Survey Says: Most Women Consider Money Than Good Looks

Survey Says: Most Women Consider Money Than Good Looks

In a study conducted by The Filipino Times, they deem it that most Filipino women prefer men with resources that can sustain the needs of the family. The looks are just secondary criteria and it shows that most Filipino women are practical to find an ideal man.

In an online poll “Tanong ng Bayan”, some women commented that financial security is their priority when planning to find a man and settle. If an individual is financially secured, it would be easier to undergo plastic surgery to achieve good looks. Otherwise, if they will choose a good-looking man who is not financially stable, their family may suffer.

Financial capacity plays a significant role in every family. It is important that the man is financially stable especially if the woman depends on his partner. How can a man support and sustain his family if he doesn’t have work and earning for a living?

Men are looking for fertile and healthy women. They want to ensure that the woman can bear high-quality offsprings. Most men also look for women who have the quality not only as a wife but also a mother to their children.

image via google

However, the differences in the preferences of women in choosing a partner depend on the present social organization. The character of a person should be a priority in choosing a partner. The money and the looks are useless if the character of the individual is bad.

Choosing a partner with bad character will make the relationship suffer and worse may end up breaking the family. Good looks can be an advantage in terms of career because many job offers are looking for applicants with a good-looking personality.

When choosing a partner, character, financial stability, and looks are essential. But the most important thing is there must be love and commitment between partners. This way, they can overcome any adversities that may come through their lives. The bottom line of choosing a perfect partner for life is to choose the one you truly love despite the looks and financial capability. source: Psychology Today.The Filipino Times

Free Surgical Operations in Barangay San Antonio, Pasig

Getting sick is expensive. What more if the doctor says that you need to undergo a surgical procedure? Even a simple surgical operation would cost a considerable amount of money. Good if you have a health insurance or a member of PhilHealth. Otherwise, you have no choice but to spend money from your pocket.

For the less fortunate people, it would be difficult to look for money to fund the surgical procedure. Good news for the constituents of Barangay San Antonio, Pasig because the barangay council must find a way to help them.

photo via Barangay San Antonio Pasig City | Facebook

Recently, the barangay chairman of San Antonio, Pasig signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Victor Potenciano Medical Center, Inc (VRPMC). Cited in the agreement is giving opportunity to indigent constituents of the barangay who need to undergo surgical operations free of charges. Surgical operations that cost between Php200,000 to Php500,000 will be given free. This means that the qualified constituents have nothing to worry about the medical expenses.

According to barangay chairman Thomas Raymond Lising, indigent constituents can’t afford to fund expensive surgical procedures. To help the residents get the procedure they need, the barangay council has come up with such a project. Outpatient and inpatient surgical services include gallbladder diseases and gallstone, acute appendicitis, thyroid goiter, and other types of tumor.

The primary beneficiary of the program are the seniors, indigents, and PhilHealth/non-PhilHealth members. The program is a great help to the residents of Barangay San Antonio, Pasig. All they must do is to approach and inquire the barangay council or with the Victor Potenciano Medical Center, Inc. how they can avail the program.

Good job to the head of office of Barangay San Antonio, Pasig for initiating such a project. It won’t only help the residents but also saves life by getting free surgical operation. It is the best way to use the Internal Revenue Allotment that the barangay receives from the national government. {via}

John Lloyd’s French Mediterranean Architecture Family Home

John Lloyd’s French Mediterranean Architecture Family Home

John Lloyd Cruz is one of the most bankable stars on TV and movies before his showbiz hiatus. It’s no wonder that he was able to save up and purchase a magnificent home in a posh subdivision in Antipolo. The actor wanted his house to be casual but elegant so he opted to have a structure with a French Mediterranean appeal and for the interiors, he wanted American design. He had Architects Danny Lucas and Roland Andres to work on the design on his mind. The property sits on a 1,100 sq. m. property.

Facade

When you look at the house from the outside, it’s imposing and grand. It’s inspired by the homes in L.A. There’s an archway at the porch entrance and Italian marble was used for the exterior of the house.

Outdoor Area

There’s a koi fish pond which gives a relaxing welcome as you approach the main door. The family loves this area and even the actor spends time feeding the fish.

Front Door

As guests enter the main door, they will notice the high ceiling which gives the area a touch of elegance and grandeur. The staircase on the left corner leads to the owners’ bedrooms.

Wooden floors were used in the area. It also features cove lighting and an oversized customized clock hangs over the door and which was bought from Arte Espanol. The walls beside the main door have brocade pattern wallpaper while the other walls had been painted with grayish-green.

Powder Room

The powder room is located under the staircase. It has top-notch fixtures as can be seen in hotel rooms. There’s an elegant flower arrangement under the sink top and warm lighting was used.

Dining and Kitchen Area

The dining area was unfinished yet during the photoshoot. It has a ten-seater dining table made from narra. It was bought from Linea Furniture and Murray Feis chandelier hangs over the dining table.

 

The kitchen is one of the favorite spots of John Lloyd. He loves eating breakfast in the area by the window. The area is spacious and the marble-top island can be made into an improvised dining area. Aglo marble was used for the floors and Red Beech veneer was used on the ceiling.

The area has top-of-the-line fixtures, accessories, and appliances. The cabinets have a self-closing system.

Lanai

Right outside of the dining area is a lanai where there’s an eight-seater dining table that can also serve as a holding area while the dinner is being prepared. The area can also be used for casual dining or simply enjoy a coffee and cookies.

Swimming Pool

 

The pool has an infinity sign on the tiled flooring as suggested by a Feng Shui expert. This is to counter bad luck. The construction of the pool wasn’t part of the original plan but John Lloyd changed his mind.

Guest House

The property is spacious so a guest house was also constructed. It measures 80 sq. m. which has a living and dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms.

Lounge Area

 

This spot is where the actor can spend some time alone when he doesn’t have a busy schedule. There’s a bathroom outside this area where guests can also go to. It has first-class fixtures and won’t be left behind by the other parts of the house.

Outdoor Area

There’s a statue which is a replica of Venus de Milo. John Lloyd calls the statue Amanda. This gives a European feel in the outdoor area.

There’s a beautiful garden in the outdoor area where the owners and guests can spend a moment of their time to walk around or simply enjoy the relaxing view it offers. photos via Yes

There are videos on YouTube where people can learn how and since vlogging is the “in” thing nowadays, it has been so helpful in spreading ways to save from your income. Celebrity couple, Richard Poon and Maricar Reyes shared their video on how they manage to save. They use the “envelope system”.

They set aside a certain amount for each expense and put it inside the envelope.

The six-seater dining table with clear glass top is a perfect match to the blue colored walls of the dining room. It has a contemporary chandelier that adds drama to the area. This area is seldom used though because the family usually eats their meals at the kitchen counter or the round table.

The spacious kitchen is very spacious and has a lot of wooden kitchen cabinet.

Entertainment Area

This is the area where the family feels most comfortable. It has two heart-shaped chairs in deep red color. It is complemented by a black sectional sofa.

Bedroom

 

The bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a leather recliner with a foot massager. This spot gives the actor a secluded place to relax.

The room has a bathroom that has a wooden vanity corner. The bedroom and bed have no partition.

Patio

This area is located near the swimming pool and there are no walls so that air can flow freely in this relaxing Zen-inspired area.

Outdoor Area

There’s a bear-shaped swimming pool and it takes about almost all of the space in the backyard. The actor said that they didn’t notice the shape of the pool at once. He only noticed when he was looking down at it from his room.

Ej made also clarification to avoid misinterpretation about her post;

“Gusto ko lang po maging clear para hindi ma mis-interpret ng nakakarami. Rice lang po ang tinanggal ko sa routine ko. Add ko pa yung mga sweets, and anything na mabilis makapag pataas ng timbang. Ni reduce ko yun lahat. As much as kaya kong tiisin, ginawa ko. Even juices, sodas, ni lessen ko. Im not a gym type of girl. May asthma po kasi ako. So nung na discover ko yang cracker diet, super thankful ako kasi nag fit naman sakin. Kumakain pa din ako ng ulam (without rice). Step by step ang ginawa ko. Skyflakes, oatmeal, century tuna with egg, kamote, saging, etc.

After a month, nakita ko n agad ang result. Kaya lalo akong naging motivated sa ginagawa ko. More on water ako that time. After 1 1/2 month, gumamit ako ng sauna suit (nabibili sya online). Day and night ang pag gamit ko. Kasi wala ako work that time ?. Ayun! After 3months of doing it, from 90kls, bumaba ang timbang ko sa 54kls. Nag maintain ako sa 60kls since hindi daw bagay sakin ang masyadong payat. Awa naman po ng Dyos, na achieve ko naman po ang timbang na gusto ko. No more hika this time. ?

Kaya sa mga balak mag try, I know you guys can make it! Wag lang po agad agad. One step at a time. Mahirap pag binigla mo. Baka mag react ang katawan mo, iba mangyari. Hindi ito recommended sa mga working pals out there lalo na mabibigat ang work. Nagawa ko lang po talaga yan dahil wala ako work at madami ako time sa sarili. ?Thank you guys and Godbless! ?”

Filipino Engineer who deisgned the “CUBO” Units wins Award abroad

A Filipino Engineer became another pride of the country for bagging the top prize at the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’ Cities for our Future competition. 23-year-old Earl Patrick Forlales is an engineer from Manila who brought home the top prize amounting to £50,000 or equivalent to Php3.3M for the low-cost housing design he made and can be constructed in 4 hours.

The “CUBO” design of the housing units are made from bamboo. They can be done in just a few hours and can be gathered together easily. The units cost Php3,000.00 only. So light on the budget, right? Fortales said that the units were designed to be a functional home and to turn the waste of the neighborhood into energy and other important resources.

The engineer further explained that he chose bamboo for the project because it releases oxygen more than 35% compared to trees. Bamboos can also be harvested without resulting in soil degradation. The bamboos are also laminated to keep the quality ten times compared to ordinary wood. He also said that his design will be the answer to the increasing rate of informal settlers in Metro Manila.

Another thing, the government’s program; Build, Build, Build will bring jobs to the construction workers. He said that they wanted to give the makers of high-rise buildings to have their own decent houses. He plans to use the prize for the model house he will present to investors. Fortales also plans to construct ten thousand units by 2023.

The engineer’s design is very timely with the ongoing environmental changes that are being conducted all over the world to fight off the effects of climate change. This will also help a lot of the informal settlers in the country so they will have a house to call their own.
