was also cleaned.

He said the investigators subjected all the members of the household last night to paraffin tests at the Failon residence.

Investigator Senior Police Officer 2 Gerry Abad said among those subjected to paraffin test were Failon, driver Glen Pulan, and housemaids Pacifico Apacible, Frida Bullesan and one identified only as Carlota.

Mabanag said it was Failon, Pulan and Trinidad’s sister Pamela who brought the victim to the hospital.

He said the Failon couple had a quarrel last Tuesday night, after which Trinidad reportedly left the house and came back only yesterday morning.

Mabanag showed a letter to members of media that was reportedly written by the victim after the couple’s fight. The reason for the fight was still not clear.

It stated: “Papa, I’m so sorry. Gustong gusto ko pong magsabi sa iyo ng totoo. Pero hindi ko po alam kung papaano ko uumpisahan. Sobrang takot na takot po ako. Aaalis po muna ako. Kasi hindi ko po kaya at nahihiya po ako sa iyo. Sana po mapatawad mo ako (I want to tell you the truth. But I don’t know how to start. I’m very afraid. I will leave now. I can’t take it and I’m ashamed. Hope you can forgive me).”

Mabanag said they could still not consider it a suicide note just yet and added: “We cannot declare yet that it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

The couple had reportedly reconciled after the wife came back yesterday morning.

Failon reportedly left early yesterday morning for his morning radio program over dzMM and when he came back home, he searched for his wife. He found his wife slumped inside their child’s bathroom.

A gardener and a housemaid at a nearby house told reporters they did not hear a gunshot from Failon’s residence. They also noted that Failon’s shirt and that of the driver had bloodstains when they came out of the house to bring the wife to the hospital.

Meanwhile, former President Joseph Estrada is saddened by the tragedy involving Failon’s wife.

Estrada said he was shocked to learn that Failon’s wife was shot inside their house in Quezon City.

Failon was among the personalities being considered by Estrada to be included in the opposition’s senatorial ticket in the 2010 elections.

“I am very sad to hear the news. But I cannot elaborate on that because I do not know the bottom line of the incident,” Estrada said. –With Jose Rodel Clapano

High School - We grew up, a bit, hahaha, LOVE at First Sight at a local radio station - DATED.

BUT

After 4 months I had to leave for the States...........SAD! Stayed in touch for as much as we could but eventually lost contact. Seen other people, she had 2 kids, she never married, her ex was the biggest playboy in the city.


As for me, for 14 years I have carried her picture in my wallet (EVEN when I was seeing other people). Yes 14 years I carried her highschool graduation photo with me all those years.

And now we're engaged.............. That's a short version of the things that unfolded, hope that's crazy enough, hahahaha.

One morning, he called me and he sounded like he was still in deep sleep but managed to pick up the phone and said "hello, baby..."

I was very excited to tell him how my day went and so I did, when I got done talking I heard a soft snore on the other line.lol

I didn't want to be rude or hang-up without saying the usual "good-bye" and "i love you" and so I read to him my entire 20-page project and sang about a gazillion of songs.lol He woke up about after an hour and "Hey, baby. How are you?" LOL


We met in from my last work. The only craziest thing i did was: i

I told my manager that i want to be involved in the development team on one of the latest product from my previous company. My hubby, a co-worker before, was one of the EXPERT from the USA. The reason for my transfer request, I just want to know how intelligent he is.

After that, it is my hubby who did lots of craziest thing for me, from sending starbuck's dark chocolate via mail to changing his crazy business travel just to see me for ONE day!

So this is how it feels like biggrin.gif

"Happy" would be an understatement. It's a feeling of euphoria (not that I know how it really feels like being high haha)

Finger scanning sucked big-time. My left hand was not participating. I made a point not to put on lotion but then my hands were sweaty (they usually arent) I was nervous as hell, can you blame me? tongue.gif

The pre-screener was not so friendly. She greeted me back with a good morning but she hardly smiled. Anyhow, she asked me how we met and the word "introduced" came out of my mouth and she was quick to say "You were introduced??" Ugh, i knew that was a wrong move but then I was not going to lie or make up another story.lol

Interview took no more than 5 minutes. The consul asked me how we met, how he ended up being in the Philippines in the first place and what he does for a living. There was no trick question whatsoever, he has my files - he would glance at them once in a while and ask me something. He asked in a confirmatory manner. Finally, he said "I have no more questions for you. Your visa is approved. Blah blah blah...."

This website has helped me a LOT. There were people who showed up that didn't know they were suppose to pay for a visa fee! They were asked to reschedule their interview.


Tips:

It is important to have all the forms filled out beforehand to avoid delay.
Take note of the number of forms you are suppose to bring. (2 copies of DS156, 1 DS156K etc...)
Answer only what is asked. Less talk, less mistake.
Don't get pissed if your fiance doesn't reply right away when u text him the good news. He's probably just sleeping! haha!
Pray. Pray. Pray.


Congratulations nervouswreck! I am crossingmy fingers they (US Embassy) won't make you cool of your heels for your visa. star_smile.gif

Why is she entitled to "At least get Something from the ex-hubby"

They had a marriage, it didn't work out she's back in PI

Should we start to reward people who have marriage that don't work

Amazing to me someone would get on a Public Forum and make such an outrageous comment




Depends on how long they were married. Any property they bought together while they were married should be divided equally among them. Anything they have before the marriage, they keep for themselves. Even though she went back to the Philippines, he is still responsible for her because they are still married according to the support agreement. Even divorce does not dissolved that agreement because her husband was her sponsor according to the affidavit of support.

is somebody new here in the forum? i hope we will have exciting topic here...boring.

Well, I set my friend up with a bf back in February last year, and yesterday, I met her in the US, at my house, with her Fiance. I was a good matchmaker! They make a nice couple, so much in love! And, they brought me some Pinoy foods with them, I am so happy! Chicharone, Tinapa, Kornic, Hopia, Pastillas. and a lot more. kicking.gif

PhilippinesDurian - aphrodisiac food
QUOTE (tallcoolone @ Feb 14 2009, 05:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
A couple of Balut and a bottle of Red Horse is a better aphrodisiac for me than a stinky Durian....


Yeah! You got it right! Balut is an aphrodisiac. Durian? I don't think so. Although I like the Durian candy. I cannot stand the stinky fresh Durian, with all due respect to Senorita Teresita.

The balut looks grosssss!!! I don't eat balut. Not all Filipinos do.


I like the balut! But I can only eat one. Not like JAsman who can ate 5. Too much balut can make you dizzy. Na-miss ko tuloy Pinoy foods while watching Anthony Bourdain in Travel Channel. I miss the Pinakbet, sinigang and lechon baboy. I miss Binondo Manila. We like to buy hopia at the Eng Bee Ten. We like going to the Binondo church and Divisoria. I miss Dampa market. The show is too short. I didn't see Bicol express and Tinolang Manok. Yummy! good.gif

what is an amended tax return? can anybody give me an idea or links?

thanks



Topic 308 - Amended Returns
If you discover an error after your return has been mailed, you may need to amend your return. The service center may correct errors in math on a return and may accept returns with certain forms or schedules left out. In these instances, do not amend your return! However, do file an amended return if your filing status, your income, your deductions or credits were incorrect.

A young lady in the Philippines was married to a filipino man that verbally and physically tortured her. During the time of their wedding, she used her childhood given name for the marriage certificate. Through rumors, she heard that her name was incorrect. Upon requesting and receiving her Birth Certificate 2 years ago, she discovered that her real name is in fact different than listed on her marriage certificate. Are there legal grounds to assume that her marriage is considered null and void due to this technicality, or should I say this huge error?

I know she needs a lawyer, just wondering if anyone here has had a similar situation and has knowledge of possible outcomes or of the current law in such situations.

She now lives far from him, her main question is if she needs to apply for annulment to pursue possible Fiance Visa or can she proceed with the name on her Birth Certificate?

Also note, according to her cenomar, she is single, but that is according to the name on her Birth Certificate.


I will let the wife look at this one when she comes home. Stay tuned. This one might interest her.


I hope you don't mind, but I am curious when you said "childhood name". Did you mean nick name or pet name? Can you be specific about this? Thanks.

Rocky, the wife



Thanks for all the replies, I did a little research of my own since posting this and according to Philippine law, Article 35, sentence 5. there is possible grounds for "Null and Void from the beginning" due to identity issues. However, it is for the courts to decide. As far as I know, she used her nick name, which at the time she thought to be her real name.

Ken & Marife


It applies only to a person marrying another through a mistake in identity (marrying the wrong person). it does not apply to her. The mistake results from her giving the incorrect first name when applying for marriage license. This does not render the marriage null and void since she was also known by that name.

Wow, I didn't even know there was such an agency in the RP blink.gif Good luck collecting blink.gif

No, there is no such agency. You have to get a judgement from the court, locate any assets, get a writ of execution from the court to seize those assets, and find a sheriff to serve and execute the writ.



I have found the Filipino court system somewhat chaotic to say the least. You could spend years trying to get a judgment. blink.gif




That's true! They like to drag their feet, knowing you can't afford to pay the legal fees, and wait for the last minute to pay, if they pay at all. Sometimes, they even try and shoot the sheriff when he shows up!

the american father has been ordered to pay, he has refused. he has philipino citizenship. lives in RP. when the local sherriff went there he was paid a bribe. he has not paid the support even after the court order. he gets 100% disability. part of his payment is for the wife and child that he refuses to support!!!


Who is paying his disability? You need to place a lien on those payments.

the us government, I have spoken w/ the dept they say nothing that the us has no jurisdiction.


Go ahead and find out which bank which is processing his disability payments and place a lien on those accounts.

All I know is that you go to court and file a petition for support against a person who refuses to give support to his child or relative.
