New Prepaid Load Expiry

National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a Memorandum Circular No. 03-07-2009 for the new guidelines on prepaid loads.

According to the new regulations, the expiry or validity of the prepaid loads shall correspond to the amount of loads purchased. Therefore, the higher the value of prepaid loads the longer is the validity or expiry. Here as follows:

Amount of Load Purchased Minimum Expiration | Validity Period
PhP10.00 or lower | Three (3) days
More than PhP10.00 to PhP50.00 | Fifteen (15) days
More than 50.00 to PhP100 | Thirty (30) days
More than 100.00 to PhP150.00 | Forty Five (45) days
More than PhP150.00 to PhP250.00 | Sixty (60) days
More than PhP250.00 to PhP300 | Seventy Five (75) days
More than PhP300 | One Hundred Twenty (120) days

Another thing, if the new load is purchased and you still have unused load on the previous purchased that is still within the validity period, it will then be added to and accumulate to the new load.

It seems that the public were given a big break to get in touch with everyone at the most convenient and economical way.

Happy calling and texting...........

Cocaine in Red Bull



Philippines Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in coordination with Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) is conducting a testing of several brands of energy drinks after reports that there were traces of cocaine found in the popular energy drink "Red Bull" in Hongkong.

Officials at the Centre for Food Safety in Hongkong said that they found a tiny amounts of illegal drug "cocaine" in the samples of Red Bull Cola, Red Bull Sugar-Free and Red Bull Energy Drink, thus eventually issued a statement to take off these products from the supermarkets as it cases danger to the public.

Meanwhile, BFAD has not yet issued a stock pull out order on these products while the test is ongoing.

Beer Contains Female Hormones

Warning!!! To the men who drinks beer to much.

Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional.
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally.
8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary.

Milk Crisis in China

Milk Crisis in China continue to spread as latest tests revealed that an industrial chemical known as"melamine" were found in three of the country's leading dairy companies.

Melamine is a toxic industrial chemical that can cause kidney stones and lead to kidney failure. It has no nutritional value but is high in nitrogen, making products with it appear higher in protein. Suppliers trying to cut costs are believed to have added it to watered-down milk to cover up the resulting protein deficiency.

Tainted milk is the main reason for killing four infants and sickening 50,000 others.

BFAD Director Leticia Gutierrez directed all importers and distributors of “registered milk products from China to immediately stop temporarily from further importing, distributing, selling and offering for sale.

The "Singapore Flyer" which is currently considered as the world's highest observation wheel. It stands 165 meters high from the ground with a diameter of 150 meters. So, most likely you are in a 42-storey building. Unlike a regular Ferris wheel, it comes with 28 capsules - air conditioned - and said to contained as much as 28 persons. It cost S$29.50 for a 30 minutes ride.





The ride will bring you magnificent view most of Singapore and some parts of its neighboring countries: Malaysia and Indonesia.





You should not miss it in your list when you're in Singapore. Looking forward to ride this November 2008.
