Bo's event - still learned alot even if it's the 2nd time around!
Bo's Coffee - Share the passion
This ain't my first time in their events and I must say that I am now a fan of Bo's coffee and I'm willing to go to Cebu to visit their first branch!
I talked with Sir Steve, president of Bo's coffee and he was also generous enough to give time to show the coffee roasting process live and share his passion in coffee to me. I also learned a lot of things about the store from where they got the furnitures and fixtures to how expensive they were :)
If you plan to franchise Bo's coffee, just leave a message and I will relay the message to Sir Steve.
Winston, on the other hand is a franchisee and owns the katipunan branch. An achiever and an entreprenuer, we talked about business and plans.
Going back, it was also the first time that I tried their Mocha Cappuccino drink. Believe me, you are missing a lot if you haven't tried that yet! I didn't join the drink making session as I had already joined such activity a few weeks back.
Same mechanics for the drink making contest and same exposure - one month for the winning drink and a week for the rest.
It was a cozy event because of the store ambience and the weather outside. Bo's Bonifacio High street, just like any other Bo's branches is a nice place to stay and talk.
Thanks to Yehey and Bo's for this wonderful event! I honestly enjoyed it and this was a great way to release the stress and pressures from a weeks work!

Lenient laws in the Philippines should be blamed
I was out of the country the past few days and immediately noticed something and I know that most of the Filipinos abroad also noticed this.
Filipinos living in another country other than the Philippines are more disciplined. So, how come when people live here in the Philippines, they become law violators? The law should be blamed because to tell you the truth, our penalties are just nothing to most of the people.
When smoking in a no smoking area in Hong Kong, you can be penalized for 5,000 Hong Kong Dollars. That is equivalent to around 30,000 pesos. Do we have that?
When crossing the street there, people are cautious because they know that when they will be bumped by a vehicle, they themselves are the ones to be blamed. Unlike here in the Philippines, the driver is to be blamed. What if it was really the person crossing the streets' fault?
Lastly, as i've said in one of my previous blogs, laws here are good for 1 - 2 months (or lesser). Look at the commemorative plate law. A lot of people are using commemorative plates again!
This is the main reason why we don't improve. We need to vote a president in 2010 who can be FIRM enough to eradicate red tape and implement stricter rules.

Wage Hike. Again!?
What is happening to the Philippines?
Before I continue on with my post, let me just make some things clear. I am not an Arroyo supporter nor an anti-Arroyo supporter.
Have you ever noticed that the ZTE issue is slowly disappearing now? This is her tactic. Guess what? It works! There is no rice shortage in the Philippines. No egg shortage. No whatever shortage. Those are all made up to cover hot issues that could lead to her falling down.
We are one of the top, if not the top, rice producers in the world. how the hell did that rice shortage happen? Have you seen one of those lines leading to those NFA rice stores? Looong man.. looong! Not only that, those line combined with the scorching heat of summer and empty stomach of the poor makes it worst! Riots occur!
Gloria, have you honestly, ever, wholeheartedly, helped the Filipino people without thinking about yourself? Can you?
Businesses are also affected here because of your ZTE scandal cover up tactics. I guess, you don't care because you guys are too filthy rich to notice that one kilo of rice is almost 30 pesos and now, employees are asking for wage increase!
Businesses will close, Philippine economy will be down.
There are two things in this strategy.
1. You are thinking only about yourself. Covering up the issue to save yourself.
2. You want the Philippines to be the worst country in the world.
I am not asking you to step down Ms. President because I don't think there is someone right now who have the power to improve the situation of the country. Just hear this, Do what would Jesus do and not otherwise.

Arroyo declares stepdown year
MANILA, Philippines -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has declared anew that she would stay in office until her term ends in 2010 and that until this time, she would continue to institute reforms so that she would leave the country strong for the next leader.
Arroyo made this declaration Tuesday before the signing into law of the Civil Aviation Authority Act of the Philippines of 2008, which seeks to upgrade airports nationwide, and over calls for her to step down over allegations of corruption in the signing of the national broadband network contract with China’s ZTE Corp.
“I will be true to the Constitution and to myself who has been mandated to leave the post when my term ends in 2010. Until this day, we will continue to push for reforms so that we can leave a strong nation for the next leader,” Arroyo said in Filipino.
Familiar?
They were classmates sometime. Now, they are both Presidents of a country. Finally, they are both being asked to step down.
