“Jesus was a carpenter, and a builder. Through Habitat, we have been privileged to become builders, too, not only of houses, but of families, lives and hope.” – Former US President Jimmy Carter  

Habitat for Humanity Philippines is a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry that works both to eliminate poverty housing and to make adequate housing a matter of conscience and action. 

Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller and his wife Linda. Its headquarters is located in Americus, Georgia, USA. Today, it has a presence in nearly 100 countries and territories, and has built more than 175,000 houses, providing nearly 900,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter.

In the Philippines, the first local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International were established in 1988. Today, Habitat for Humanity Philippines has built more than 15,000 houses in more than 100 communities, and has a presence in 20 provinces and 29 cities with 25 affiliates and 21 satellites.

SCTEx

By | Great Achievements, Travel | No Comments

The new SCTex Highway opened last April 28 and we were able to try it out over the weekend. Since the family likes going to Subic, this will definitely be a regular route again. Save around 30 to 40 minutes from your regular Subic trip since you do not have to pass the small towns from San Fernando to Subic. one thing we do also to reduce the time to Subic is to leave very early in the morning – before 6 am or late evening to avoid the EDSA traffic. The longest part is always the Makati to Balintawak section so try to avoid that traffic and you will get to Subic in 2 hours from Makati.

It looks like Subic businesses will start picking up again with this new development. The highway is a beautiful scenic drive. It is like the highways in the States. For now it is all scenery and greens, hopefully it will stay that way and no commercial establishments sprouting up.

The P27.2-B  93.77 km expressway is a flagship project of President Arroyo and is among the mega-projects intended to transform Central and Northern Luzon into a super region. It is expected to serve as the new economic backbone for Central Luzon and the adjoining regions that is seen to create wider opportunities for investment, trade and employment.

Cheeseballs Update!

By | Cheese | One Comment

 The Fisher brand is the best so far for Heart2Heart.  And now it also comes in PIZZA flavor and it is so yummy!!!

 Planter’s Cheeseballs is back!!

Thanks to my cousin Ana and my sister Maricar for sending me the resurrected version of Planter’s Cheeseballs!  

I thought they stopped making them- apparently not but under a different name but similar packaging.  

The taste is not as good as the original one though.  There are so many brands trying to copy the packaging of Planter’s.  planterscb.jpg
