THE UNITED KINGDOM BACKS THE PHILIPPINES
ENGLAND IS THE HOME OF MODERN FOOTBALL (AKA SOCCER), AND BRITISH AMBASSADOR STEPHEN LILLIE, speaking from the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Manila, gives a strong thumbs up to doing business in the Philippines. To avoid confusion, England is part of Great Britain which is part of the United Kingdom which is part of the European Union.
Therefore with reference to the 2011 Royal Wedding, Prince William and Princess Catherine are now second in line to be King and Queen of the United Kingdom - but not of the European Union, although millions of Europeans have publicly expressed the opinion that 'Will & Kate' also belong to them, as Will's ancestors came to Britain from from Germany and they have branches all over Europe.
Stephen Lillie does not discuss this issue and states that the Philippine population of 92 million makes us the 3rd English-speaking country of the world. He goes on to praise the international success of Philippine call-centers, whose clients include British blue-chip companies such as Shell, HKBC, and the Financial Times.
He says that our battle against corruption is being won, and the presence of more than 200 major British companies here signifies clearly that now is an excellent time for British and other European companies to invest in the Philippines.
Enthusiastic about the developing popularity of Filipino football and the inspiring progress of the Philippine Askals, most Englishmen everywhere look forward to seeing them qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and they also hope that before then Filipino sports fans will join them in visiting the 2012 Olympics in London.

Forget the negative attitudes of stick-in-the-mud critics and do a Google search to see the creativity of Filipinos who have posted on the internet their own versions of DOT's inspiring
new tourism slogan. Who cares what the Swiss did in 1951? They didn't invent the English
language and they didn't coin the "it's more fun" phrase. Positive-thinking Filipinos like the
new slogan and are having lots of fun proving the truth in it. DOT deserves congratulations!

South Forbes Golf City
When business-minded individuals invest, they look for a site where they can set up and grow a thriving business and indulge in life’s long list of pleasures on a regular basis. As the cliché goes, it’s best to hit two birds with one stone: a winning investment.
Among all the projects in the South, one fully master planned project combines the top elements of business and pleasure. South Forbes Golf City, an integrated golf resort city located in Metro Sta. Rosa, has the perfect mix of commercial and leisure components.
The Esplanade, a five-storey mixed-use complex, will rise along this new city’s main artery, South Boulevard. Enterprising family heads can lease out a commercial unit on the ground floor and set up a coffee house, service shop, or restaurant. They will surely get a steady stream of clients from the managers and executives at the nearby technopark and from students and faculty of the area’s top schools, such as St. Scho and La Salle.
At any time of the day, these entrepreneurs can also tend to their family’s needs at their deluxe residential unit upstairs – thus spelling total business and family convenience.
Near The Esplanade will rise another solid venue for business: the South Forbes City Center. It will feature top restaurants, movie houses, and boutiques. Entrepreneurs can literally watch their business grow as this city’s population grows exponentially.
To unwind, they can take a short walk along the lagoon with the family. They can also treat business associates to a practice round at the all-new South Forbes Driving Range, conveniently tucked in a strategic area at the City Center.
The South Forbes Driving Range duplicates the playing conditions in South Forbes’ very own world-class golf course: the 18-hole South Forbes Golf Club. Designed by the International Management Group (IMG), the South Forbes Golf Club takes advantage of the site’s hilly terrain and offers golfers magnificent views of Mt. Makiling and Laguna de Bay.
If you’re a business-minded person, then here’s one really good deal for you to ponder. The free golf membership that comes along with every lot and condominium purchase at South Forbes makes it a sure investment that will yield not just high returns, but a lot of pleasure in the future. Imagine yourself securing a deal while playing with your prospective business partner at the South Forbes Golf Club. Or playing basketball or tennis at the South Forbes Leisure Club with your overseas-based relatives. Or have an afternoon of relaxation with the love of your life at the South Forbes hotel’s spa and wellness center.
Mixing business and pleasure doesn’t end at South Forbes, however. South Forbes’ affiliation with the exclusive golf club of IMG SportsClub entitles you to a grand time at the greens in 42 top golf courses worldwide.
If you love traveling to the US West Coast, then you can play golf at the prestigious Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco with your foreign business counterparts. Over at the East Coast, you can play doubles tennis at The Fox Valley Club in New York. If you love touring Europe, then you can play squash at the Golf & Country Club Fleesensee in Germany.

See our Home Page to find out how the new "I Am Involved" SM Eco Bag helps to conserve Philippine forests
"Let us
end the culture of negativism; let us
uplift our fellow Filipinos at every
opportunity. Why are there people who
enjoy finding fault in our country,
who find it so hard - as though it
were a sin - to say something nice?
Can we even remember the last time we
praised a fellow Filipino?"
"Let us
stop pulling our fellow man down. Let
us put an end to our crab mentality.
Let us make the effort to recognize
the good that is being done."
"If you
see something right, do not think
twice - praise it. If you see a
policeman directing traffic, coatless
beneath the rain - go to him and say,
"Thank you.""
"If you
fall sick, and you see your nurse
caring for you, when she could easily
be treating foreigners for a higher
salary - say, "Thank you.""
"Before
you leave school for home, approach
your teacher who chose to invest in
your future - say, "Thank you.""
"If you
chance upon your local leader on a
road that was once riddled with holes,
but is now smooth and sturdy - go to
him and say, "Thank you, for the
change you have brought.""
Thank you PNoy for winning against robber
politicians and giving our nation
back to its lawful owners: the
Filipino people.
"Do you
want the corrupt held accountable? So
do I. Do you want to see the end of
wang-wang, both on the streets and in
the sense of entitlement that has led
to the abuse that we have lived with
for so long? So do I. Do you want to
give everyone a fair chance to improve
their lot in life? So do I."
"I say to
those who would lead us astray: if you
will further disadvantage the poor, do
not even think about it. If all you
would do is to fill your own pockets,
do not even think about it. If it is
not for the benefit of the Filipino
people, do not even think about it."
"If we
ignore the crimes of the past, they
will continue to haunt us. And if we
do not hold people accountable, then
they will do it again and again."
"To those
of you who would turn back the tide of
reform: you will not succeed."
