Simple at matipid pero masarap at masustansiya

Posted on 24 May 2019 No comments


Hindi kailangang gumastos ng malaki para makapagluto ng mga masarap at masustansiyang ulam. Kailangan lang na siguraduhin na mura pero sariwa ang mga sangkap na ginagamit. Sa mga nakatira malapit sa palengke, masisiguro ito kung mamimili bandang alas sais ng hapon, ilang minuto bago magsara ang mga tindahan, at gusto na lang nilang maubos ang kanilang mga natirang paninda kaya ibinibigay ng hamak na mas mura sa presyo nito sa umaga. Hindi naman ibig sabihin nito na hindi na sariwa ang mga paninda, dahil kadalasan ay tambak pa rin ang mga ito, lalo na ang mga gulay.

Sa North Point market, halimbawa, umaabot sa tatlong tumpok ng mga sariwang gulay ang ibinebenta ng paubos sa halagang $10 lang. Sa mga namamasukan, pakiusapan lang ang inyong amo na payagan kayong mamalengke sa hapon imbes na umaga dahil siguradong malaki ang matitipid ninyo sa inyong pamalengke.

locations, and terms of this promo.

Kabilang sa mga di hamak na murang bilhin sa palengke kaysa sa mga grocery ang itlog, dahil marami sa may pwesto ang nagbebenta ng tig-$1 lang ang bawat isa nito, kumpara sa doble nitong presyo sa ParkNShop o Wellcome. Sa Kaibo, mas makakamura pa kung dalawa o tatlong dosenang itlog ang bibilhin agad. Pero huwag ding kakalimutan na tingnan ang mga presyo sa supermarket dahil minsan ay mas mura ang mga tinda dito dahil bulto kung bumili sila, katulad ng cherries, ubas at pati mangga galing sa Pilipinas.

Pagdating naman sa simple ngunit mabilis lutuin na ulam, mas maigi kung laging may nakatagong mga sangkap katulad ng harina, lemon, chicken powder, oyster sauce, at brown sugar, bukod siyempre sa mantika, toyo, suka, bawang, sibuyas at luya. Ito ang kadalasang ginagamit para sa mga stir-fry o steamed na gulay, karne o isda.

Burglary charge vs Filipina set for downgrade

Posted on No comments
The Wanchai Tower houses the District Court

By Vir B. Lumicao

A Filipina who was set to plead guilty to burglary will now face the less serious offense of handling stolen goods after a District Court judge expressed concern about the original charge.

Merlie Cruz appeared before Judge Stanley Chan on May 23, ready to enter her plea, when the judge said he did not feel comfortable about the burglary charge as there did not seem to be any evidence of a break-in.
After the prosecutor agreed to downgrade the charge, the judge set down the next hearing on May 27, and ordered the defendant remanded in custody.

Corpuz was accused of burglary after some jewelry pieces went missing last year in a flat on The Peak where she was invited by her Indonesian friend to do part-time work for a month as the latter was going home for a vacation, the prosecution said.
The prosecutor said that Corpuz, a helper in an adjoining flat, was even lent the house key so she would have access to the flat.

Police arrested the defendant when the theft was discovered by the owner of the jewelry.
Two sets of jewelry were later recovered from a pawnshop - a pair of diamond stud earrings pawned for $300, and a pair of anklets, for $800. The Hong Kong ID of Corpuz was used in the transaction.

But Judge Chan said the burglary charge was doubtful, citing a video interview with the police in which the Filipina claimed it was her Indonesian friend who asked her to pawn the jewelry.
He also noted that the accused was given free access to the unit, and could not have forced her way in.

Also, during the period in June last year in which Corpuz is accused of entering the victim’s flat, there was no witness and no video capture of her entering the unit.
Chan said if the burglary charge is pursued he would not be comfortable issuing a judgment that would be challenged in the Court of Appeals.   
He ordered a 30-minute break so the prosecutor and the defense lawyer could discuss amending the charge. When the session resumed, the prosecutor said she would amend the charge to handling of stolen goods and may ask the Indonesian to give evidence.

5 Filipinos nabbed for illegal gambling released on police bail

Posted on No comments

Bank Tower in North Point is where another illegal gambling joint was raised in December last year

Five Filipinos, five males and one female, have been released on police bail one day after being arrested on May 23 for illegal gambling in North Point.

A mainland Chinese man with a two-way permit who was arrested along with the Filipinos was also released on May 24 following an initial investigation.
A spokesman from the Police Public Relations Bureau said those arrested were instructed to report again to the police late next month.

The six, aged from 30 to 53, were found playing on arcade machines when a special duty unit at the Eastern Police District raided a flat on Bank Tower at 351 King’s Road at 7pm on Thursday.
Also arrested was a 30-year-old Hong Kong man for allegedly operating the illegal gambling establishment.

The officers acted after receiving tips-off and conducting a thorough surveillance.
A Filipino male and female who could not provide any identity documents during the raid were also booked for failing to show their Hong Kong identity cards, the spokesman said.
Local reports said two fishing machines and about $2,500 in cash, a card reader machine and a pack of gaming cards were seized from the gambling den.
Bank Tower, where the illegal gambling den was located, was the same building where seven Filipinos, including three women - and three local Chinese - were arrested on Dec 7 last year for illegal gambling.
The seven Filipinos and three local Chinese were fined $500 each in Eastern Court on Mar 12 after they pleaded guilty to illegal gambling.

Newly arrived Pinay says she was detained by police on fake charge

Posted on 23 May 2019 No comments
By Daisy CL Mandap

Consulate officials met on May 21 with a Filipina domestic worker who was picked up by the police in Yuen Long two days earlier and detained for 30 hours for allegedly hitting her employer’s daughter with her mobile phone.

Adlao told police, "I did not do anything"
But during the meeting at the Consulate which happened after she was freed on $600 police bail, Mary Ann Adlao told the officials her employer’s daughter, Michelle Wong Hiu-ling, had faked the charge.

Adlao said Wong called the police because she had warned her of calling them herself after Wong had squeezed her arm during an argument. She pointed out that she could not have hurt Wong because her employer and another daughter were in the same room at the time and could have easily thwarted her.
The Filipina also said she was made to work not in the house of her contractual employer Hui Lin Leung, but in a house in Casa Regalia, Yuen Long, where the elderly woman’s younger daughter, Sonia Wong Hui-yung, lives with her Indian husband and four children.

Her contract states that Hui lives in the Yuen Long house with Sonia and her family, but Adlao said her employer actually resided in another district with Michelle.
The Filipina said the argument happened when she returned from her day-off at about 8pm on May 19, and was confronted by Sonia and Hui because she had left the house at 7am that day, one hour earlier than she was told.

As the argument escalated, Michelle reportedly arrived, and immediately ordered Adlao to go down the stairs where she was then.

of the incident by Adlao's sister
“Pagbabang pagbaba ko ay lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ako sa kanang braso ng mahigpit. Sinabi ko sa kanya na huwag niya akong saktan kundi ay tatawag ako ng pulis,” Adlao said in her police statement.

“Binitawan niya ang kamay ko at siya ang pumunta sa gilid ko, sa tapat ng TV. Sabi niya sinaktan ko siya kaya siya ang tatawag ng pulis. Tapos, dumating mga pulis pagkatapos niyang tumawag sa telepono.”

While the argument was going on, Adlao managed to place a video call to her sister, Catherine, who is also working in Hong Kong, asking her to call the police because her employer’s family had threatened to have her arrested.
Catherine managed to record a scene where Hui and her daughters are shown on the other side of the vast living room, across the stairs where Adlao was. One of the women is also shown putting away what appeared to be a video camera.

In his own statement, the arresting officer said the allegation against Adlao was that she assaulted Wong Hiu-ling with a black mobile phone “on the left forehead, causing discomfort” to the alleged victim.

But when asked about the allegation, Adlao reportedly said, “I didn’t do anything.”
The incident happened nine days after Adlao had served notice that she was terminating her contract with Hui.

Adlao’s decision to leave was allegedly sparked by Sonia getting mad when the maid hesitated about joining the family on a trip to Singapore, on learning that she was booked on a separate flight.

But Adlao told the Consulate officials she also wanted to leave because she and the other maid were not given enough food. When the family would eat out, they got nothing to eat at all because Sonia reportedly told them about two months after they started working for her not to touch any of the food in her house without being told.
Although her friends and her sister gave her food on her days off, Adlao said she lost a lot of weight in the four months that she was in Hui’s employ.

The Filipina said her duties included taking care of Sonia’s 8-month-old baby, cooking, washing two cars, feeding the family’s pet rabbit, and cleaning the entire house, which has four floors and measures 2,200 square feet. Another Filipina maid did the laundry and other chores.

But despite the hard work, Adlao said she had a good relationship with Sonia, until she balked at joining her family in the Singapore trip, concerned that she would be held up at the airport because she was booked on a separate flight.

Adlao is due to report back to the police on Jun 11.

Meantime, she and the owner of her employment agency are preparing to ask Hui to pay her unpaid salary and other benefits, including one month’s salary in lieu of notice.

They are also seeking advice on whether Adlao can claim damages against Michelle for the alleged malicious prosecution.
