With a reported seating capacity of 50,000, thePhilippine Arena is to
be built on 74,000 square metersof land in Bocaue, Bulacanin Ciudad de Victoria.
When finished, it will be three times bigger than the Seoul Olympics Gymnastics Stadium.
It is also almost two times (2x) the seating capacity of the Araneta Coliseum (25,000 seating capacity only)
Its domed roof will be nearly 36,000 square meters thus laying claim to the title of
‘World’s Largest Dome Arena’.
According to the Korean Herald, Hanwha Engineering and Construction Corporation (Hanwha) won the bid to build the Philippine Arena. Contracts have already been signed (worth $175 million) and a groundbreaking was already done three days ago, August 17.
The project is expected to take 30 months to build and will be ready for the INC’s Centennial celebrations in 2014.
SYDNEY – World Bank chief Robert Zoellick on Saturday warned of a “new and more dangerous” time in the global economy, with little breathing space in most developed countries as a debt crisis hits Europe.
Zoellick said the eurozone’s sovereign debt issues were more troubling than the “medium and long-term” problems which saw the United States downgraded by Standard and Poor’s last week, sending global markets into panic.
“We are in the early moments of a new and different storm, it’s not the same as 2008,” said Zoellick, referring to the global financial crisis.
The US last week for the first time lost its sterling credit rating with the Standard and Poor’s credit rating agency, which downgraded its topnotch triple A credit rating—which it had held since 1941—to AA+.
the US economy will grow at a slower rate for many years to come and that would be “bad news” for the Philippines in terms of lower exports, lower remittances and lower foreign direct investments (FDI).
Kabayan , especially us OFWs are we ready for this? We have not yet fully recovered on the last recession and now another one is slowly creeping in!! We experience it first hand --- job lay offs , cost cutting , lower remittances.
“Let’s pray our OFWs do not get displaced.--- is praying enough? Absolutely not! We have to do our part by becoming ...
Flexible - If we are an employee , then we should at least be the best in our work otherwise we will be a candidate for termination and that's the last thing we don't want to happen especially when we know we have loved ones and families depending on us.
Resourceful - we should not depend on our active income alone.Enrich our knowledge on passive incomes.Do you still cling for job security? Nowadays , does this term in reality still exist? I wonder..
Are we still saving in banks because this is what tradition our parents has taught us when we know for a fact that the interest that we are earning is so little just not enough to make both ends meet.
Kabayan , the times have already changed! Learn stocks , mutual funds , and other forms of leveraging. Be financially literate!
And as much as we strive to escape from this danger by becoming financially wealthy , we should be more prudent in our investment concerning spiritual wealth - because, when all else fails ,GOD never fails. if you feel like hanging at the edge of the thread and though situations might look hopeless ... HAVE FAITH! for He rescues those who believes and abides in HIM!
this is a clip from the movie "if only"..one of the most touching films that moved me to treasure and cherish time to never ever take your loved ones for granted..life is too short..and can change in just a blink of an eye..^_~
Ian Wyndham: I Love you.
Samantha Andrews: Ooh I Love you too.
Ian Wyndham: I wanna tell you why I love you.
Samantha Andrews: It's... It's raining, you know that right.
Ian Wyndham: I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today.
I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear... Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed...
and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years.
Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all... So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be love.
Samantha Andrews: I don't know what to say.
Ian Wyndham: You don't have to say anything... I just wanted to tell you. :)

When youth is just a memory

My love will show you everything,
My love will show you, everythingOur love will show us everything
