Some Philippine Shops in London

I went to Earls Court today to meet my Sis and to take pictures and to talk to some Filipino-Londoners for the first time. Alot of Filipino lives in this part of Central London. I had a walk on some streets to look for Filipno Shops and yes, I found not only one, not two but three Philippine Shops perhaps there are still more shops in here which I couldn't find. According to a 2007 report from the Manila Times, London has over 120,000 ethnic Filipinos and Earls Court is home to the single largest community of them.

I like the ambiance of each stores its like I am really at home and I'm very happy to met Filipino Londoners as well. First shop I found was Divisoria Supermarket wherein I can easily known the place because of the Philippine Flag on its door hanging. I was amazed of the Philippine products being sold in this shop from ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, seasoning mix, noodles and much much more including coconut.

I walk awhile to look again for another shops then I read the Pinoy Supermarket, it has fresh fruits and vegetables from the Philippines. Lots of Pinoy and other Asian also came to this shop. I didn't stop long because I still want to walk maybe there's still more shops I will find.

Here's my next stop, Manila Supermarket it says Little Quiapo. It sells almost the same with the first one, service beyond expectation.

I want to explore more Filipino here in London like Barrio Fiesta but I missed the occasion because my workplace is in North England and I couldn't leave my job. Anyways, I will find more time to write more on my blog. Thanks for reading.

Aquino satisfaction ratings goes down

Why? What happened?

It's all because YOU voted him only out of sympathy because he is an Aquino?

Only he's the son of Tita Cory and Ninoy that he can continue his parents' legacy and raise the standards of the Filipinos?

Next election let's us vote for Carlo Aquino, Angel Aquino, Kris Aquino and all Aquinos around and at the end YOU will say Aqui NONONONO..!

He doesn't know what he's going to do... That's a reality, he's the only Senator before, who, like LITO LAPID!!!! has no idea on what to do. HE DIDN'T EXIST WHEN HE WAS SENATOR, who had no achievement... No law enacted.. Who SLEEPS at HEARINGS!!!

POPULARITY OF HIS DAD MAKES HIM KNOWN. NOT FOR WHAT HE DID.

It's very hard for Pnoy to sustain his rating after the euphoria of his election. His being a media creation is hard to sustain. People will be looking for results. It's easy to say "Pag walang kurap , walang mahirap" but attaining it is much more difficult. Corruption is becoming to be a culture of the Pinoys, it's from top to the bottom level.

Noynoy did not performed well because he was not prudent enough to accept the offer of his party to run as president without minding whether or not he can face the problem of our government. True that our president is not competent enough to perform his duty as a president citing his performance for the first year in the office. But what we need now is a cooperation and true patriotism and instead of pulling our president down. We have no choice president is already there we will wait until 2016.

Next time (2016) what we need now is a good party system to sort out candidates before they will be admitted to the party. I remember on the year 2004 the administration kick one brilliant Congressman that plays vital role in Estrada impeachment in exchange with Lito Lapid. Sad but true Lito Lapid, Ramon Bong Revilla, Manny Pacquiao, Erap and the like are one of the biggest comedy in the history of politics in the whole world. We don't need entertainers when talking about governance, this is not a movie dude!
