“Paco Magsaysay January 31 at 6:13pm Report
As you know, our family has been in the dairy business the past couple of years. It is this reason why I have decided to venture into the ice cream making business. After all, isn’t milk and cream the main ingredients of ice cream?

I am the only ice cream maker in the country that is backed by a dairy farm. I have the best milk and cream money can buy. No one else can claim this. We do supply all the fresh milk requirements of Amapulo in Palawan.

Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, February 1, we will be sold in two restaurants in Makati:

The Market
Ground Level, Tiffany Place
156 LP Leviste St., Salcedo Village, Makati City

and

Cafe Attivo
Ground Level, Cacho Gonzales Building
101 Aguirre St., Legaspi Village, Makati City

If you like ice cream, you will most certainly LOVE my ice cream. Under the name Carmen’s Best (my daughter), we plan to offer our ultra premium ice cream through restaurants.

As an added bonus, part of our proceeds are donated to the PGH Medical Foundation, Inc.

Please tell your friends! I am proud to say I am behind Carmen’s Best ice cream. ”

A plea for a better sight… Posted on January 14, 2011 by pghmfi Hi Sir/Ma’am,

Good day!

I am Karen Lorico from Antipolo City, Philippines. I would like to seek help
from your organization
about my friend’s situation, Kristina Sano. Since birth, she has a cross
eyed deficiency. This was due to the medicine
intakes by her mother for a threatened abortion. But God is still good, she
survived, but she suffered badly
with that and developed crossed eyes. She was adopted by a distant relative
since birth. Their life is not
so fancy, but still, her family ensures that the basic needs are well
provided for. Despite their status in life,
her new family desires that she grows up like any normal kids despite her
deficiency. She was able to go to school, get high grades and even unleashed
a lot of talents while growing up. She has helped her family a lot around
the house. Upon graduation,
her only hope is to find a job so as to help her family with the house
expenses and not be a burden for them.

She got a secretariat job somewhere in intramuros before. She said she had a
great
time there because she was able to experience working as an individual and
also helped out her family. It was a bumpy road for her, she is not a
regular employee and also her salary is below the minimum. But still she
accepted the job since they are the only company that accepted her.

While in that job, she wants to deepen more her understanding on her purpose
in life. She got a flyer for a Christian Life Program
for Singles for Christ, a catholic renewal community. She finished the
program and eventually became a member of the community.
During that time, she was layed off from her job, partly because of her
deficiency also. But that’s a blessing for her in a way.

Truly she was gifted with a lot of talents. She blessed the community with
her talents to sing, dance and have that fire in serving
God. She has inspired a lot of people with her passion for service. I know
she is very fulfilled with her relationship with our God.
Up to present, she serves as a vocalist, a guitarist and one of the dancers
in our community. She has dedicated her life to God, setting aside her
financial concerns when attending services. Her older sister provides for
her transportation and food when she serves and sometimes her friends from
the community.

Having all these blessings and blessings she can give to the community and
family, she still wants to bless other people more.
She desires to have a regular job, get a salary to help her family, share in
the community and plan for her future. But companies won’t accept her
even for an administrative job. Her self esteem is very low because of her
eye defect, and she also developed a hearing
problem. She desires to have this corrected so she can live a normal life
and help out others as well but their family’s finances cannot
provide for an operation or surgery since the basic needs is more important
to attend to.

I personally would like to ask for help from your foundation to help in this
cause for Tina. The correction of her
eyes and also correction of her hearing problem will be beneficial for her,
her family and the community.

Thank you for taking time to read this e-mail and hoping for a positive
response on this cause;
and at the same time make a difference for a gifted person like Tina.

More power to your organization! Godbless!

Best Regards,

Karen Lorico

Subject: Before you give too much money to all those charities asking for month every month …read this. Posted on January 17, 2011 by pghmfi

Keep these facts in mind when “donating”. As you open your pockets for yet another
natural disaster, keep the following facts in mind; we have listed them from the
highest (worse paid offender) to the lowest (least paid offender).

The worst offender was yet again for the 11th year in a row is, UNICEF – CEO,
receives $1,200,000 per year, (plus use of a Rolls Royce for his exclusive use where
ever he goes, and an expense account that is rumoured to be well over $150,000.)
Only pennies from the actual donations goes to the UNICEF cause (less than $0.14
per dollar of income).

The second worst offender this year is Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the
American Red Cross…for her salary for the year ending in 2009 was $651,957 plus
expenses. Enjoys 6 weeks – fully paid holidays including all related expenses
during the holiday trip for her and her husband and kids. including 100% fully
paid health & dental plan for her and her family, for life. This means out of
every dollar they bring in
about $0.39 goes to related charity causes.

The third worst offender was again for the 7th time was, Brian Gallagher, President
of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary (U.S. funds), plus so many
numerous expense benefits it’s hard to keep track as to what it is all worth,
including a fully paid life time membership for 2 golf courses (1 in Canada, and 1
in the U.S.A.), 2 luxury vehicles, a yacht club membership, 3 major company gold
credit cards for his personal expenses…and so on. This equates to about $0.51 per
dollar of income goes to charity causes.

This Years Fourth worst offender, who by the way has ranked fourth every year since
this information has been available in 1998 is yet again, World Vision President
(Canada) receives $300,000 base salary, (plus supplied – a home valued in the
$700,000 – $800,000 dollar value range, which is completely furnished. All housing
expenses are also paid, including taxes, water & sewer, telephone & fax lines, HD
High Speed cable, weekly maid service and yard and pool maintenance. In addition,
he gets fully paid private schooling for his children, an upscale automobile and an
$55,000 personal expense account for clothing/food, with a $125,000 business expense
account.

Get this, because it is a “religious based” charity, it pays, little to no taxes,
can receive government assistance and does not have to declare were the money goes.
Only about $0.52 of earned-income per dollar is available for charity causes.

Of the sixty some odd “charities” we looked at, the lowest paid President, C.E.O,
or Commissioner who was heading up a charity group right here in Canada . We found,
believe it or not, it was……

Ready for this…

I think you might be surprised…

It is, none other than…

The Salvation Army’s Commissioner Todd Bassett who receives a salary of only
$13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 Billion dollar organization.
Which means about $0.93 per dollar earned, is readily available and goes back out
to local charity causes…truly amazing…and well done “Sally Anne”

No further comment is necessary…”Think Twice” before you give to your charity of
choice as to which one really does the best for the most – or the least for the
most, for that matter.
