Traditional politicians, lawyers, rich jerk dynasties, actors and actresses, officers of the police and armed forces dominate the political scene. These people comprises the bulk of the political arena that makes the face of the Philippines a laughing stock. To give credit to those whom really performs well, the population knows who’s who. Some are really hard working and true to their intentions to help the country to recover from the endless corrupt system and the path of economic recovery.

What the country needs are fresh vizionalized people that are capable of providing Grade A legislations regardless of party politics. We need people that can stand up and express their views openly without whispers in the ear from corrupt businessmen. We need people who genuinely don’t need the prosperity of the pockets. It may be difficult to find persons like this these days but it is definitely worth the shot. It might be like finding some needles in the haystack but we have to do it. Other countries are moving on and moving on fast and its high time to get even to the rear of the bus seat. Disciplined people are what we need. The congress, senate, government has more than enough high educated entree’s and they are fully camouflaged painted that can eat you in whole once the moon has surfaced in the sky.

Who are the people we need to turn the stakes around for the better ? There are some students, overseas contract workers, housewives, teachers, nurses, local civic leaders. These are in short the common people who’s daily lives are experiencing hardships or making ends meet. We need to hear from them and not from the people who drive SUV’s or expensive cars that have a tinted window shield. Let their voices be heard and jot down their ideas.

Ever visited your basement’s lately ? How are those fitness machines doing in the basement ? Are they getting rusty or being used regularly ? Many of us or on households throughout the globe have some fitness machines. They maybe a gift from friends or family or bought by ourselves for the purpose of having a healthy and flexible muscle. Some do use it regularly, some occasionally and some when they have the time or when they just thought of it in that instant moment. These are good and healthy recreations in life. Whether they are tread mills, bowplex, abs cruncher or any of those machines in the market today, it makes our muscles work, healthy and be flexible. But what about our faith ? Do we practice it regularly, occasionally or just when we have the time only. If our muscles and health needs physical fitness workout so should our spiritual faith too. Having the time to practice the spiritual needs of our soul is also needed to enhance it, be healthy and make it function or make it as much muscular as it can be . It takes us more closer to God and keep our faith perfectly healthy and spiritually fit. It brings out a good comparison of a healthy body to a healthy spiritual life here on Earth. It does not matter if what church you belong as long as you practice your faith and exercise it more frequently and doing what is best. It is by far the most needed physical fitness that one can have. Some if not most, people have time for recreation, entertainment, or body fitness workouts in life and I guess we should try to do this to ourselves too on our personal spiritual level. We can enhance and flex our faith by visiting our church regularly to get that fitness our spiritual lives needs. Make time as much as possible. Go to your nearest local church or Faith Fitness Center and get that spiritual faith workout needed. Don’t let that get rusty or throw it away just like the machines in your basement. Joining activities at local churches is one of the best Fitness program you can have. It’s FREE and it brings you closer to the Almighty.

The big issue in the US Senate about illegal immigration in the United States have so far produced nothing in results. While most of these bills are pending or scrapped, the wave influx at the US Mexican border still continues to grow daily with hundreds or even thousands of people from South America trying to get a shot for the opportunity to live and work in the United States. Could we blame these people ? I guess so. But who can stop people from going to the Land of Opportunity when the system of its immigration policy is broken and its borders are open. Its an open invitation plain and simple. Unless the US Government reforms its present system and provides strategic plan of strengthening its borders there will be no stop for this exodus.

The Amnesty

There are about 12 million undocumented aliens inside the US and the government is not doing anything about this. The Democrat Senators have been proposing bills to find a solution to the existing problems while the Republican Senators have been killing it again and again. I have to agree that these undocumented people that are already here should be legalized. There can be regulations to regulate their legalization and I can’t see a reason why it can’t be implemented. There are a lot of good proposals from the democratic side but the republicans, especially Mr. Jeff Sessions, is so actively against. Try working at one of the Mcdonalds chain for a month or better at any construction company or landscaping firm and work with them. Find it out for yourself. In some places take the illegal aliens off from work and you’ll see a dead economy in just 1 month.

The Taxes

These illegal aliens work and get their pay checks on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Let us say Juan is working in a fast food chain as a dish washer earning $7.50/hour on an 8 hour shift coming to work daily as given on his schedule. He gets paid on a bi-weekly basis. Let us see his payroll and its deduction. (Note: This is not an accurate payroll it is just meant to show details)

Juans Payroll

Per Hour Rate - $7.50

Hours Worked - 80

Gross Amount - $600

Federal Tax Deduction - $108

State Deduction - $56

Medicare - $9.76

Social Security - $87

Net Income After Deductions - $339.24

Ask yourself where does this taxes go since Juan is an undocumented illegal alien and cannot file a year end Income Tax Return ? Does the IRS Federal, State Taxes and Social Security accounting can’t suddenly use a calculator that an overflow of lets say out of the 12 million illegal aliens, the workforce is 8 million heads multiplied by the figure shown above. Geez !!! Where does that money go.

I guess its time to resolve this immigration issue once and for all. The democrats are continuously finding ways to make an implementation. We hope the US House of Senate could get their butts together and make this working as well as the US Congress. Both Democrats and Republicans should stop party politics for a while and look at some avenues to make this bill working. It will be beneficial for the US economy as a whole.

Last week we were looking around our community and saw quite a number of houses for sale. Most of our neighbors have either relocated to another state with some of them went as far as going overseas. Land prices has really declined making it hard to sell your house on your terms right now. We have talked to many of the homeowners and most are dis satisfied with their piece of investment. It seems that they bought it and the price depreciated a lot. So we went ahead and see whats going on and viewed some of the properties for sale and we were surprised that they are selling it for less than the amount of what they purchased making it a total loss. I understand that there are many expenses incurred but it seems that one must be ready before jumping to a purchase since no one knows exactly how every business goes up and down from time to time. It is the same concept though that each must be ready for that rainy season ahead. Anticipation alone is not the brightest of the brightest idea. A very well executed plan at the same time some financial savings could be the best especially during these time of land depreciation you can hold on till the prices gets to a more favorable one.

A look around the neighborhood most of the eye catching property that sold quickly are the mobile homes. Especially fitted for small families and low budget, these are the most bought properties right now since savings is imminent. We looked for a couple mobile homes and we were impressed on their value and at the same time the interiors and land location. The community tenants are so friendly and amenities are of quality. I think this would be the proper investment right now for small families and small budgeted individuals. We are looking also to purchase one and might decide to rent our home. We like it a lot.

Future retirees that maybe are looking a for a perfect retirement home in asia should take a glance at Paradise Philippines. It is a perfect place for retirement as all the amenities are available. In fact the country boast of a friendly atmosphere of mostly english speaking citizens. The country side has white sandy beaches or a vast area of undiscovered forest making it an excellent choice for nature lovers while the city life always boast of the 24 hour night life. While culinary choices vary from eastern to western cultures, the local food variety has its own explicit taste and the availability in city areas are not scarce. Tropical fruits are available with seasonal and the all season home choices like the local bananas and fresh cut pineapples. Its a great choice of place to retire and leisure activities like golf, swimming, night time bingos or just a plain walk in the parks are the dream come true for people looking for an offshore retirement place or for a simple Philippine Travel.
