It’s Just a Tie : Japanese Versus Filipino Culture

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Every country in the world has their own culture. If you live in a country that has no culture, will you still consider it as one?

As far as I know, you can state a country if they have their own culture, language, money sign and government.

This article is about Japanese and Filipino Culture and how I could say that IT’S JUST A TIE!

As we can see in the Philippines, Vendo machines are not so popular in our country. Why? Because other people will just steal what is inside it.

While in Japan even though, money bursts out from the vendo machine some may not care about it and some who’s incharge will just call a technician to repair and fix it.

Top Ten Scenes in the Philippines During Flooding Season

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Resilient is being capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or rupture. It is the tendency to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.

Are we supposed to be cheering and shouting hurray to the Filipino people for once again showing resilience in the midst of the tragic flooding that is now occurring in the Philippines brought about by typhoon Maring?

We are definitely strong and determined to surpass all hardships brought about by the floods and other similar inconveniences brought about by man or nature. We would always come out smiling and hoping for the best. We are a remarkable race indeed.

I know the Filipino is worth dying for - as what Ninoy Aquino have said. But are we truly worthy of praises when we keep on seeing ourselves suffering from the same disasters we know will eventually happen but couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything to prevent it from happening?

Here's my top ten scenes in the Philippines that I would normally see during the flooding season.

Strengthening its customer loyalty program Globe Rewards, Globe Telecom forged a partnership with Philippine Airlines (PAL) to allow its frequent flyers to convert their PAL Mabuhay Miles to Globe rewards points.

Subscribers can use rewards points to redeem items from the Globe Rewards catalog such as Globe services, shopping, dining and leisure items, gadgets, and gift certificates. Recently, using the point-to-peso conversion of 1 point = P1.00, subscribers are given more options to redeem their points, where rewards points can now be used as cash to purchase items from partner merchants.
