The New Philippine One Peso Coin!

Last year, we commemorated the 100 years death anniversary of our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. And inline with this, the Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas released the new one peso coin.

Here is the new Philippine one peso coin as proposed by BSP. Let's take a look on its front and back design below:

This new coin will be 24 mm in diameter and 5.35 grams in weight same as the current one peso coin we have in circulation. The newly minted coin featuring Dr. Jose Rizal portrait and marking of "150 years" 1861 - 2011 on its head, while the new BSP logo on its tail.

BSB dubbed this coin series as the "New Generation" coins. So expect for more new coins like the five peso and ten peso coins to come in the public sooner!

What can you say about this new Philippine one peso design?! Do you like it?! What other suggestions you can make?! c",)

Walgreens Plus Express Scripts Equals a Healthy Life!

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Everyone of us aims to have a better and a healthy life! A healthy body makes us achieve all our dreams and ambition! But what if we got an unexpected ill?! Then this becomes a burden not only in our human body but also more in the person's pocket!

Good thing, there is Walgreens and Express Scripts which help us in time of crisis and leading us to a healthy life!  Walgreens and Express Scripts join hands in helping customers in terms of health! These are the pharmacy teams who are guiding us in a better and healthier path! But how does the collaboration of these two started?! Well, allow me to discuss a quick glimpse about WAlgreen and Express Scripts!

For the past year, Walgreens has negotiated with Express Scripts for a new contract to continue as part of its pharmacy provider network. Those negotiations were unsuccessful, and the contract expired on Dec. 31. As a result, Walgreens is no longer part of Express Scripts’ pharmacy provider network as of Jan. 1, 2012. This includes all Walgreens pharmacies nationwide and Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area.

This situation of forcing pharmacy patients to go elsewhere to use their in-network pharmacy benefits was unnecessary. Express Scripts’ actions are causing disruption with no significant benefit to patients or their health plan. Patients covered by an Express Scripts plan now find themselves not only having to change their pharmacists, but many are having to drive farther to get prescriptions filled at pharmacies with less convenient hours for their hectic schedules. Walgreens offers more 24-hour and drive-thru pharmacies than any other pharmacy in the country.

And patients are not seeing their costs go down in exchange for the increased hassle they’re being subject to. It’s all pain with no gain.

During negotiations, Walgreens offered to hold rates for a new contract flat and did not seek an increase in rates. The response from Express Scripts was to insist on being able to unilaterally define contract terms, such as what does and does not constitute a brand and generic drug. Express Scripts also proposed to slash Walgreens reimbursement rates to levels below the industry average cost to provide each prescription.

Express Scripts itself has stated that clients will not see any significant savings from excluding Walgreens from its network. In fact, costs may even go up without Walgreens because we offer competitive pricing, additional savings by dispensing less expensive generic drugs more often than other pharmacies, and savings through 90-day supplies of medications at our retail pharmacies versus three, 30-day refills.

Express Scripts could offer substantial savings to its clients by promoting 90-day refills at retail pharmacies, but it conflicts with its own mail order 90-day prescription business that it profits from. In addition, while profits per prescription among retail pharmacies have been flat or declining in recent years, Express Scripts’ profits have grown at a rate more than two times the average of peers in health care.

 

One of Express Scripts’ clients is Tricare, which is the health and prescription drug program for America’s military service men and women. During negotiations, Walgreens took the unprecedented step of offering Express Scripts an ironclad guarantee that Walgreens prices would match or beat the average costs per adjusted prescription of all other pharmacies in the Tricare network.  Walgreens did this in an effort to prevent our country’s military personnel from being caught in the middle. Walgreens also offered to contract separately with Express Scripts for Tricare from other Express Scripts commercial business, but these offers were rejected. Express Scripts continues to refuse to negotiate a separate contract for the benefit of the Tricare program and its beneficiaries.

In terms of the Walgreens patient, many patients under an Express Scripts plan have used Walgreens pharmacies for years and have a personal relationship with their Walgreens pharmacist. In an effort to minimize their disruption and inconvenience, Walgreens unveiled a comprehensive national effort to make this transition as smooth as possible and is doing all it can to help patients continue to use Walgreens when possible, or take care of them as they are forced to leave Walgreens in order to use their in-network coverage.

Only patients with certain prescription insurance plans managed by Express Scripts are impacted. It is best to check with your local Walgreens pharmacist to find out for sure if you’re impacted. Patients also can check the back of their prescription insurance card – if it has Express Scripts’ name there, then they may be affected. If it doesn’t say Express Scripts, then they are not affected.

Among the steps Walgreen is taking to minimize the disruption is offering a special discount on annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club. An individual can join during a special January promotion for only $5, or $10 for a family membership, and receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. More than 400 generics are available with a three-month supply for less than $1 a week. Regular annual membership is $20 for an individual and $35 for a family.

Express Scripts acts as a middleman between pharmacies providing the health care service and employers and health plans who pay for the medications. Because Express Scripts is the middleman, most payers don’t see the rates Express Scripts pays to Walgreens. They only know what they pay Express Scripts. When they do see what Walgreens is paid, many health plans and employers are making decisions to continue to ensure access to Walgreens because they find our prices to be competitive and believe that we can lower overall health care costs.

Express Scripts continues to gain financially from its position as a middleman as its profits have grown at a rate more than two times the average of peers in health care. Historically brokers in a marketplace take a percentage of the cost of a product for putting the buyer and seller in contact.  In Express Scripts’ case, the broker is growing profits faster than the provider of the service.  When the middleman is more profitable than the providers, the relationship is out of balance.

Beyond the contract issues, this issue between Express Scripts and Walgreens is really about the value of your local community pharmacy. Express Scripts wants customers to use their own mail order pharmacy business instead of your community pharmacy whenever possible. This could threaten all community drugstores in your area. Remember, community pharmacies are a valuable presence in your neighborhood when you need a pain medication as you leave the emergency room at 2 a.m., or need a flu shot and haven’t been able to get to the doctor’s office. Community pharmacies are often the first point of entry for many people into the health care system, and the value they provide by lowering overall health care costs should be recognized by Express Scripts.

A Walgreens proprietary survey of 823 executives and managers who are key decision makers for pharmacy benefit decisions or provide input found that 82 percent of employers said that they would not exclude Walgreens for less than 5 percent savings on their total pharmacy spend. Sixty percent of employers would not exclude Walgreens for less than 10 percent savings, and 21 percent would not exclude Walgreens from their network regardless of the amount of savings. These findings on employer attitudes are consistent with recent research published by several leading equity research analysts.

Employers value having Walgreens as a pharmacy option for their employees, but Express Scripts wants to take that choice away.

Walgreens really wants to help! The Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens is offering a special discount on annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club. And this really helps the customer a lot more!

There are times that customers were upset about not being able to use Walgreens. In this case, just contact your local media and voice your dissatisfaction! Walgreens will take actions immediately!

And of course, let's keep in touch with Walgreens! Let's support them by just liking Walgreens on Facebook and following Walgreens on Twitter via @Walgreens. Helping one another really makes a healthy life! Great! c",) 

The Feast of the Black Nazarene!

This is the actual scenario taking place every 9TH day of January in Quiapo Church, Manila:

The place seems like a sea of million people!

Every year, million devotees gather around the church of Quiapo for the annual feast and procession of the Black Nazarene. They believe that this black statue of Jesus Christ is miraculous. It can heal all their illness and can grant all their wishes!

As part of their sacrifice, the devotees walk from their home to the Quiapo church bare-footed! They doesn't matter if million people were there in the crowd! Even they get hurt, they still continue their patronage!

This is one of the well-known Filipino traditions! See how strong the faith of the Filipinos to our Almighty God!

Images were credit to the respective owners! Thank you! c",)

The History of the Black Nazarene!

Today is January 9. And this day is another special event in the Filipino culture. We are once more celebrating the Feast of the Black Nazarene. And right now, million people and devotees are there in the Quaipo Church in Manila!

But did you actually know how the Black Nazarene started?! Why do million people gather in its church every year?! What is the story behind this said miraculous black statue of Jesus?!

As part of my tribute to the Feast of the Black Nazarene, allow me to share the story behind this holy image.

Wikipedia defines the Black Nazarene as a life-sized, dark-coloured, wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ, believed to be miraculous by many Filipino devotees. It was known in three culture - in Spanish as "Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno"; in English as "Our Father Jesus Nazarene"; and in Filipino as "Mahal na Itim na Nazareno."

Originally, the statue is said to have a fair or light complexion. It turned dark after it was exposed to fire on its arrival from Mexico!

According to the story, the statue's original carver is an anonymous Mexican carpenter, and the image arrived in the Islands via galleon from Acapulco, Mexico. Folk tradition attributes the colour of the Black Nazarene to a fire on the ship carrying it, charring the image from its original fair tone into its present dark complexion.

There were two identical images of Black Nazarene brought into Manila. The first and most famous one was kept at the Church of Saint Nicholas de Tolentino in Bagumbayan and later transferred to Intramuros when the old edifice was demolished. This Black Nazarene was part of the celebrated Palm Sunday Procession in the old walled city where the statue perished during the Battle of Manila in February 1945. The other statue was given by the Recollect Priests to the Church of Quiapo. It has been often mistaken that this is identical to the lost image of the Intramuros.

Every 9TH day January, Devotees flock to the Basilica for the annual Feast of the Black Nazarene. The procession takes several hours to navigate the narrow streets of Quiapo. On ordinary times of the year, Friday is known as Quiapo Day.

To protect the centuries old image from effects of processions, the priests of Quiapo decided to commission a replica of the Black Nazarene. As a result, the Head and the Hands were placed on the new body while the old torso holds a new head. Both images are brought out for processions albeit alternating every other year.

The statue is currently enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines. Details were courtesy of Wikipedia!

Now we all know how this miraculaous black statue of Jesus Christ started and why it was called as such! c",)

'Budoy' Fever!

"Budoy," the Primetime TV series of Gerald Anderson now becomes a huge hit. Aside from being a consistent top-rater in the TV rating race, "Budoy" also becomes a trending topic in the world wide web.

Aside from these, the comedian Jose Manalo also impersonates "Budoy" in one of the segment in "Eat Bulaga."

Here is the said face-off of Jose Manalo and Gerald Anderson wherein they both portrayed the character of Budoy:

Aside from impersonation, "Budoy" was even became a famous joke. Check out this "Budoy" joke featuring Baby James:

Ako Budoy! (Baby James)

Baby James : Yaya, am i normal ?

Yaya : Of course! You're not like them. Why did you ask?!

Baby James : i'm so confused.
... my grandfather is Ninoy,
... my uncle is Noynoy,
... my brother is Abnoy,
... my dad is chikboy,
... my mom,, iba-iba ang boy,
... my ninong is tito boy,but he's not a boy!
... di kaya .. Ako Budoy ?!

Hahaha! Nice one Baby James! And good job "Budoy" for making everybody crazy 'bout you! c",)

Two Great Things I Got This Year!

Last 2010, the great gadget I bought for myself was a Toshiba laptop plus its other equipments like the wireless router. Not to mention the other appliances I bought for our home.

This year, two new gadgets mark my Christmas! This 2011, I bought two great things. These are the digital camera (digicam) and a Samsung Galaxy Y android phone!

Yup, I bought two of the most expensive gadgets this year! And they were both from Samsung brand!

Yes I'm a camera or a picture addict. So to satisfy my need for a picture, I bought a Samsung PL120 dual LCD or dual lens camera! It's back to back in a way that it has a back and front lens where you can take picture of yourself! I'll discuss it more on my next succeeding posts!

If I have a new digital camera, my brother on the other hand has his android phone! Yes, I bought him a Samsung Galaxy Y cellphone! This is the gift he requested from me! I will also discuss it more on a separate post!

A hi-tech hi-pixel digital camera and an android wi-fi Galaxy phone are two of the most expensive things I bought for this year! Thank you Lord for letting me have these! c",)

Gifts, Gifts, Gifts, I Received!

Before we bid goodbye to the year 2011, let me share with you some of the gifts I received during the yuletide season from my new officemates. Here they are:

They keep on coming...!!! Almost everyday, new gifts were there on my workstation! Nice!

I wouldn't mention each of these exciting gifts! I would only mention to all of them..."Thank You Very Much!"

Happy New Year Everyone!!! c",)

The Unexpected Twists in 'Segunda Mano!'

I could say that "Segunda Mano" is one of the best movies I have watched this year! Though it was not a pure horror everyone is thinking of, the story brings us more unexpected twists!

Last night, I watched the said movie with my GF in SM Mall of Asia! Originally, we were planning to watch "Shake, Rattle, and Roll 13." We came in the mall at around 7pm. But the next movie hour for SSR13 was at 11:30pm. So we decided to watch our second choice - "Segunda Mano!" The next movie hour of this horror flick from Star Cinema was at 9pm.

While waiting for the hour of showing, we roamed around the mall and spent sweet night together!

At around 8pm, we decided to go up the movie house. It was shocking to see that many people were falling inline for the said movie. As we have seen, "Segunda Mano" has the most number of viewers next to "Enteng Ng Ina Mo!"

People were very excited to watch this fourth horror movie of Ms. Kris Aquino. As the light was turned off in the theater, people were shouting!

In the beginning of the movie, you may say that it's an ordinary horror film with a very predictable plot! The owner of the red bag was revealed upon the start of the story! You will eventually know who is the ghost in the story who keeps on haunting the character of Kris Aquino as Mabel!

But as the story progresses, in the middle and in the last part of the movie, you will appreciate its essence! You will witness more twists and revelations you wouldn't expect! The purpose of the ghost haunting Mabel, the real killer in the story, the reason behind the lost of Mabel's little sister Marie, and the relationship of the characters of Kris Aquino as Mabel and Angelica Panganiban as Mariella were some of the twists in the film that surprised the audience!

In the movie, I can say that Ms. Kris Aquino is not only the Philippine's Horror Queen. She revives her previous title being the "Massacre Queen!" Yup, you will witness a masscre scene in this movie which once brightened the career of Ms. Kris way back in 90's (Remember "The Elsa Castillo Story?")!

There is also a touch of comedy in this movie! I love the cats which serve as 'pandayang pang-gulat', the character of Mosang which gives humor to the story, and of course the character of Ms. Bangs Garcia who is a 'kikay' bestfriend-sidekick of Kris! I bet Bangs for the Best Supporting Actress Award for this movie!

I would recommend you guys to watch this movie. In the end, you will find out that it's worthy! "Sulit na sulit ang pera mo at ang pag-uwi ko ng gabi kagabi!" Hehehe...I came home last night at around 12:45am! c",)

Meet and Greet Ogie Diaz!

I was so thankful that I got invited to the movie presscon of the comediane Pokwang in her launching movie "A Mother's Story." Aside from the buffet dinner for all the guests, I got a chance to talk with many of the stars and celebritites!

One of the celebrities I mingled with during that night was Mr. Ogie Diaz! He joined me in the table. We talked, shared ideas, and of course we took picture!

He shared me his latest projects as well as his upcoming TV series "Walang Hanggan." What more, he gave me free ticket to the advance screening of his Indie Film "Dyagwar"

Like we always know, Kuya Ogie is cool, funny, and jolly! I even shared my insights to his personal blog. I love his article post during the Father's Day called "Akin 'To, Pag-aari ko 'To!"

Great one Kuya Ogie! See you soon in the next upcoming events!

Pictures with the Two Child Stars!

I was with the two Kapamilya child wonders Aaron and Xyriel Ann Manabat during the presscon of Pokwang's launching movie, "A Mother's Story."

Here are some of our cute pictures together:

With Aaron

With Xyriel Ann Manabat

These two kids play the children of Pokwang in the movie. Aaron portrays the child Rayver Cruz!

Both of them were really 'bibbo' special Xyriel! "Grabe ang daldal ni Madam Anna Manalastas!" And she answered the questions intellectually!

It feels like a child again with these two child wonders! They were really jolly to be with!

Want to see more stars and celebrities?! Well, catch out my next posts 'cause I'll share with you more! This is only the start, more stars to come! Great! c",)

Brownies, Brownies, Brownies for the Christmas!

I still receiving so many gifts...!!! My workstation is currently filled with different gifts from my friends, teammates, and fans (hehehe)! The gifts range from souvenir items to sweet cakes or desserts!

One of these gifts is a sweet brownies. It was given to me by my two managers. I love its sweetness, so perfect for my desserts!

Right now I'm still receiving different gifts! As the Christmas day is fast approaching, I expect more gifts to receive! For this day, I got two cute cupcakes and a special gift wrapped in stylish gift wrapper from my three kind teammates! So sad that I wasn't able to bring my digital camera to take shots of these gifts!

On my next post, I'll share with you my other gifts! Merry Christmas everyone! c",)

Si Pokwang @ Ako!

Look at the two of us! Yeah many say, we really look like a mother and son! Wow, I'm so flattered to be a son of the country's one of the great comedianne, Pokwang!

Pokwang or Ate Pokie as I called her already had her launching movie. And this is called "A Mother's Story!" I was so glad that I was invited in her presscon which took place in ABS-CBN's prestige Dolphy Theater!

In her movie launched, I met her other co-stars. I even collaborated with the other entertainment press people! I trully enjoyed that night (kahit na-late ako ng konti). I got a chance to talk with Ate Pokie as well as with Ogie Diaz, Aaron, Xyriel Ann Manabat, and Rayver Cruz! What more, I love the buffet! "Grabe ang sarap ng mga pagkain! Sosyalin!"

"Ang bait ni Pokwang!" She is too approachable and full of humor! I was touched when she told us her real life story narrating about her children and former husband! She cried infront of the people! I was even listened attentively to her story with teary eyes!

In my next posts, I will share with you some of our other photos. I will even post her presscon in my Cinemania movie blog!

Keep it up Ate Pokie! We really salute and admire you! Hopefully we can have our movie together! "Ako naman ang magiging anak mo" in that new movie! Preferably "A Mother's Story" Part 2! What do you think?! c",)

A Koreanovela Heartthrob!

This is my glamorous attire in our recently concluded Christmas party here in my new company! A very elegant look where everyone got amazed of!

They say I really look like a Korean heartthrob superstar! Some thought that I was a K-Pop rocker! My suit perfectly fits our theme! And all voted for me as the "Star of the Night!"

Actually I was really shinning that night! My hair was in Korean style. It was held hard by a wax and a spraynet with glitters! Yup, I was really shinning that night from hair to shoe! A shinning, shimmering, spledid Rocky!

I even asked one of my teammates to put an eyeliner to my eyes! "Kahit may kasakitan kase hindi ako sanay, tiniis ko" just for the sake of this once in a lifetime event! My very first Christmas party here in my new second home! =) And thanks God, "nagbunga din ang pinaghirapan kahit papano!""

And you wonder why I'm infront of the microphone up on the stage?! Yes, we performed! Each team will have their own team presentation. And we performed it live! And the result...the result is...we grabbed the first prize, a Php10,000 in cash! Great!

We're so happy that very night. Even though I failed to get the Samsung LCD 32" TV major prize, I'm still happy that we went home not empty handed! Our team got majority of the awards and giveaways from Male Best Dressed to minor prizes got by each of our teammates up to the Best Team Presentation! By the way, the two grand prizes were grabbed by our manager and by one of my teammates! Cool! c",)
