Honest Mistake Inverted Philippines Flag

The error came when Mr Obama met south-east Asian leaders including Philippine president Benigno Aquino in New York on Saturday.

The inverted flag wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war.
Washington said it would investigate the ‘unfortunate’ incident while Manila said it would not affect relations between the two countries.

'This was an honest mistake,' U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Rebecca Thompson said in a statement, adding that 'the U.S. treasures its close relationship and close partnership with the Philippines.'

After all US admit their mistake. But I hope that at least someone from the Philippines have observe and request for the reposition of our flag. And next time the organizer should be sensitive with regards to the flag position. Especially for an international events.

Al-Nakheel Beach 9-11-2010

During our Ramadan Eid Vacation we went to Al Nakheel beach, Al-Fanateer corniche area, Juabail Industrial City. We left Al Khobar at 6:00 am. We reach at 7:30 am at the sea side. Start out chatting and eating. Enjoy little time in swimming. But not that comfort because of the rocky beach. Due to the heat of the weather we pack up and leave at 10:00 am.

My Saffori Land Adventure - MYM

My Saffori Land Adventure - MYM

Last April 13 I went to the Saffori Land in Hufof City, Al Hasa K.S.A. Yes you hear it right Saffori Land not Saffari. It is not really an outdoor forest, rather a family recreation and gaming center found in Othaim Mall. While waiting for my cousin I spent 3 hours in this fantastic fun mall area.

I stayed in Al Hasa for 5 days and 4 nights. We have a week Eid Ramadan vacation. So this is one of my itinerary.

Here are some pictures of the fun adventures.

I took the banner but forget the Ice Skating ring!

I hope you have some fun!

BABALA TUNGKOL SA PAGTULONG SA MGA PILIPINONG DIUMANO’Y NANGANGAILANGAN NG TULONG

Nais pong iparating ng Pasuguan ng Republika ng Pilipinas sa lahat ng Pilipino dito sa Kaharian na ibayong pag-iingat po ang kailangang gamitin upang hindi mapinsala ng ilan sa ating mga kababayan na di umano’y humihingi ng tulong ngunit sila pala ay may ibang motibo. Kamakailan lamang ay ipinagbigay-alam sa Pasuguan na may di kanais-nais na nangyari sa Riyadh may dalawang linggo na ang nakakaraan. Ayon sa salaysay ng isang kababayan natin na nabiktima, may Pilipinang tumawag sa kanya na humihingi ng tulong na sya ay ma-”rescue” upang sya ay madala sa Pasuguan o sa Philippine Overseas Labor Office. Bagama’t labag sa batas ng Kaharian ang pagkuha at pagkupkop sa mga tumakas sa kanilang mga sponsors, ni-“rescue” pa rin itong ating kababayan na nangangailangan umano ng tulong. Pagkatapos matagpuan ang Pilipinang humingi ng tulong, sya ay kaagad dinala sa bahay nung tumulong; lingid sa kaalaman ng mga tumulong, ang taong humingi ng saklolo ay may mga kasama palang mga awtoridad. Pagdating sa bahay, ang mga awtoridad ay kaagad pumasok at isa-isang kinilatis ang mga papeles ng mga nakatira sa loob kung may mga taong takas sa amo o mga magkasamang babae at lalake na hindi mag-asawa o magkamag-anak. Ang kababayan naman na di umano’y humihingi ng tulong ay sumakay sa sasakyan ng mga awtoridad. Sa kabutihang palad ay walang kinulong sa mga kababayan nating tumulong sa kadahilanang wala naming nakitang kakulangan sa kanilang mga papeles. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, muling pinaaalalahanan ang ating mga kababayan na dapat tawagan ang Pasuguan para hindi magkaproblema sa Kaharian.

Ang Pasuguan po ay matatawagan sa mga teleponong ito:

(01) 482 3559

(01) 482 3615

(01) 480 1918

(01) 482 1577

(01) 482 4354

(01) 482 0507

(01) 482 1802

Sa inyong pakikipag-ugnayan sa Pasuguan kayo po ay aming matutulungan. Maraming salamat po.END

Bradco Avenue, Aseana Business Park, Paranaque City, in the third or fourth week of September.

MRPs that are ready for release to the applicants may be claimed at the Embassy by presenting the old passport and proof of payment. An authorization letter is required in cases where the concerned applicant is not able to personally claim his or her new passport.

A facility for the extension of passport validity is also available at the Embassy for those who might run into an emergency that would require a valid passport.
