5 reasons why the packing and delivery of relief goods by the DSWD made positive responses

<br />
The relief goods from the Department of Social Welfare and Development reached the areas affected by super typhoon Haima in the northern part of Luzon in the Philippines. The delivery comes in a pile of boxes through a cargo truck from Manila, which came to the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, and Apayao. The victims were thankful that they've receives the relief goods from the government who wants to ensure that they provide an immediate relief for the worst affected areas where the tropical disturbance visited a few days ago.<br />
<br />
The Department of Social Welfare Services and Development (DSWD) is a local government agency in the Philippines responsible for responding to depressed areas whenever there are disturbances brought about by natural or manmade calamities. Under the initiative of the Duterte administration, the DSWD made an impressive feedback for responding quickly even if the storm has yet to leave the country. The response is also coordinated by other government agencies who are now working together to restore power, accessibility, and infrastructure productivity of the affected areas brought about by the super typhoon Haima that battered the northern Luzon province in the Philippine island of Luzon.<br />

Super typhoon Haima is the strongest tropical disturbance to hit the Philippines this year and it by far, the strongest super typhoon to have landed in the Philippines that formed in the western pacific basin. Haima is locally known as typhoon Lawin under the jurisdiction of Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Before landfall, the disturbance made a peak speed of 315 kilometers per hour near the center with gustiness of 350 kilometers area in a wide 800-kilometer diameter.<br />
<br />
The super typhoon traversed the northern region of Luzon, passing through the provinces of Cagayan, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte before reaching the South China Sea. The storm made a history in the Philippines for being the first to let PAGASA raise Signal Number 5, which is the highest signal for a super typhoon to visit the Philippines. Signal Number 5 is raised for a storm that reaches a wind speed of more than 221 kilometers per hour near the center. The storm may just pass the country for at least 24 hours, but it caused a significant damage to infrastructures.<br />
<br />
More than a dozen individuals perished when the super typhoon hammered that particular area of the Philippines. Damage to infrastructures and agriculture reached an estimated average of at least three million dollars in US currency. However, the amount of costs and loss of lives were far lesser as compared to the damages brought about by super typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda that battered the Visayas islands in the central Philippine archipelago. This is because residents in northern Luzon was informed about the storm's path and made an earlier preparation to prevent being at risk from the hazards that can be brought about by the typhoon.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">5 Reasons why DSWD relief goods generated a positive feedback</span></u></b></div>
<br />
<b>1. Delivered on time:</b> The Department of Social Welfare and Development agency immediately packed relief goods and then delivered to the affected areas in the Northern Luzon island. The shipments reached the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Apayao, and Cagayan, which were the hardest hit areas from the onslaught of the typhoon. Even if the typhoon was still on land, the DSWD managed to ensure that the basic needs of the affected residents in the area are given temporary relief goods to prevent starvation.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Packed in boxes: </b>More is better!!! This time, the DSWD created a new system when handing out temporary relief goods for the residents affected by natural and manmade calamities. From the usual plastic bags containing relief goods items, the agency decided that it is better to deliver the items in a form of boxes. Affected households will be delighted to receive such items because they know that there will be more goods that are easily carried by anyone receiving the boxes directly from the delivery trucks.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>3. Long-term relief good: </b>Each household is given a box containing relief goods, which is a new scenario that will always apply for those who will be affected by any disasters. As a victim, you seek for a longer period of food supply to allow more time for you to find for a temporary job or solution to prevent your family from starvation. One box could mean that your family will have at least more than two weeks of basic needs. In contrast with relief goods containing at least a three-day supply would make you clamor for more food.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Less susceptible to spoilage:</b> A box containing relief goods are better than a plastic bag that is handed out to the affected households. A box has a stronger casing to pack the relief goods together from any environmental stressors or influence that might cause any possibility for spoilage. If the relief items are packed in just a bag of plastic, it can easily destroy by any environmental factors that shorten the viability for the food to be consumed. This means that having a strong protective barrier helps to lengthen the viability of items that is available for consumption.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Less time and effort:</b> For government response team, the new strategic process applied by the current administration indicates that it is easier to provide relief goods for the households affected by the disasters. Stock personnel can just pile up the boxes to a container van that is just a few minutes away to transport the items to the designated areas for the affected areas anywhere in the country. Government personnel may not need to sort out the contents of the relief goods from the box because it takes more time, money, and effort to do it before delivering it to affected households that are in critical condition.<br />
<br />
Residents are hopeful that this system will be implemented even after the current administration will be taken over by the next leader after six years.<br />

Since it is categorized as a super typhoon, this storm is carrying a storm surge of at least more than 10 meters or at least 2-storey building. It can wash away structures, vegetation, and anything in its path, leaving a trail of destruction. The storm is expected to swell the coastal area with an impressive wind gust accompanied by heavy rains to affected areas. This weather disturbance is expected to do more damage than that of typhoon Sarika when it hit the Philippines 5 days ago.<br />
<br />
Super Typhoon Haima reminds the Philippines about the last destructive super typhoon that hit the Visayas region in 2013. Super typhoon Haiyan was the strongest weather disturbance that hit on land in meteorological history that cost the country with a whopping amount of $6 billion worth of damage that affected its gross domestic product. Haima could repeat the history if it will reach similar maximum sustained winds before crashing on the landmass of northern Luzon island. The typhoon's well-defined eye is an indicative sign that it has developed dangerously with a very strong wind gusts and heavy downpours of rain along its eyewall.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">7 safety facts to do when a super typhoon such as Haima will approach your land</span></u></b></div>
<b><br /></b> <b>1. Always refer to news agencies for latest updates:</b> Super typhoon Haima is a serious weather disturbance because of its great strength. This is the reason why news updates are important to know if your area will be affected or not. If it does, preparation should be the first thing in mind as well as search for an evacuation site for you to secure your safety when the storm arrives in your area. News agencies are expected to provide weather updates in relation with the storm's condition every 6 hours until it will exit your country's area of responsibility.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>2. Charge your external batteries:</b> Expect that power outage will be experienced in areas that are greatly affected by the strong typhoon. Power banks are just an example of external batteries that are rechargeable. Power lines hanging across the streets will be completely destroyed by this extensive weather disturbance. For those wealthy enough to acquire power generators, this is the perfect time to use it for as long as they will store kerosene to produce electricity that is enough for one household unit.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Never pass through flooded areas:</b> Wild animals from the forests or jungles are usually displaced when a very strong weather disturbance threatens their ecological area. There are numerous venomous species of wild animals that could pose another threat to your safety whenever you risk your life venturing to flooded waters. Aside from venomous animals, opportunistic animals such as crocodiles, pythons, and feral animals could mistakenly identify you as a prey. Avoid going to flooded areas such as rivers and plains to prevent encountering these dangerous animals.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Stay away from the coastline: </b>Super typhoons storms that can carry a storm surge reaching up to 10 meters high. Storm surge can rapidly flood a town or urban areas, flushing anything that it can reach. Meteorologists compare storm surge to tsunamis due to the great volume of water that rapidly reaches the affected area, which is usually in coastal areas. You should distance yourself for at least more than 10 kilometers from the shoreline because you are dealing with a super typhoon with a well-defined eye that is packed with an extremely destructive force winds.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Avoid going to hillsides: </b>Heavy moisture can loosen the foundation of mountain sides, allowing its slopes to slide down that could cause a landslide, mudslides, or rockslides. If you are dealing with a super typhoon, it is better for you to stay away from mountain sides because you don't want yourself to be buried alive in an unexpected scenario. Landslide is another natural hazard when the side of the hill or mountain starts to loosen up and slides down due to the pull of the gravity towards the bottom of the mountain.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Save your most important documents:</b> It is important that sealing your documents in water resistant containers prevents it from getting damaged. This includes storing it inside a cling wrap, plastic container, or plastic cabinet. These are your IIdentificationcard, birth certificate, certificate of employment, diploma, land titles, and other important documents that can be potentially damaged by any moisture. Place these documents in an elevated area so that when your home is affected by flooding, your documents is safe.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Always ask for help: </b>It is important to alert anyone if you are affected by the onslaught of the typhoon. This is because it will help you get away from the hazard zone. You can call the authorities by just dialing 911 to allow rescue personnel to search your area and then bring you to a safer place. There are both private and private institutions or agencies available to offer rescue missions. These are the Red Cross, Local Government Units, Disaster Management Agencies, and the Philippine Army to provide humanitarian efforts.<br />

Since he died on September 28, 1989, his body still did not had any proper burial rites, which is still currently being settled by his family to the government. However, the Marcos family will take a very long step towards reaching this situation as their wishes to bury the former president has been hampered by their critics.<br />
<br />
President Ferdinand Marcos remains are set to be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani or Hero's Cemetery in Manila, Philippines. President Rodrigo Duterte is in favor of burying the former leader of the Philippines because he was after all, a leader of the country for several years. Duterte is firm to follow the wishes of President Ferdinand Marcos to the Hero's Cemetery where other former leaders of the Philippines are currently buried.

The supposed move for Marcos burial was then scheduled on August 23, 2016. However, the court magistrates of the Supreme Court of the Philippines decided to postpone the vote and moved to September 18. However, a petition was filed to stop the decision to vote, delaying the decision on October 18. Similar scenario happened on October 18, 2016, which moved to November 18, 2016.<br />
<br />
When former President Ferdinand Marcos was on his dying stage in 1989, he requested the government to let his remains buried in the Hero's cemetery. Marcos also wanted that his body shall be returned back to the Philippines after his death. He pledged 90% of his total wealth to the Filipino people in exchange for his request. It was during Cory Aquino's term as the President of the Philippines when Marcos died. She then denied his request to bury his remains, citing numerous legal issues related to the Martial Law regime.<br />
<br />
The Aquino family is regarded as the nemesis of the Marcos family due to the political rivalry between the former President Ferdinand Marcos versus former Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. The climax of rivalry between the Aquinos and Marcoses erupted when Benigno Aquino Jr. was assassinated in Manila International Airport, which is now renamed under his name. The airport is now known as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, which is the main gateway of the Philippines. When the Aquino's took over as the head of state, Cory Aquino rejected all requests by the Marcoses and filed numerous lawsuits, counting to at least several thousands of cases.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Why Marcos should be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani?</span></b></div>
</div>
<br />
Ferdinand Marcos was after all, a former president of the Philippines. He served at least 20 years, keeping the Philippines a well-disciplined country in Asia. However, there were numerous political rivals that took the Marcos leadership in peril due to politicking and unstable governance. But still, Ferdinand was one of the greatest presidents in the Philippines according to some supporters who are still loyal to the Marcoses until this day.<br />

<br />
During his term as a president, the Philippine economy grew rapidly in the first 5 years of Marcos leadership. The peso equalized with the US dollar, which was a significant achievement during his term as the president. The production of local products in the Philippines made the country as the top producers of agricultural products such as rice, banana, mangoes, and coffee. This made the Philippines as one of the most prosperous countries in Asia during his presidency.<br />
<br />
Although former president has a debatable issue as a former army, he was still regarded as a former army personnel. He was a former army reservist under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and served during the Second World War when the Japanese forces invaded the Philippines. During the occupation of the Japanese, all Filipino and American soldiers including Marcos surrendered to Japan.<br />
<br />
<b>Why Marcos should not be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani?</b><br />
<br />
The most reliable reason is when Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law On September 21, 1971 under the Proclamation number 1081. He made himself both as the Prime Minister as well as the President of the Philippines at the same time. During Martial Law, the Philippines started to suffer from the Dark Ages because Marcos leadership as the head of state started losing his legitimacy to his constituents.<br />

<br />
Numerous human rights issues were reported and documented by government agencies during that time that were not solved. Examples are the police brutality, which was one of the major concerns by means of torturing the victims while they were detained. Abducting innocent civilians were widespread during the Martial Law. Some abducted individuals were never found until this day, which made the families disappointed with the the application of Martial Law.<br />
<br />
The influence of Aquino family and leadership is still widespread across the country. Aquinos definitely does not want Ferdinand Marcos' remains to be buried, citing numerous legal pleas that will give a full force to stop any means to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. The outgoing president was Benigno Aquino III, which is the son of the former Senator who was assassinated at the Manila International Airport that is now called as Ninoy Aquino International Airport. They believe that Marcos family is behind Benigno Aquino Jr.'s assassination.<br />
<br />
The question is, does former president Ferdinand Marcos deserve to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani?

Should Former Philippine President Ferdinand Emmanual E.Marcos buried to Hero's Cemetery?

The burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos is still under debate due to legal battles between Marcos loyalists and anti-Marcos support...

<br />
Ninoy Aquino International Airport is once again making headlines due to numerous issues that concern every traveler. This time, this main gateway in Manila is tagged as one of the worst airports in continental Asia. The airport ranks as the fifth worst airports around the continent, generating mass media attention to both local and international networks. The ranking was made by a famous website, which is <a href="http://www.sleepinginairports.net/2016/worst-airports-asia.htm" target="_blank">Sleeping in Airports</a>, showing several other airports across the Asian countries that are apparently problematic for travelers.<br />
<br />
The result came after a survey conducted to travelers who have been in these airports in a certain time in their lifetime. Participants are able to comment their perception regarding the condition of airports where they traveled recently in 2016. The choices were all from the Asian continent, which is a fair survey that was asked with random participants. Travelers were able to set their reasons about these airports as based on the facilities, services, sanitation, and safety issues experienced from these airports. The result will surely cause an alarm for authorities in these respective countries for tagging their airports as one of the least favorite gateways to their lands.<br />

Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the main gateway of the Philippines. It serves at least an annual average of 36 millions passengers annually, making it the busiest airports in the country. The previous name of the airport was Manila International Airport. The airport was renamed after the assassination of former Philippine Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., who was the father of former Philippine President Benigno Aquino III.<br />
<br />
As previously known as the Manila International Airport in 1970's it was one of the finest airports in the world due to its sophisticated technology with highly hospitable services by airport personnel during that time. But when the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. happened in 1983, the Philippines suffered a political turmoil that resulted in years of poor maintenance. In 2000, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport started to be recognized by numerous travel agencies as one of the worst airports in the world as well as in Asia.<br />
<br />
The Philippine government became concerned with the latest mentioning of their main gateways by several travelers, agencies, and organizations. This is due to the issues of obsolete facilities that affects the comfort of every passenger traveling in and out of Manila. Some passengers prefer to either depart or arrive in other airports in the Philippines, which has better facilities, services, and comfort than the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila. Provincial international airports across the country are regarded by travel agencies and organizations as better airports, which is listed as one of the best in Asia.<br />
<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Here are the 5 travel Facts why Ninoy Aquino International Airport is one of the worst in Asia</span></u></b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Bullet Planting scam: </b>This is referred in Tagalog as "tanim bala", which is an activity where corrupt airport personnel intentionally plants the bullets to the luggage or bags of passengers as a way to extort money. They collaborate with other corrupt personnel who will be apprehending them until they will give money. Bullet planting already traumatized their victims, delaying their flights, losing their jobs, and destroyed their self-esteem. This scheme made Ninoy Aquino International Airport famous worldwide, attracting international news agencies.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Problems with the air-conditioning system:</b> Passengers complaints about the ambiance inside the airport because the air-conditioned machines are faulty or not even working  at the airport. The Philippines is a tropical country located near the equator, which is why the country receives a direct sunlight, making the climate hot and humid. When air-conditioning stops, the airport becomes a hot place for every passenger to stay, making them uncomfortable while they are waiting their flights.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Transfer of terminals: </b>One main issue about the Ninoy Aquino International Airport is about their transfer of flights from one terminal to another. Each terminal is separated, requiring every passenger to take the road to reach the other terminal. The real problem when you are required to take your flight to another terminal is about the traffic menace. Metro Manila is also tagged to have one of the worst traffic in the world. So when you will be transferred to another terminal, expect that you will miss your flight. Better arrive 4 to 5 hours earlier if you are going to Ninoy Aquino International Airport.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Taxi scammers:</b> One of the worst reasons why Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the worst is their scamming taxi drivers. These are random taxi cabs that charge a whopping 2000% increase than the regular rate. For example, if you are going to ride a taxi from the NAIA airport to a bus station in Cubao, you will normally charge between 150 to 200 Philippine peso. Taxi scammers charge between 2,000 to 4,000 pesos, which is unacceptable and should be reported to the police immediately. So you better book for online taxi services such as Grab or Uber while you are inside the airport to prevent riding scamming cabs.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Faulty facilities: </b>Hanging ceilings, cracks in windows, and lack of running water in the comfort rooms are just some random service complaints that travelers comments about the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. When it rains hard, there are places where ceilings start to drip water coming directly from the rain. These are significant issues that could pose safety risks to the travelers. The airport was built many decades ago, which needs a complete renovation to replace all facilities with a high-end technology.<br />
<br />
Among the top 5 worst airports in Asia, the NAIA is obviously a part of the list. Other airports include the Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport in Nepal, Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan, Peshawar Bacha Khan International Airport in Pakistan, and Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan.<br />
<br />
But the good news is that there are several areas in the Philippines that has the best operating international airports. These are Kalibo International Airport in Aklan, Clark International Airport in Aklan, Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Cebu, Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao, Iloilo International Airport, and Subic Bay International Airport.<br />

These are colds, which is the most common and problematic because it transforms our nose like a faucet due to the continuous drain of mucus that is irritating our upper respiratory tract. Another is when our skin becomes irritable in both high or low temperatures, getting at-risk for allergens and wounds. Lack of vitamin C could risk our health and well-being to be exposed to dangerous diseases, which could hamper our plans for the day such as going to work or accomplishing our tasks at home. When we get sick, we always prefer to stay in bed because our body is weak enough to accomplish tasks that should have been scheduled for a certain period.<br />
<br />
People who are not careful with their health are also prone to developing cardiovascular diseases because the tissue perfusion of their blood vessels will slow the transportation of nutrients. Poor cellular perfusion by the muscle wall of the blood vessel could allow the formation of platelets and fatty deposits that could risk our cardiac system to develop a long-term illness. This is the reason why Vitamin C has been always recommended by our physician and health advocates so that the number of mortality and morbidity in our society will decrease.<br />

</tbody></table>
Kerwin Espinosa Jr. or also known as Roland Espinosa Jr. is the son of Albuerta town Mayor Rolan Espinosa Sr, which was earlier arrested by the authorities for being linked with illegal possession and distribution of narcotics. Kerwin's father was initially named by the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte from the list of narco-politicians in August.<br />
<br />
Philippine National Police Chief Ronald Dela Rosa made a press conference on October 17 at 2 in the morning. The police chief called the media to make an announcement about the latest progress in relation to the case of Kerwin Espinosa. Dela Rosa was relieved to be informed that one of the most wanted suspects for trafficking illegal narcotics has already been nabbed by the authorities in the Kingdom of United Arab Emirates in coordination with the International Police operatives of Interpol.<br />
<br />
Kerwin Espinosa Jr. has been linked by his father during his arrest while he was under the custody of Philippine National Police. Mayor Roland Espinosa was in hot seat after several politicians included his name to be one of the protectors of syndicates and traffickers in his town. While Mayor Espinosa is now in a detention facility, the Vice Mayor of the town is now temporarily taking over the town to continue public service. Albuerta, Leyte is now concerned about the future similar incidents that may happen to their neighboring towns across the Leyte Island.<br />
<br />
Mayor Espinosa Sr. was also in a hot seat after he was also monitored by the anti-corruption group who possesses luxurious properties that are worth more than his basic salary in a month. These include boats, luxury cars, and several real estate properties. Aside from possessing numerous questionable properties, police were able to seize one of their main residential areas. Espinosa family is also reportedly has a small private army who were believed to be protectors of their properties in Leyte, which were tipped off by the concerned citizens.<br />
<br />
Days after Mayor Espinosa's arrest, authorities were able to recover numerous high-powered armories that were used by their armies. Several men, believed to be the family's private army were fatally wounded by the police raid in Mayor Espinosa's home. Aside from fire-powered armories, police were also able to recover prohibited substances inside the Mayor's home. While authorities were able to raid the home as part of their search warrant operations, there were other luxurious items that were recovered from the scene, indicating the extravagant lifestyle of Espinosas.<br />
<br />
The Espinosa family is allegedly linked to several syndicates and dealers of illegal substance trafficking in the Western Visayas region. Mayor Espinosa is said to be the protector of the alleged syndicates, which is legally operating in the region without being noticed by the authorities. Through his leadership as the mayor of the town, he is allegedly obstructing justice by not reporting the trafficking incidents to the authorities until today.<br />
<br />
Kerwin Espinosa is regarded as the most notorious kingpin in the Western Visayas region. He is responsible for propagating illegal substances in the region, allowing traffickers to freely dispense their products to their patrons in the region. Kerwin's father is influential in the area, having been allegedly being bribed by the syndicates to continue their operations in the area for several years until his arrest under the Duterte administration.<br />
<br />
Kerwin is expected to return to the Philippines to face charges for the use and possession of illegal narcotics. Kerwin has numerous pending counts of criminal activities associated with the violation of RA 9165, which is referred to as Dangerous Narcotics Act.<br />
<br />
When found guilty, Kerwin will be convicted with several counts of life imprisonment, which will possibly bring him to the National Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City. He will be soon joining Jaybee Sebastian, which is a high-profile detainee at the New Bilibid Prison facility. Here are some facts about Jaybee Sebastian below<br />

Celebrity Actress Kris Aquino asks addicted actors if they still want to live

<br />
Kris Aquino made a previous statement with regards to the bashers of the Duterte administration. She wants to stop the hate and bashing of online netizens as well as other individuals who may not be satisfied with the present administration. Kris would like to tell haters to rather resort their hatred to a productive means, rather than issuing below-the-belt comments that are termed as hateful and insulting. This is because she knows how it feels to be shamed in public by random haters who just intend to shame anyone easily through the public.<br />
<br />
After a few days, the celebrity actress also made another statement with regards to other celebrities in the entertainment industry. Kris stated that if they still want to live or to perish if they continue being involved using or trafficking prohibited substances such as illegal narcotics. It is important for the celebrities to reconsider that there is still a light at the end of the dark road. If a person will not change their risky lifestyle, they could be at risk for being apprehended by the authorities that will destroy their lives forever. But the worst thing is that celebrities could be executed by unidentified assailants.<br />

</tbody></table>
Kris Aquino is very concerned about the fate of the celebrities who were currently using prohibited substances. She sympathizes other celebrities who were apprehended by the authorities, which is a sad news for former stars who used to be an inspiration to the public. This is the reason why she is now giving a warning for those who are still addicted to illegal substances to stop or else they will be publicly humiliated.<br />
<br />
As a concerned celebrity, Kris Aquino would like the entertainment industry to be a role model to the society. This is because they are public figures which the public are always watching and seeing in front of the camera as well as on the stage. For this aspect, being a celebrity is a thing that every person should have to consider when ensuring their private issues not to be involved with inappropriate behaviors. Using prohibited substances is considered a crime in the country, which apprehends anyone who will be caught violating this provision because it is under the Dangerous Narcotics Act under RA 9165.<br />
<br />
Testing yourself is an important step to ensure that the authorities will not have any reason to apprehend you. Negative test result indicates that you are not using prohibited narcotics, which is one of the main evidence that you can use to prevent yourself from under the watch list. This is especially when authorities may have mistaken you the wrong person that they have been looking to apprehend. In addition, having a clean living is a measure that will prevent you from being apprehended in the future such as being brought into the jail for several days, weeks, or even months.<br />
<br />
Kris Aquino's prior statement indicates that she is in full support for the government's campaign to crack down on users and pushers of illegal narcotics. This is because using these prohibited substances are responsible for causing a person to become aggressive. When a person becomes aggressive, they start to become violent, which is one of the most undesirable things that a person will do against other individuals, risking their life as well as their safety.<br />
<br />
She understands that a person is going to use illegal substance because it is one of the most efficient ways to get out from the reality. If people are suffering from problems, they usually resort to substance abuse because it has an aggressive stimulating effect to the brain. When people becomes sober, their brain becomes under the influence of a substance, allowing their mind to think of other things.<br />
<br />
Aquino also indicated that Robert Downey has had a turbulent past. He was also addicted to prohibited substances that made him almost lost everything. However, he accepted his own action and voluntarily went to rehabilitation facilities to gradually improve their psychological well-being as well as their lifestyle. Now that he is free from substance abuse, he went back to Hollywood and given big movie roles such as a cast as the Iron Man.<br />
<br />
For those who doesn't want to change, Kris is urging stubborn celebrities involved in substance abuse to seek for an intervention away from this country. This is because they are just endangering their lives due to their involvement in illegal practices. If you are already placed as one of the watch lists, your life is truly in danger. And those who wants to risk their life, they should continue it until they are either apprehended or executed.<br />
<br />
Recent weeks shows that there were celebrities who were already arrested by the members of the Philippine National Police. Former matinee idol Mark Anthony Fernandez, former DJ Karen Bordador, and former actresses Krista Miller and Sabrina M were just some of the celebrities who are now inside the incarceration facilities. After being arrested, some of these celebrities honestly admitted that they are involved using prohibited substances, and are now regretting their actions.<br />
<br />
The Philippine National Police is still intensifying its campaign to ensure that other unarrested suspects will be brought to the incarceration facilities. This is because there are still hundreds of thousands of individuals who are still aggressively distributing prohibited substances across the country.<br />
<br />
The question is not only towards other actors but also to the public. So do you also still want to live?<br />

Other major international beauty pageants that were established are Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International. These three pageants started earlier in the 1950's and 1960's decade, which is just one decade before Miss Intercontinental was established in 1970 and then set foot in Aruba before venturing to other countries around the continents.<br />
<br />
Miss Intercontinental is a German-based beauty pageant. The last edition of the pageant was held in Cologne, Germany. But this year's edition of the pageant was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Previous editions of the pageant were held to other parts of the world. The pageant was initially held in Aruba where it was hosted for at least 9 times before venturing other countries around 6 different continents. From a total of 50 delegates who are attending on a yearly basis, the pageant is expected to gain a higher number of delegates as the popularity of the pageant starts to soar.<br />

Prior to the coronation night, the ladies took the opportunity to explore the tropical environment of the island. The candidates were able to explore the beaches, parks, and other wildlife sanctuaries across the island nation. All the candidates and organizers will have memorable moments while they are in Sri Lanka to experience the vast environmental and cultural diversity that the country has to offer to the delegates.<br />
<br />
Aside from exploring the wonders of Sri Lanka, the delegates had the opportunity to learn more about the culture of Sri Lanka. Candidates were able to try Sri Lankan delicacies that are distinctive to the island nation. The customs and traditions were also observed by the delegates, which they've learned about the garments as well as textiles that the natives use as part of their daily lifestyle in the island.<br />
<br />
The new winner will be the new icon of the most coveted beauty pageant, having the chance to show her substance and starts to assume her responsibility as the new queen of Miss Intercontinental. However, if the winner fails to fulfill her duties and responsibilities, the 1st runner-up will soon take her position, which will continue the responsibilities that should have been vested to the former winner of the pageant.<br />
