			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What an evening of earth shattering glamour and eye popping beauty have I witnessed at Waterfront Hotel last July 26, 2008! The second Ms. Pagcor Cebu Beauty Pageant at the Theatro Casino was flooded by spectators and those who wanted to know what Cebu&#8217;s beauty is all about. And I tell you it was like WHhooAa!!!

<p><strong>Check out her winning moment that made the crowd RAWWRR!&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Q: In this day at age what meaning does self-confidence have for a woman and why?</p>
<p>&#8220;Self-confidence for me makes a woman beautiful not only in physical appearance but also inside and out.  Self-confidence for a woman makes me feel more young, vibrant and very beautiful.  If you see a woman today who had self-confidence you can never gage that a person has fear in its own self.&#8221; - <strong>Miss Marie Ann Maraon</strong></p></blockquote>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Isuzu made it possible to organize Treasure Quest event every year to give a message to the people about the importance of <em><strong>clean emission</strong></em> of vehicles and<strong><em> fuel Efficiency</em></strong>.  For me this is a very good thing to do, we often and most likely take these things for granted and worst ignored. Not knowing one day, we will wake up early morning at 6:00 am and breath  a polluted air, smog as they call it. looking up to the sky so gloomy that it looks like a heavy clouds that is going to rain, but no its smog, a polluted air. I remember my days in manila around 2006 in south express way going to makati, seeing these tall buildings above it was some dark clouds. When we got there in the city it looked like 6:00 pm the place is almost dark, the city is covered by smog. You see people wearing mask, some are not. Stats have reported several death yearly caused by air pollution. and if you think this is something to be ignored, well think again! right now we might not experience it coz most of us is sealed in an air conditioned vehicle and not caring that our vehicles are belching black smoke.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I would like to include this article i bump in the net while surfing. and it&#8217;s a very sad shocking truth.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">&#8220;Traffic jams cause two aspects of economic damage. One is the economic loss of lost time. The other comes through contaminating the environment. Studies have shown that vehicles pollute air the most when they are running at a low speed. This is the reason traffic jams contribute to air pollution. Here again, there are mainly two types of air pollution due to vehicle emissions. One comes from gasoline vehicles that emit carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is one of the so-called “greenhouse gases” that contribute to global warming. The other comes from diesel vehicles, which emit “Suspended Particulate Matter” (SPM) or “Total Suspended Particulates” (TSP), which directly affect people’s health. They are small solid or liquid particulates that are suspended in the air. The major sources of SPM and TSP are diesel vehicles and coal-burning power plants. The particulates are the gross black smoke that can be seen coming out of many of the heavy-duty vehicles, such as the trucks and buses running on the street because those vehicles are mostly diesel. “Particulate matter, 10 microns in diameter or smaller,” which is called PM10, is said to be harmful to people’s health.1 Diseases such as acute bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary diseases and lung cancer are attributed to PM10. According to a recent study by the World Bank, the health impacts and costs attributed to air pollution in the Philippines, particularly PM10, were estimated at US$392 million for 2001,2 based on monetary costs for excess deaths, treatment of chronic bronchitis, and respiratory symptom incidences. According to another study by the World Health Organization, in developing countries as many as 300 million people are dying due to vehicle emissions.3 These estimates show how much damage vehicular emissions can do to economic development. It is easy to realize that motorization in some ways can be an obstacle to sustainable development.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong><em>Source: http://www.adb.org/AnnualMeeting/2007/Essay-Competition/winning-entries/Terumi-Ishii.pdf</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Not only we have to keep our vehicles clean in emission but the government should also be strict in implementing the law regarding the smoke belching vehicles. when the issue was hot, you see officers having a check point, when the issue is diverted and seems to be forgotten, you see them just ignoring smoke belching  , trucks and other vehicles. I mean what the? The sad truth is Cebu is becoming like manila. Ayala Business Park before was a good place to jog, now it&#8217;s polluted since they open the road for public vehicles.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">About the Fuel Efficiency only few of us practice this, probably the ones who&#8217;s pockets hurts about the gas prices and the ones who knows how to. So its really a good thing that this event has this contest and before the game, they have a seminar on<strong><em> fuel Eifficiency driving</em></strong>. I bet you heard this everywhere when you came across of this organization in saving earth, like GREEN PEACE, WWF etc. or probably when you see the cartoon &#8220;captain planet&#8221; they often remind you about saving or conserving energy. that talks about electricity, fuel, etc. The more we save, the less we use them, the less the pollution. Im not going to drag this long, all i can say is im glad that these event is making these awareness to the public. only few company is making effort to help save our planet, or fight against pollution. This problem is not an easy thing to resolve, but it&#8217;s better to do something than to be part in promoting the problem. The change will start from us, individually. Act now, help save Cebu from becoming Manila, POLLUTED!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cebudirectories.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/picture-1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-24 aligncenter" style="vertical-align: top;" title="Cebu Directories, Pals" src="http://www.cebudirectories.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/picture-1.png" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>A lot of people kept inviting me to join PALS (Personal AwarenessLeadership Seminar), a life changing self discovery seminar that can make you a better person and maximize your full potential. I go, oh yeah? is that so, that&#8217;s really nice, but but im busy, maybe later if i have time. What?!? 9,800.00 pesos? Only? okay! but maybe later when i have money&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-23"></span>yeah yeah so i did join the seminar. When Cebu Directories along with Sunstar came to meet the 9 ball challenge star players &#8220;country&#8217;s best&#8221; at the airport, I encounter Joey Reyes the speaker of PALS he informed me that the batch 20 of PALS (Personal Awareness Leadership Seminar) will start the next day and invited me to join (&#8217;Darrell join ka na lang&#8217;) and I instinctively agreed to join the seminar (I just reply,&#8217;ah ah ah okay&#8217;).</p>
<p>Unknowingly, three had past and I already graduated .  What the&#8230;? with all the alibis and excuses from all the laters and unconsciously im done with it.</p>
<p>Day 1, I heard  it from the other participants, that their friends kept telling them about PALS (Personal Awareness Leadership Seminar) and so on, it got me thinking just what is this PALS (Personal Awareness Leadership Seminar) that people are talking about? 3 days seminar? and all the other crazy weird thoughts hitting my mind.  Well of course I&#8217;m not going to tell you in details about the seminar, it will take me 3 days or more, and even if it takes me an hour to explain still I won&#8217;t tell you! LOL!!</p>
<p>Well, here it is. It is a mind opener, that maximizes your life&#8217;s full potential.  So, what&#8217;s in it aside from just your personal awareness stuff? The good thing on this is that it also has its business improvement skill side. So not only it will improve your own self but you can maximize your business potential as well. I know, I knew, you&#8217;ve heard stuff like this everywhere, but believe me, if you think you have learned enough, still, it&#8217;s worth trying. The good attitude is, just empty yourself, get what you think is useful for you, and set aside the ones that you don&#8217;t think so.   You need to be an empty cup to be filled.</p>
<p>The other thing I like about PALS (Personal Awareness Leadership Seminar) is that, it is a growing community of self aware people who supports the activity to help others discover the good thing in them.  A group that helps make our community better in a self awareness approach. The key is, &#8220;change comes from us&#8221;. I even heard one classmate in the seminar said, <em>&#8220;if only everyone can join this seminar then our place will be a lot better to live, there will be more understanding and loving with each other&#8221;</em>. I just want to make this clear to those who haven&#8217;t join yet and those who have joined already, PALS (Personal Awareness Leadership Seminar) is not trying or teaching people to be God or the i am God mentality. It&#8217;s simply telling the basic philosophy of God, and how we son of God has the power to choose that we can have a better life if only we choose to. it&#8217;s a matter of choice, and by that, we can make it happen.</p>
<p>For me, it&#8217;s God&#8217;s basic advice, command, law of universe that we hear often and yet ignore and took it lightly.   In here, the practical way of telling that these laws are the keys to successful and happy life, in a very creative way of presentation. Not only these are God&#8217;s laws but the very essential keys to successful and happy life.</p>
<p>For those who have attended the seminar, I know you can share better than this, share what you think about your PALS (Personal Awareness Leadership Seminar) experience&#8230; enjoy! spread some lovin&#8217;!!!!</p>

<p>This is it, the day the people are waiting for! the main event: the arrival of the billiard star players! excited, everyone patiently waited to see their idol in person! with hopes to finally see their idol in person! while watching the division game, they silently wait. finally at 1:45 the wait is over, and a grand entrance! the Philippine billiard star players entered in sm trade hall. everyone, excited have finally see their idols, rushed into the hall to meet them. within minutes, the hall was completely filled. As expected, the media were all over the place. come to think of it, after all the press conferences last night, they were still holding interviews. In addition to the presence of the star players, Sun.Star boy was present. With his presence, it made me think that he will be competing with our  country&#8217;s top players. When i started talking to people, i came across with this nice old lady named Carmelita. I discovered something amazing, how far this fans will go just to see their favorite player &#8220;idol&#8221;. Imagine, she came from negros, flew here in Cebu just to see these players, as country&#8217;s top billiard players? ohh yeah for them it was worth it!  And im sure alot of others there whos the same, like Carmelita.</p>

<p>Arrival and Opening Speech of Senator Villar</p>
<p>Moments later Villiar arrives to formally open the event. As usual for the opening our National Anthem. Then he talks about the event Villards. It&#8217;s about the sport Billiard that we filipinos are good at that made us recognized globally aside from boxing, which not only in these things that we excel but almost everything. We filipinos are talented!

<p>round 4:41 the star players arrived, and Efren Bata Reyes came first, we hurriedly  went to welcome him and had some pictures taken.  Other players followed as Efren went into Sun Star&#8217;s vehicle already.</p>
<p><img id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/vipichigo/DSC00266.jpg?t=1213899372" alt="Sun Star Villiards 9 Ball Challenge" width="280" /> <img id="fullSizedImage" src="http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/vipichigo/DSC00296.jpg?t=1213899391" alt="Sun Star Villiards 9 Ball Challenge" width="280" /><br />
After the airport, they went directly to Sun.Star office and then to Rajah Park Hotel, for the Press Conference.</p>
<p><span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>Around 7 pm the Press Conference started and the place was filled with the media people. Video Cameras and Photo Cameras are everywhere! And there are people outside the hotel wanting to go inside to see the players.  We were amazed how talkative Alex the &#8220;Lion&#8221; Pagulayan is, he just lit up the whole room and entertained the media and the guest. You don&#8217;t feel the sense of competition during the whole conference, they were just having themselves a good time.</p>
