Pauleen Luna’s mom confirms Vic Sotto was (?) after her daughter
It seems my recent write-up on the blooming Vic Sotto-Pauleen Luna romance, as revealed by Ricky Lo in his Philippine Star column, elicited a lot of comments from our readers who are either for or against the relationship.

No visa? No problem, no cry!
As a follow-up to my post on countries where Filipinos can travel freely, it just occurred to me that countries in the list are worth exploring. True that most of them are not as accessible to Filipinos since they're not open to budget fares but they do host some of the most beautiful sights around.

For a minimal amount, Filipinos can have a visa issued upon arrival and just be in time to view the Masai Mara (the Great Animal Migration) from July to September. This ... Continue Reading...
