03.06.08Your Key Words, Part III
In our first blog, we did some write-ups on the search keywords of visitors who found us via search engines. In case you missed them, here’s the links to said posts: Part I and Part II. Now, here’s the third installment of our attempt to elaborate on the keywords/questions of blog visitors.
1. “What is bubod”: Bubod is the yeast that you add to the sticky rice to produce rice wine. Kumbaga, it is the fermenting agent. I think it’s made from sugarcane but I’m not 100% sure. Do you also call this fermenting agent “bubod” in your language?
2. “Most richest man in Benguet”: I’ve no idea. Maybe Nashman, Lovelyn, Page 101, and FBI know the answer. Sino sa tingin ninyo ang pinakamayaman sa Benguet? If by “richest” we mean both rich in terms of material wealth and good reputation, maybe Congressman Dangwa?

Do you have credit issues like, say, a poor credit history? Or you have had some financial challenges in the past such as bankruptcy and this continues to haunt your attempts to begin anew?

03.06.08Divide and Exploit
Note: This is a “sticky” post. You will find new posts below. Thanks.
Just to be clear, I am not against mining. If it will help to improve the lives of our people, then I am for it. However, I believe that our mining laws give too much power to mining companies at the expense of people who live in remote communities. More often than not, those people are our indigenous brothers and sisters. So, as in the past, we are the sacrificial lambs that the powers-that-be offer before their ill conceived altar “development”.

03.06.08Ensured, Insured, Insurance
Is insurance important? Yes it is. It helps protect us from any loss that we might incur in the future. It makes that loss less painful and more bearable. Still a very important thing to remember about insurance is the need to fully understand the terms and conditions of your insurance policy. This is true whether we are talking about educational insurance, property insurance, Commercial Insurance, life insurance, health insurance, and the other kinds of insurance plans out there.
In order to understand what your insurance is about, the rule of thumb is to always (yes, always) read the fine print. This rule applies whether you’re buying your insurance from a well-dressed, brimming with enthusiasm, has-all-the-answers sales agent, or whether you are getting your policy through the internet, or whether you’re getting it from your loving wife who happens to sell insurance on the side. It will do you no harm if you take the time to read what you are ensuring against, what is covered by the policy, exceptions to the coverage, the policy’s limitations, et cetera.
So if you’ve read the policy, understood its terms and conditions, and are satisfied with said terms then go ahead and get that insurance.
You will sleep more soundly if you have insurance. But you will sleep much, much more soundly (maybe 200% more) if you understood its terms and conditions.
