My Love For You Will Never End
As I sit here and wonder
How life used to be
It's so crazy
You and me.
You came into my life
And stopped the pain
Not caring
What you'd gain.
At first I thought, Yeah, right!
This girl's not for real
But here you are
Loving me still.
I'll love you forever
My love for you will never end
I'll stand by you through thick and thin
My love for you will never end.

But here you are
Loving me still.
I'll love you forever
My love for you will never end
I'll stand by you through thick and thin
My love for you will never end.

DTI to carry out tight watch on prices
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is strictly monitoring the retail market, especially in the following weeks in order to forestall any unjustified increase in prices of basic commodities, particularly canned products.
This, as the Tin Can Makers Association of the Philippines, Inc. announced that 202 by 306-milimeter tin cans used for canned sardines and corned beef has gone up by P0.35-P0.40 per piece to a range of P3.35 to P3.40 this month.
Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila stated, “We assure the public that the Price Act will be strictly enforced during the course of our monitoring activities. We want to prevent unscrupulous retailers from raising their prices out of mere speculation so that the consumers do not have to pay more than what is due them.”
DTI Undersecretary for Consumer Welfare Zenaida Cuison Maglaya added that aside from monitoring the price situation in the metropolis, the DTI has also mobilized market monitoring teams in other parts of the country as well through its regional and provincial offices, as well as tap the assistance of local government units to avert any undue increase in the price of goods.
Secretary Favila warned that retailers tend to jack up their prices higher than the projected levels and do so immediately in spite of having an existing inventory that should be sold at current values.
Only canned sardines manufacturers in Zamboanga has announced intentions to increase the price of their 155-gram products by P0.50-P1 in the coming weeks due to rising tin plate prices in the world market. Imported tin plates comprise 70 percent of tin can production costs.
Tin can costs make up about 20-45 percent of the total retail price of canned goods, varied depending on the type of commodity.
DTI’s latest price report reveal that a 155-gram can of sardines costs between P10-11, while a 165-gram can of luncheon meat is sold at P23 to 26.
Meanwhile, Undersecretary Maglaya reminded consumers to practice wise buying to get the best value for their hard-earned peso. “One of the ways is to practice comparing prices. With so many brands to choose from with varying range of prices, the consumers can exercise their right to choose and buy one which suits their budget best.”
She also urged the public to report complaints in price and/ or quality, NFA rice diversion, hoarding and profiteering activities to DTI Direct 751-3330 open from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm or call the nearest DTI Regional and Provincial offices. Complaint may also be sent by keying in DTImessage and send to 2920 for both Globe and Smart subscribers. (end)

A week of mixed emotions
This is the most personal entry I will ever post in this blog.
Last week was filled with mixed emotions for me and my wife.
After almost a year, we finally got what we were praying for. Cherry got a two-liner in her pregnancy test kit. She was pregnant. We were very excited with this development. Cherry started making lists of potential godparents while I was already thinking of a possible layout for the announcement postcard.
Last Wednesday, we went for her first ultrasound. We were saddened when the OB sonologist told us that she was having an ectopic pregnancy, with the baby stuck in her right fallopian tube. Her OB's reliever told us that it has to be removed right away to avoid endangering CHerry's life if her fallopian tube ruptured. Right there and then, we were advised to have her operated on the same day. We called her cousin, who is a nurse, to ask her if she can refer us to an OB we can trust since her original OB was on leave. turns out her cousin has an OB for a sister-in-law.
And so she was operated on, and the baby, and her right fallopian tube was removed. Our spirits were down because we just lost our first baby. But we knew we couldn't dwell on it for too long. As for me, I'm just glad I still have Cherry and we still have a chance to have a family.
