Look: dozens of dressed chickens prepared by a restaurant is now gaining rounds online. This is by far, one of the worst food preparations that you can witness due to the way they are handling their food before serving it to the public. As a person, you don't allow yourself getting involved in this situation, especially if you happen to be the victim of food poisoning. For consumers, this scenario is regarded as their worst nightmare, especially when they discover that the food that they eat were prepared in an unsanitary environment.<br />
<br />
The person who uploaded the photo did not reveal his identity when he posted the photos online. The photos originally circulated in Nairobi Kenya, in particular to Tom Mboya street. Authorities in Nairobi ordered a mass investigation to all establishments along that street and nearby communities to ensure that food preparations follow standard sanitation protocols. However, authorities failed to identify the exact location of the photos.<br />

Through the narration of the person who uploaded the photos, the person narrated that he went to a wet market to buy some chickens. He went to a certain store where prices are a little bit lower than nearby stores and bought some pieces of dressed chickens. While waiting for the staff to prepare for his order, he felt a sudden urge from his bladder and asked the sales person to use their comfort room.<br />
<br />
The salesperson guided him the directions towards the exact location of the comfort room. But before arriving in the toilet, he was surprised to see that all dressed chickens were just scattered on the floor of the dirty restroom. The chickens were just inches away from the toilet bowl. The urinary urgency was diverted due to shock from what he saw in the toilet. He quickly took photos of it and then returned to the sales person. The man returned his order and went to another retail outlet to buy other food products.<br />
<br />
The photos of dressed chickens that were splattered on the floor of a dirty toilet are one of the unexpected reality how people neglect the safety of others. As a consumer, you always ensure that the food that you eat is prepared safely. Basing from the photos, there is a high risk that people who consume these chickens prepared in a dirty environment can encounter life-threatening diseases that might cause permanent injuries to their bodies upon eating contaminated foods.<br />
<br />
Eating contaminated foods can risk your health to a variety of diseases. These are cholera, hepatitis, severe diarrhea, fungal infections, and other derivatives of viral or bacterial infections. Eating contaminated food can risk your digestive tract to acquire different types of worms that can further compete with nutrient absorption.<br />
<br />
A restaurant or a retailer can be fined if they are caught preparing their food products in an unhealthy environment. Owners and workers can be apprehended due to mishandling food products and then selling it to their clients.<br />
<br />
Aside from being fined between hundreds to tens of thousands of an amount, owners or workers responsible for unhealthy preparation of food can be imprisoned that takes place between months until years.<br />
<br />
Business establishments who will be caught selling contaminated or preparing dirty food products will have their licenses revoked by the authorities. A violating business establishment will be banned from establishing another retail store to prevent repeat offenses in the future.<br />
<br />
This is a clear reminder that as consumers, we should always investigate our safety, especially when buying food products before consuming them. It is important if the establishment is legit enough to operate their businesses. Checking business permits and sanitary permits will ensure that these establishments are operating legally.<br />
<br />
Checking the facilities that are used to prepare food products should be initially observed before buying them. We should use our senses as a way to observe any warning signs to prevent our health from being at risk. Example is to find any signs of dirty environment or foul smelling materials.<br />

<br />
<b>1. A protector of syndicate leaders and Lords:</b> Leila De Lima has been tagged by the president as one of the protectors of high-profile detainees responsible for circulating prohibited substances. She has been allegedly protecting all the leaders of syndicates, which was the reason why these high-profile law-breakers were able to live a luxurious lifestyle even if they are inside the prison facility in the Philippines.<br />

<br />
<b>2. Detaining other senators: </b>De Lima was responsible for ordering warrants against other senators of the Philippines while she was the Secretary of Justice. These senators were granted bail and now firing back against De Lima's treatment against the involved personalities. And now, these affected senators are now siding with the current president, citing that her strategic implementation of due process was inaccurate enough that have had successfully destroyed their political and personal image.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>3. Against Rodrigo Duterte's ideologies:</b> De Lima has been known to be the most outspoken public official who voiced out against Duterte's disciplinary campaign against criminals. This is based on her appointment as the former head of the Commission on Human Rights. As an advocate against human rights abuse, she strongly disagrees with the implementation of capital punishment against criminal offenders who were guilty of a criminal act.<br />
<br />
<b>4. De Lima is an ally of Aquino government:</b> Leila was one of the pillars of Aquino's administration, being the former head of the justice department. After the election, in which a new president has been elected with a new platform of governance, there has been a huge shift of support due to an immense amount of infatuation towards the leadership of the incumbent president. Most hated the Aquino administration due to incompetencies and inconsistencies with the due process. And now, De Lima is suffering from consequences of an unsolved due process during the Aquino administration.<br />

<b><br /></b> <b>5. The alleged love affair with the driver: </b>There were numerous speculations regarding De Lima's real score with her driver. However, both De Lima and her driver denied allegations of having a romantic relationship since De Lima has her own family and the same with her driver. This personal issue involving these two individuals is now the subject of memes circulating across the internet.<br />
<br />
<b>6. De Lima's driver is involved with illegal substance trade: </b>Another speculation was about the involvement of De Lima's driver with the distribution, trade, and use of illegal substance. Her driver is one of the collectors of either illegal substances or illegal substance money generated from the trade of these prohibited items in the Bilibid located in Muntinlupa City. He is the alleged collector and is now planned by the president to turn as a witness against De Lima.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Unexplained wealth allegations:</b> Another issue is now being tagged with De Lima's driver. This is about the unexplained properties being constructed in Pangasinan. These are two houses that were believed to be the residence of De Lima's driver. The property appears to be properly designed and constructed in a manner that it appears to be owned by either middle income or upper-income household. A driver clearly cannot own two houses with a wage that is only enough to buy basic needs for his family.<br />

As she was tagged in several controversies by the president himself, she was told by the Arroyos to feel the pressure of Karma.<br />
<br />
<b>9. She is the subject of online cyberbullying: </b>Let's face it!!! Cyberbullying is the process of shaming and defaming an individual, group, or organization online. She is the perfect example, which has been the center of memes that we usually see online. Being the center of discussion generates emotional influence to the netizens that can make them irate against De Lima. Online shaming is one of the main contributors why she is now regarded as the most controversial woman in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Leila De Lima is expected to be charged with numerous lawsuits:</b> With the announcement of the president himself, De Lima is expectedly going to face multiple charges. This is brought about her involvement with allegations that could endanger her political career. If you are strongly being ridiculed by the head of state, you expect that something will happen that could really break your heart.<br />

<br />
In this case of Sarah Duterte's pregnancy, this is a rare case scenario for a certain family to bear triplets. Having a multifetal pregnancy is a very delicate case because you have to care for three growing fetuses, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy.<br />
<br />
Sarah is now rarely seen in public because her obstetricians are now advising her to take extra precaution. Mayor Duterte stated to the public that she has been suffering from complications due to multifetal pregnancy at the first trimestral period of her pregnancy. She needs more time to take a rest rather than exposing her to environmental, physiological, physical, and emotional related stress that would affect her health.<br />
<br />
Some complications include bloody discharges from the uterus, excessive nausea and vomiting, burning during urination, headache, swelling of the calf, and intermittent high blood pressure. Since she is expecting three babies that will be expected to be delivered on April next year, there will be a more severe complications as she is expecting triplets. Aside from these symptoms and complications, Sarah's health is expected to be weaker than usual because her body starts to compliment with the growing three babies inside her womb.<br />
<br />
Jeffrey Tupas, which is Davao City's information officer stated that Sarah will still continue her duties and responsibilities as Mayor of Davao City. She will be complimented by her brother Paolo Duterte, which is the city's vice mayor.<br />
<br />
Expecting triplets is a very crucial scenario because, during pregnancy, the expectant mother should always balance her health, diet, and emotional integrity. This is because there are three lives who are at risk for any threats and risks brought about by the severe symptoms and complications during pregnancy.<br />
<br />
Mayor Sarah Duterte is also offering a public apology to the City of Davao as well as to the entire Philippines for not being usually seen in public. She is also urging for support and prayers as she is now experiencing a very delicate pregnancy.<br />
<br />
Sarah Duterte is the daughter incumbent president Rodrigo Duterte, who is the 15th Philippine President. She is the second child of Duterte's first wife, Elizabeth Zimmerman.<br />
<br />
Sarah Duterte has two children; namely, Sharky Duterte and Mateo Lucas Duterte.<br />

Congratulations, Mayor Sarah Duterte<br />

Nuestra Belleza Latina 2016 Clarissa Molina sparks controversy after gaining weight

<br />
Just months after winning Nuestra Belleza Latina 2016, Clarissa Molina appears to have gained weight. Her latest appearance sparked controversies because as a beauty queen, a role model should always maintain their shape and physique because they have already gained inspiration by using their beauty and appearance to let others follow their healthy lifestyle. In the case of Clarissa Molina, she apparently doing something that could risk her reputation from "fab" to "fat".<br />
<br />
As a beauty queen, gaining weight is considered a big issue because it can cause you your crown. In the case of Clarissa, she is at risk of losing her crown due to her latest appearance for looking bulkier as compared when she joined Nuestra Belleza. Molina can also generate several disappointments from several brands that she currently promotes because she looks different since the day that she was crowned as Nuestra Belleza Latina. The worst possible scenario is that the first runner-up of Nuestra Belleza will take over and replacing Clarissa.<br />

</tbody></table>
Look closer, Clarissa's appearance is clearly different from what we saw from her during the past international beauty pageant competitions. Her neck area gained some volume, making her look different. Her legs also obviously gained more bulk as compared during the coronation night of Nuestra Belleza as well as when she participated in Miss Universe 2015.<br />
<br />
Due to her latest appearance, Clarissa has been gaining several memes from her photos posted online. While wearing the crown in a blue blouse and white-colored jeans. Her latest photo reveals that she looks different from what we see on her during the coronation night of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2016. She was also compared when she joined Miss Universe 2016. Her chin visibly shows that there is some slight changes because there are baby fats formed around it.<br />
<br />
Many are wondering how she got to appear bulkier. She might be probably eating out of control, making her look different since the past national and international pageants that she joined. Her fans are concerned that she might look more different due to her uncontrollable diet regimen that could further make her look more different. As an international pageant titleholder, Clarissa Molina is urged to consider her current physique in order to prevent any consequences that could affect her pageant career in the future.<br />
<br />
Several photos of Clarissa Molina are now posted on various social media websites. Her recent photos are drawing various criticisms by pageant fanatics, fashion guru, and critics in the pageant industry. As a beauty queen who appears to gain more weight, she is probably under investigation by the officials of the pageant she joined to determine if there is a need for an emergent solution for her current body physique.<br />
<br />
Clarissa Molina won Miss Dominican Republic Universe in 2015 and gained the license to participate in Miss Universe 2016. She successfully entered the semifinalist round. Pia Wurtzbach from the Philippines won Miss Universe 2015 that was held in the United States.<br />
<br />
Clarissa joined Nuestra Belleza Latina, which is a reality show international beauty pageant organized by the pageant group of Osmel Suiza. She was declared as the winner, representing her country Dominican Republic on May 22, 2016. It is a back-to-back win for her country, the Dominican Republic.<br />
<br />
Molina previously joined Nuestra Belleza Latina in 2015 and was placed as the 3rd runner-up. Francisca Lachapel of Dominican Republic won as the winner in 2015.<br />
<br />
Molina was born in Santiago de los Caballeros Dominican Republic on September 23, 1991. At the age of 11, she moved to the United States where she continued her education and later on sought for a greener pasture.<br />
<br />
The organizers of Nuestra Belleza Latina have yet to respond regarding the weight issues of Clarissa Molina. She is also yet to respond with the growing criticisms regarding her latest appearance that made her look different as compared during the coronation night.<br />
<br />
In 1996, Alicia Machado from Venezuela who won Miss Universe was also criticized for suddenly gaining weight months after winning the pageant. She was heavily lambasted by the media due to her poor diet management that made her look bulky.

Cory Aquino's dog buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani creates controversy

<br />
The late president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has been protested by several political groups, personalities, and organizations against his burial in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Hero's Burial Cemetery). They are protesting against the decision of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's decision to finally laid the president to his resting place. Since Duterte's approval, continuous protests were organized by various leftists and activists and appealing for the reverse in the decision to bury the late president of the Philippines. Protesters against the burial of Marcos was organized on August 14, 2016, despite torrential rains affecting the whole country.<br />
<br />
But things are slowly shifting towards the former pet dog of the late President Cory Aquino. Her pet dog was given a full military honors during burial in 1982. During the time of the former president's pet burial, no one managed to file a complaint during this time. And now, people realizes that there is a reason to file a protest against the burial of the president's dog. This is because it has just been recently they realized that a pet or animal can be buried in the cemetery with the initiation of the former president's pet dog that received full military honors.<br />

The late President Cory Aquino ruled the country after winning a snap election in 1986, ending the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. She led the Philippines for at least six years until 1992. She was succeeded by former president Fidel V. Ramos who also ruled the country from 1992 to 1998.<br />
<br />
Critics are just wondering how a pet dog managed to be buried in the Heroe's burial without any protesters when it was given a full military honor. And now, supporters and some members of the Aquino clan and administration are now organizing protests against the burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Supporters might not have been aware regarding the burial of former president's pet dog who received a rare military honor inside the Heroe's burial place in Manila.<br />
<br />
President Marcos has been protested against the decision of the current Duterte's administration to handed him a proper burial at the Heroe's burial place. Protesters indicate that Marcos was a dictator, who made a large-scale misery to the Philippines during his 20-year rule in the country. Human Rights were significantly violated due to his implementation of Martial Law. There were missing personalities who were never found as well as activists against the Marcos administration who were executed by the members of the military and police force.<br />

<br />
According to the law, there are several reasons why a person should have the right to be buried in the "Libingan ng mga Bayani". These are the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>If a person is an awardee of Medal of Valor</li>
<li>Commanders of the State</li>
<li>President of the country</li>
<li>National Defense Secretary</li>
<li>Police Chief of Army Chief</li>
<li>Philippine Revolution veterans of 1898</li>
<li>Government dignitaries</li>
<li>National artists</li>
</ul>
<div>
These are the bases why Duterte decided to bury former president Ferdinand Marcos in the Heroe's burial place. Despite controversies, he believes that his approval would end the conflicts between the Marcoses and the Aquinos. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, it was not clear how a certain pet was allowed to be buried in the Heroe's burial place with full military honors. Investigations are now ongoing whether there will be another legal ruling with regards to the burial of a pet inside the Heroe's burial, especially that the pet was given a full military honor. </div>

Who is Radio DJ Karen Bordador who was arrested for violating R.A. 9165

<br />
Since there were many public officials who were tagged due to their involvement with illegal substance use and distribution, the entertainment industry is now the next target by the Duterte administration. Karen Bordador is now the latest personality that is causing a hot seat of conversation by various mass media outlets. You can always see her face being posted on various social media websites. But many are wondering about this personality who has been the center of discussion by media outlets. These include television, print media, radio, and online social media.<br />
<br />
Karen Bordador was tagged due to her involvement with the possession of prohibited substance. She was caught with several illegal substances that prompted authorities to put her into jail. Not only Karen, police also detained Karen's boyfriend, Emilio Lim, who was tagged with the alleged use, possession, and probably distribution of illegal substances. The couple's arrest made headlines across the country due to Duterte's intense campaign against prohibited use of illegal substances.<br />

Under R.A. 9165 under the comprehensive dangerous drug act of the Philippines, this is a law that prohibits the use, possession, and distribution of illegal substances. Any person who will be caught with the use, possession, manufacturing, and distribution of these illegal substances can be subjected to detention with a corresponding fine.<br />
<br />
So who is Karen Bordador? She is a radio personality known as DJ Karen under RX 93.1 Monster Radio. As a DJ, she is usually a public icon to the public while serving as a radio personality, moderating songs to cater the musical needs of the public. As a famous radio DJ, she is patronized by several followers of Monster Radio. However, Karen's charm and reputation can be tarnished by a single snap for being involved in illegal substances.<br />
<br />
Karen Bordador is also the founder of <a href="http://www.sistersecrets.com.ph/" target="_blank">Sister Secrets</a>, the largest female social media forum. This is a site where people in the Philippines are able to shop, share, and experience bonding moments with other girls who wants to maximize the use of online transactions. Karen also has a personal blog named as <a href="http://karenadorador.com/" target="_blank">Miss Brigthside </a>where it features all about her.<br />
<br />
Karen is also a model, being featured in several local fashion magazines locally. She appeared in several print media displayed in the public such as billboards. Brands who featured her will now start to think twice if they will either still continue featuring her or not.<br />
<br />
Miss Bordador is technically regarded as an actress. She was one of the guest cast from a local television sit-com "LUV-U" in 2012. Karen also appeared in "Anino't Panaginip: The hidden chapters of immortal" in 2010.<br />
<br />
Karen's public image can automatically fall apart due to her involvement with the illegal use and distribution of substances. Bordador can be fired from her current job as a DJ due to her strained personal image to the public.<br />
<br />
Earlier, Karen, along with her boyfriend, Emilio Lim was arrested because someone from previously arrested felon tagged Emilio of his involvement with illegal substance use and distribution. Police authorities began to initiate a surveillance to Emilio for some time and decided to raid his condo unit.<br />
<br />
As based on Karen's defense, she claims that she was not doing anything wrong. She was just visiting her boyfriend during the time police raided Emilio's condo unit.<br />
<br />
Authorities counter-arguments her claim, stating that they directly found several prohibited items such as party substances, cannabis, and cannabis oil.<br />
<br />
Other mainstream local and national DJ expressed their support for Karen and urges the authorities to dismiss the case and set Karen free.

Technically, Rita is now regarded as a celebrity, not only online but also to the entertainment industry as she is now regularly watched in a television reality series.<br />
<br />
Many are now wondering, what is the real identity of this young, effervescent, and attractive young woman. After being discovered by a local photographer, Rita's life changed permanently when her photos went viral on the internet. This is because she was just tagged as "Badjao Girl", which is a term that is now circulating online. Since several mainstream media made an exclusive interview with this young girl, there were several insightful details that were revealed to the public about the life and identity of Rita Gabiola.<br />

Let us start from her discovery, photographer Topher Quinto Burgos was just taking random pictures when he noticed a young woman begging on the streets of Lucban, a town in Quezon province. Burgos was in Lucban to observe the "Pahiyas" annual festival in Lucban, Quezon. Topher noticed that this girl possesses a unique aura that can potentially complement all angles of photography. When he started taking pictures of Rita, Topher began to notice her unique facial features with a strong photogenic aura.<br />
<br />
Topher Quinto posted Rita's photos on his personal social media account and published it in public. This was just an ordinary day for Topher, considering that the photos were meant to partially fulfill their photography documentary. He tagged the photos as "Badjao Girl" since he did not personally communicated with Rita during the time when he captured her photos. Topher was not expecting that the picture of Badjao girl went a phenomenal hit when it became viral all over the place.<br />
<br />
The life story of Badjao girl details a simple story. Rita Gabiola was born in Zamboanga City in 2003. She is now 13-years-old. Her father is Danny Gabiola and her mother is Marites Gabiola. Gabiola family was struggling in Zamboanga City due to limited opportunities. The family fled to Manila to search for a better life. But they finally settled in Lucena City. Since then, the Gabiola family is now fulfilling their socio-economic lifestyle in Lucena and its surrounding towns in Quezon province.<br />
<br />
When the photo was taken sometime in May, schools are closed for summer vacation. Rita took the advantage of begging in the streets as one of the best ways to earn a living. Through begging, she can earn to help her parents pay for her tuition as well as to help her family sustain their basic needs such as food.<br />
<br />
Danny Gabiola is the bread winner of the family. Marites Gabiola is a plain housewife but helps the family to sustain their basic needs by begging and selling anything to gain any financial opportunities that she can get. Being a fisherman is not an easy job to do; however, it is the only thing that Rita's father know to sustain their family's needs. Technically, the family is considered living below the poverty line due to a very low annual income.<br />
<br />
Rita was supposed to be enrolling for this school year to continue her studies as a grade 7 student. But things changed when her photos became viral on the internet and then currently became a celebrity in mainstream media.<br />
<br />
After Rita's photos went viral, several talent agencies, magazines, and entertainment agencies approached her. Rita initially made a makeover further enhancing her natural beauty by showing her unique bone structure in her photos that were published publicly.<br />
<br />
After being noticed when her transformation photos were published, Rita was now given several opportunities in both the entertainment and from public service industries.<br />
<br />
Rita is now one of the recipients of scholarships granted by the City government of Lucena under the initiative of the city's Mayor Roderick Alcala. The city government is now assisting Rita's family that will provide employment opportunities to improve their current socio-economic lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Rita is also granted with an educational scholarships by several foundation agencies such as the Kapamilya foundation. Rita hopes that she can finish her studies as a future licensed teacher. This is to provide her the opportunity to become an inspiration to other members of Badjao group by instilling the importance of education.<br />
<br />
Now, Rita signed several contracts with these talent agencies. One of these contracts is for being an official housemate of Pinoy Big Brother. The public can now take a glimpse of Rita while staying inside Big Brother's house that is televised daily.<br />
<br />
Rita Gabiola hopes to further stay in the entertainment industry so that she can earn much that will forever lift her family's socio-economic status.<br />
<br />
The term "Badjao" is a group of an ethnic minority in the Philippines that is regarded as sea dwellers. These are indigent tribe who spend most of their time fishing and stay in the seas for most of their lives. Badjao traverses the seas of South China Sea, Philippine Sea, Celebes Sea, Gulf of Thailand, Molucca Sea, Banda Sea, Java Sea, Sulu Sea, and other local seas in Southeast Asia.<br />
<br />
When this group visits the land, begging is one of the most prominent ways for them to gain savings as most of them are illiterate. Begging is the easiest way for this group to earn a living because it does not require any skill or educational attainment.<br />
