Another Guinness World Record For Paeng Nepomuceno

Filipino bowler Paeng Nepomuceno received his 3rd certificate from Guiness Book of World Records for having won the most number of bowling tournaments worldwide. His first is Guinness Record Hall of Fame for winning four World Cups in three different decades (70’s, 80’s and 90’s). His second Guinness distinction was in recognition of his feat as the youngest to win a world title at age 19. Information taken here.

It was in the news tonight, multi awarded Paeng Nepomuceno was suprised upon receiving the certificate. My youngest son and I just had finished studying Sibika (Social Studies) about the world class Filipino personalities such as Manny Pacquiao, Lisa Macuja, Lea Salonga, Cecil Licad etc. I was explaining to my son their success on their respective fields. I did told him about Paeng Nepomuceno but I didn’t know that he is Guiness Book of Records awardee, not once but thrice. Wow! I’m really proud to be a Pinoy.

Romulo Neri As SSS President

Please watch the video provided by GMA7 regarding appointment of Commission on Higher Education Chairman Romulo Neri as the new SSS President. The ZTE-NBN controversy is not yet finish and yet he still receives appointment from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Is it a reward or privilege for his loyalty to PGMA?

On the contrary, I watched in the news that SSS President Corazon dela Paz came back from a conference in Malaysia where she heard that Romulo Neri will be taking her position as the Social Security System President. She resigned effective end of this month for her worsening spine condition, she has scoliosis.

I’m sure CHED Secretary Romulo Neri is capable of running SSS. But the ZTE-NBN controversy is still on-going and I agree with Senator Madrigal that he should not be appointed to any position in the government because of credibility.

On the other hand, I found these youtube videos.

Nutrition In Nutrition Month 2008

The month of July is celebrated as the Nutrition month in the Philippines. I don’t know how other schools are celebrating the event but in my youngest son’s school, they encourage students to eat healthy and nutritious food.

My son’s science lesson this week is about nutrients that our body needs. Their adviser also encouraging the class to bring nutritious packed lunch, vegetables if possible and no junk foods. Actually, they don’t sell junk foods in school canteen although I don’t buy chips for recess. Anyway, I don’t have problem with my kids eating habits, they eat vegetables. My son’s assignment tomorrow is to have vegetable for their lunch. I was thinking of cooking burger steak with corn and carrots but my son asked for his favorite, stir fried baguio beans. Sometimes, parents learned something from their children. I was thinking of a “show-off” meal but here he is asking for a simple meal.

Then I went to palengke (market) to buy ingredients. And I saw the very long line of people waiting for their turn to buy NFA rice. I thought, there’s no rice shortage already? NFA rice now costs php18.25 per kilo. How come fancy rice price becomes even higher. We used to buy sinandomeng last month for php32 per kilo, now its php38-42 per kilo. I don’t know what rice we are cooking now, it is 34 per kilo. With the high price of rice, gasoline, electricity, water… together with unemployment, no salary increase… What will happen now to nutrition of our fellow Filipinos?
