Invest in Gold and Other Expensive Metals

invest gold and precious metals
Invest in Gold and Other Expensive Metals if you are an expatriate because they increased their value very fast. I have bought gold and other expensive metals like platinum in the form of jewelries. I have been working abroad for more than ten years and I witnessed the appreciation of gold. This metal increased its value that in 5 years it doubles its price. Most people are affected by this gold rush value especially here in Middle East that Gold is a necessity during wedding ceremony.

Gold Investment is very profitable and easy to do. This investment is a sure way to earn money. Platinum, copper and silver are also good for investment but gold is very popular so I would recommend you to buy gold. It is easy to sell because it is very popular and you can sell it to anyone especially if it is jewelry. This is the advantage of buying gold than other precious metals. There are many types of Gold too, the other popular and expensive one is white gold. I like white gold because they are not prone to snatchers thinking that it silver jewelry. If you are planning to buy gold and other precious metals, my advice is to find a safe vault or perhaps you need to rent a safety box from the private company or banks.

Invest in gold now and other precious metals like copper, silver and platinum and earn big money in a few years. If I bought lots of these metals before then I quadruple my money already. Just remember to find a safety box for your investment.

Overseas Filipino Votes can Determine the Winner of Tight VP Race

Even if the votes outside the Philippines are just 152,323 still this could affect the vice presidential race which is very close. Binay and Roxas are very close and it is very hard to determine the winner without counting all the votes the ABS-CBN said.

Here is the news courtesy from the ABS-CBN:

LONDON – Despite the low turnout, the Overseas Absentee Vote (OAV) could be a telling factor to determine the winner in the heated vice-presidential race between candidates Sen. Mar Roxas and Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) records show that there were about 152,323 absentee votes worldwide.

This represents only 26.7% out of more than 500,000 who registered for the month-long OAV period.

Based on the latest unofficial OAV count Thursday night, Liberal Party standard-bearer Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino enjoys a commanding lead with 39,811.

Running second to Aquino is Brother Eddie Villanueva of Bangon Pilipinas who has 11,002, and third is Sen. Manny Villar of Nacionalista Party with 9,852.

In the vice presidential race, Roxas is showing the way with 38,512, followed by Loren Legarda, 12,013 and running third only is Binay with 3,979.

For senators, on top is Frank Drilon with 41,036. He is followed by Miriam Defensor-Santiago, 40,233; Ralph Recto, 38,632; Bong Revilla, 38,330; Jinggoy Estrada, 34,178; Juan Ponce Enrile, 31,062; Ferdinand Marcos Jr., 30,982; Pia Cayetano, 30,187; Vicente Sotto III, 26,891; Sergio Osmena III, 24,927; and Teofisto Guingona III, 24,248.

Holding 12th spot is Joey De Venecia with 21,419.

The absentee vote in Europe did not even reach 20,000 out of almost 62,000 registered voters.

Both Aquino and Roxas are headed for a landslide win in practically all major cities in Europe.

They also enjoy a commanding lead in OAV-rich continents like Asia-Pacific and the Middle East and Africa.

Willie Revillame threatens to resign from "Wowowee"

Willie Revillame
I read this news just today but I think this happened two days ago. Yes Willie threatens to resign if Jobert Sucaldito will not be fired by ABS-CBN. Here is the full article about this news:

The usual party mood on the noontime show Wowowee suddenly turned serious when host Willie Revillame rebuked TV and print entertainment columnist Jobert Sucaldito for supposedly badmouthing him and Wowowee all these years. “Alam n’yo ho dito sa ABS-CBN dapat kami dito ay isang pamilya. Alam n’yo ho meron sa DZMM na 2:00 to 4:00 (program slot) sa pangalang Jobert Sucaldito na tinitira n’ya ho itong show. Dito ho kami nagtatrabaho sa ABS, sa management sinasabihan ko lang ho kayo ba’t n’yo pinapayagan tirahin ng taong ‘to ang Wowowee?”

The host explained that Jobert supposedly made a comment on air claiming that Wowowee gets “dumb” people as its audience. “Alam mo, Jobert, dapat nga hinahangaan mo ‘yung programang ito. Araw-araw mo akong tinitira sa dyaryo, tinitira mo ko sa DZMM. Alam mo ba magkano ang kinikita ng Wowowee? Nakakatulong kami sa mga special children na ito [na] guests namin. Tirahin mo ito, sige! Wala ka nang ginawa kundi ako ang tirahin. Ako na lang ang tirahin mo, Jobert huwag na itong show.”

Willie also also questioned why ABS-CBN management is supposedly tolerating Jobert for speaking out against the show. “Huwag mong samahan ng pulitika ito. Ito ay pagbibigay-lingkod, kahit na mga 74 percent o mga bagsak ige-guest namin dito, kahit basurero gine-guest namin dito.” The controversial host said that the columnist has no right to criticize the less-fortunate people who become part of show’s audience.

Willie went on to ask Jobert not to attack the show's audience, which sometimes include special children, or people who have serious ailments. “Nananawagan lang ho ako sa management ng ABS, huwag n'yo naman ho payagan tinitira ‘yung show natin. Ang laki ho ng kinikita ng Wowowee para sa ABS,” Willie implored.

Willie let out an even tougher statement when he said that if the management won’t fire Jobert, he would resign from Wowowee. “Tandaan n’yo ‘yan. Wala na kayong ginawa kundi ako tirahin dito. Mabigat na ‘to sobra na. Ilang taon na ako nananahimik, tinitira ako sa dyaryo niyang Jobert na ‘yan. Tahimik lang ho ako, ‘yung Jobert na ‘yan pero tandaan n’yo, ‘pag hindi n’yo ‘yan tinanggal, ako magre-resign dito. Para ho sa tao ito. Para sa mga taong espesyal, para sa mga 75 percent ang grades. Ipaglalaban ko ‘yung mga batang ‘yan. I’m sorry sobra na ito.”

He also challenged Jobert to meet the sick kids every day because it is not an easy task. “‘Yan ang ginagawa ko, tinutulungan ko ‘yung mga ‘yon para malaman mo. Sobra na. Huwag mong idadamay ang programang ito dahil ang programang ito ang may-ari ang mga Pilipino hindi sa ‘yo ‘to.”

Willie apologized to the audience for his outburst, but he explained that he just had to point out to Jobert that he should not attack him, being a fellow Kapamilya. “Kasama ko na sa istasyon, Kapamilyang itinuring kami, pero tinitira kami sa loob ng ABS-CBN.” Willie then stressed again his frustration with management for allowing Jobert to get away with his comments.

The controversial host clarified that he is not being boastful, but he is just being himself. “ABS (CBN) management, gawan n’yo ng paraan ‘yan. Alagaan n’yo ang mga talent n’yo dahil nagbubuhos kami dito ng pagod, lahat. Huwag n’yo kaming [sirain] sa sarili naming tahanan tinitira kami,” he complained. Here is a petition article about Willie Revillame when Cory Aquino's video was rudely insulted.

How to save money if you are an expatriate? - Health And Wealth

This is an article which I read last night and I would like to share it with you my fellow OFW or expatriates around the world. The title of the article is about How to save money if you are an expatriate? There are expatriates out there who forget to save money because they are thinking that having the present nice job is forever. Remember we are away from our families because we want to have a good salaries even we suffered the loneliness, abuses and discrimination in our foreign land which we work today. We accept all these humiliation in exchange for a better salary.

I am hoping that you my friends will someday be successful with your journey and become a model to all expatriates whom you know both financially and spiritually. Success begets success so start with small accomplishment in your life and start from there to become a very successful one.
