Attention! Customers!
Mandaluyong Mayor Benhur Abalos, Jr. tolerates Power Nut Food Manufacturing?
Said firm’s address was at 2nd Floor G. Square Mall, Barangka Drive, Mandaluyong City.
On January 6, 2010, I went to said store and purchased a product. Proof of purchase is Power Nut Food Manufacturing official receipt No. 0761 dated January 06, 2010. Said official receipt does not bear any (visible to unaided eye) authorized signature. In addition, while I was at said establishment there was no prominent display of posters, stickers, and other notices that will generate public awareness of the rights and privileges of senior citizens. I believe said establishment violated R.A. 9257

On April 8, 2011, I went to SMART Broadband store at SM Megamall, Mandaluyong.While I was
there, I was given a piece of paper bearing the following: "SM Megamall RS 3037 SALES &
ACCT MGMT Please wait until your number is called. An employee, identified by an another
employee at said store, as "Heidi Caga Casino" did not provide me with priority even after
I identified myself as a senior citizen and showed my Senior Citizen I.D. card. I believe
said SMART Broadband employee violated an implementing rule/regulation of R.A. 9257. Said
SMART Broadband store is one of the establishments in Mandaluyong covered by said law.
Also, while I was at said store, there was no required prominent display of posters, stickers, and other notices that will generate public awareness of the rights and privileges of senior citizens. The
mayor in Mandaluyong at the time of said incident was identified as Ben Hur Abalos, Jr.

Evidence vs. government employees at Robinsons postal station, Robinsons Place, Ermita, Manila.
On April 10, 2011, I went to said postal station. A person, identified as government employee Michael A. De Los Reyes, working at said postal station, issued to me an Acknowledgement Receipt which did not have a number.Also, on said date,
the employees at said station accepted my registered letters for mailing but neither of said employees signed that they received said letters. Also, said de los Reyes told me words to the effect that it is not allowed for me to take out registry return cards.
He did not provide to me evidence to support his said allegation. What was said Michael A. De Los Reyes doing at the Robinsons Postal Station when the I.D. he produced identified him as a Window Teller at the Ermita post office?st Also, why was I charged 35 pesos for each registered letter? While I was in said post office, there was no
visible express lanes for seniors and I was not given priority. I believe said postal employees violated the implementing
rules and regulations of R.A. 9257.

Focus on Fire Safety: Wildfire
U.S. Fire Administration: FEMA

More and more people are making their homes in woodland settings, rural areas, or remote mountain sites. There, residents enjoy the beauty of the environment but face the very real danger of wildfire. Wildfires often begin unnoticed. They can be ignited by the careless tossing of a cigarette, an unattended campfire, or from natural causes like lightning. They spread quickly igniting brush, trees, and homes.

Each year fire burns millions of acres of woodland across the United States.


We can better live with the land by learning about the natural areas we inhabit and what we can do to reduce our risk of loss if wildfire occurs. Homes that survive almost always do so because their owners had prepared for the eventuality of fire. In a wildfire, every second counts!

The United States Fire Administration recommends everyone should have a comprehensive fire protection plan that includes smoke alarms, residential sprinklers, and practicing a home fire escape plan.

We can better live with the land by learning about the natural areas we inhabit and what we can do to reduce our risk of loss if wildfire occurs. Homes that survive almost always do so because their owners had prepared for the eventuality of fire. In a wildfire, every second counts!

At the beginning of each wildfire season, the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) releases important themes to educate the public on the dangers of wildfire. The 2011 National Fire Season themes are:

1. Safety of the public and firefighters is the top consideration in fire and aviation management.

Firefighters always make safety their top concern.
No structure, or natural or cultural resource, is worth taking an unneeded risk.
Structures can be rebuilt and natural resources generally come back in time. A life cannot be replaced.
2. Firefighters count on you to do your part.

Thousands of communities are located in fire-prone areas. Residents must take action to adapt their communities to fire. These actions will protect their homes and improve the safety of the public and firefighters.

When preparing your property to withstand a wildfire, it's useful to think in terms of zones and consider the area as far as 200 feet from your home. In some cases this may require working with neighbors or other land owners, too.



Zone 1: Home Ignition Zone

The most critical area is your home ignition zone, which includes your home itself and the landscaping within 30 feet. Remember: windblown embers or firebrands can ignite a home while leaving the surrounding vegetation untouched or only charred. Some tips to better protect this zone include:

Clear pine needles or other woody debris from rain gutters and off the roof.
Clear all vegetation and debris from under decks and touching the foundation.
Be sure all eaves and attic vents are screened with a small, ½-inch screen.
Move stacks of firewood away from the structure.
Keep vegetation in this area trimmed low, well-irrigated, and free of dead material and spaced apart to prevent a
continuous path of fuel to your home.

Zone 2: Defensible Space Zone

This is the second most critical zone and includes the area from 30 to 100 feet from your home.

Remove dead and dying grass, shrubs, and trees.
Reduce the density of vegetation and ladder fuels by thinning and keeping them free of dead material.
Replace hazardous vegetation with less flammable, irrigated landscaping, including lawn or low growing ground cover and
flowering plants.

Zone 3: Wildland Fuel Reduction Zone

In this zone, from about 100 feet and beyond, remove dense undergrowth and thin out densely-crowded smaller trees. Experts
recommend keeping 10 feet of space between trees and shrubs. Mature trees should be limbed up 6 to 10 feet above the ground.

While there are many steps that can be taken to enhance the survivability of your home and property when wildfire occurs,
it's important to remember that each step you take, no matter how small, can make a large difference. Multiple steps
together can vastly improve the resistance to fire and subsequent losses.

3. Fires are managed in different ways.

Not all fires are managed the same way. Responding to a fire may include using multiple strategies. The response could
range from monitoring a fire that is beneficial to the landscape to aggressively putting out a fire that threatens people,
homes, or important natural or cultural resources.

Decisions are based on:

safety for the public and firefighters,
what is threatened by the fire,
forecasted weather,
fire behavior, and
what the fire and land-use plans or objectives are for the area.

Firefighters provide the right response to a fire, for the right reasons, at the right time.



5. Teamwork is essential in wildland fire.
