On November 17, 2010. Said building was identified as owned by Ayala Land. The guard at an entrance to said building didn't inspect my luggage/didn't subject said

obtained a list of prices of products. I have said list.

advisory vs. SM Makati
at Ayala Center 17, 2010. I entered the SM Makati building through the street entrance to the food court.The guard at said entrance didn't inspect my luggage/didn't subject said luggage to scanning with metal detector. Said luggage was large enough to contain grenades and firearms. While I was at said food court, I saw an employee delivering forks and spoons to the restaurants in said area. Said spoons and forks were in an open container on a cart type device with rollers/wheels. Said employee pushed said device with a hand and then without sanitizing said hand, held said forks and spoons with said unsanitized bare hand and then distributed them to a store named Tokyo Tokyo. So the germs from said unsanitized hand could have transferred to said spoons and forks. While I was at said food court, there was only a comfort room for women.
After leaving said food court, I proceeded with said uninspected luggage to SM Department store and SM supermarket in the same building. No one at entrances to said stores inspected or subjected said luggage to scanning with metal detector. I have proof that I submitted a written complaint at said SM Department store vs an
employee working at said store. Said employee was identified as "Verna". While I was at said store, I discovered that a compartment at the men's comfort room on the
second floor of said store had no lock. I have proofs of purchases on November 17, 2010 from the following stores at said building: SM department store, SM
supermarket, Chow King restaurant.
Lax security on November 21, 2010 at second level entrance to the Landmark building at Ayala Center, Makati. The entrance was from Power Books store.While I was in
the Landmark building I bought groceries from the Landmark supermarket.
Then, from the Landmark building, lax security at entrance to Glorietta Building. The guard at the entrance to said building didn't inspect my waist bag or subject said bag to scanning with metal detector. Said guard also didn't scan my boots.I bought food from McDonalds store.Then I went to the Park Square I building. The guard at said entrance didn't inspect my waist bag, which was big enough to contain firearm. I bought product from mobile experts store and was issued sales invoice No. 21348.Then from Park Square 1,I went to the SM Makati building. The guard at entrance to said building didn't inspect my waist bag and didn't scan said bag with metal detector. Then I entered SM Department store. Nobody at the entrance to said store inspected said waist bag or subjected said bag to scanning with metal detector.
Advisory vs. Metro Club at Makati. On November 23, 2010, no one at the entrance to said club inspected my luggage/no one at said entrance subjected said luggage
to scanning with metal detector. Said luggage was large enough to contain grenades and firearms. At what was identified as the coffee shop in said building, there
was no prominent display of information regarding the privileges of/for senior citizens. I believe the management of said club violated a rule or regulation of
the Expanded Senior Citizen Act of 2003.The person(s) who served me didn't have displayed at the proper location on their clothing the health certificate. Regarding
the swimming pool at the property of said club. I saw at least two persons who used said pool without first showering with soap and water. So whatever dirt, etc.
they had on their bodies could have been transferred to said pool.
SM ignored DTI
I have a letter identified as from the Department of Trade and Industry Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection dated 19, 2010 and addressed
to Mr. Ricky Lim, Sr. Vice President for Controllership, SM Retail Inc., SM Corporate Office, Bldg. D, J.W. Diokno Blvd. Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Said letter is regarding SM Appliance Center. As of this writing, there are SM Appliance Center stores in different parts of the country. Up to November 28, 2010, nobody
from SM has communicated with me regarding said letter.
Advisory vs. Burger King restaurant at SM City Manila. Said restaurant was identified as owned and operated by: Perf Restaurants, Inc., UGF SM City Manila,
Concepcion St., cor. Arroceros & San Marcelino Sts. Brgy. Ermita, Manila. On November 25, 2010, an employee at said restaurant sold to me food. Evidence is sales
invoice No. 3490. Said invoice was issued to me by an employee working at said store. Said employee was identified as "Edith". While I was at said restaurant, there
was no visible Express lane for senior citizens. There also was no prominent display of information in said store regarding privileges of/for senior citizens.
I believe a rule/regulation of the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2003 was violated by the owner/operator of said store. The employee who served me didn't have displayed a health certificate at the proper position on the clothing she was wearing. Before I was issued said invoice, I was issued an invoice wherein the space below the words "Received the above goods in good order and condition" were already filed in not by me the customer but by an employee working at said store. So, if I wanted to complain, I could no longer complain.
Lax security on November 25, 2010 at rear entrance to Manila city hall.Nobody at said entrance inspected my luggage or subjected said luggage to scanning with
metal detector. Said luggage was large enough to contain grenades and firearms. I delivered a letter to the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs inside said building.

The Department of Health (DOH) launched today an expanded child health program providing services and information on health, nutrition, and environment for newborns to 14 year-old children, allotting at least two billion pesos from its 2011 budget.
Garantisadong Pambata, a package of health services that has traditionally been given to children below six years old in April and October, will now be offered all year round and will include appropriate services and promotion even for school-aged children.

Got Mice? Seal, Trap, and Clean Up to Control Rodents
http://www.cdc.gov/Features/Rodents/
Rodents may enter your home for food or shelter. Seal up holes or gaps in your home, trap any existing rodents, and clean up any sources of food or water and items that might provide shelter for them.
Mice and rats are pesky critters that can enter your home through small holes or gaps. Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a nickel, and rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a half quarter!
Worldwide, rats and mice are the cause of over 35 diseases!If rodents invade your home here are a few steps to protect yourself and your family.
Rats! What To Do about Rodents!
If you find signs of rodents or their droppings in your home, take precautions to clean up the area safely.
* Seal up holes or gaps in your home to prevent rodents from returning.
Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a nickel, and rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a half dollar! Prevent rodents from entering the home by checking inside and outside the house for gaps or holes.
Where to look for gaps or holes inside your home
* Inside, under, and behind kitchen cabinets, refrigerators and stoves.
* Inside closets near the floor corners.
* Around the fireplace.
* Around doors.
* Around the pipes under sinks and washing machines.
* Around the pipes going to hot water heaters and furnaces.
* Around floor vents and dryer vents.
* Inside the attic.
* In the basement or crawl space.
* In the basement and laundry room floor drains.
* Between the floor and wall juncture.
Where to look for gaps or holes outside your home
* In the roof among the rafters, gables, and eaves.
* Around windows.
* Around doors.
* Around the foundation
* Attic vents and crawl space vents.
* Under doors.
* Around holes for electrical, plumbing, cable, and gas lines.
Fill small holes with steel wool. Put caulk around the steel wool to keep it in place. Use lath screen or lath metal, cement, hardware cloth, or metal sheeting to fix large holes. These materials can be found at your local hardware store. Fix gaps in trailer skirtings and use flashing around the base of the house. If you do not remember to seal up entry holes in your home, rodents will continue to get inside. Outbuildings and garages should also be sealed to prevent the entrance of rodents.
* Page last reviewed: July 29, 2010
* Page last updated: July 29, 2010
* Trap rodents in and around your home using an appropriate snap trap.
Trap rodents around the home to help reduce the rodent population
Choose an appropriate snap trap. Traps for catching mice are different from those for catching rats. Carefully read the instructions before setting the trap.
When setting the trap, place a small amount of peanut butter (approximately the size of a pea) on the bait pan of the snap trap. Position the bait end of the trap next to the wall so it forms a "T" with the wall. Rodents prefer to run next to walls or other objects for safety and do not being out in the open.
In attics, basements, and crawlspaces and other areas that do not have regular human traffic, set traps in any area where there is evidence of frequent rodent activity. Some rodents, particularly rats, are very cautious and several days may pass before they approach the traps. Other rodents, such as house mice and deer mice, are less cautious and may be trapped more quickly.
We do not recommend using glue traps or live traps. These traps can scare mice that are caught live and cause them to urinate. Since their urine may contain germs, this may increase your risk of being exposed to diseases.
Also place traps in outbuildings and in areas that might likely serve as rodent shelters. Natural rodent predators, such as non-poisonous snakes, owls, and hawks, may also help control and reduce the number of rodents outside the home.
If you trap inside your home, but do not seal up rodent entry holes, new rodents will enter the dwelling. For information on how to seal up holes inside and outside the home, please see the Seal Up! page.
* Clean up any sources of food or water, and items that might provide shelter for rodents.
Clean up rodent food sources and nesting sites
various food containers with properly sealed lids
Keep food in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids.
Prevent contact with rodents by cleaning up your home, workplace, or campsite.
Eliminate possible rodent food sources
* Keep food in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids.
* Clean up spilled food right away and wash dishes and cooking utensils soon after use.
* Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
* Always put pet food away after use and do not leave pet-food or water bowls out overnight.
* Keep bird feeders away from the house and utilize squirrel guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
* Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid.
* Keep compost bins as far away from the house as possible (100 feet or more is best).
* Keep grains and animal feed in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids. In the evening, uneaten animal feed should be returned to containers with lids.
If storing trash and food waste inside the home, do so in rodent-proof containers, and frequently clean the containers with soap and water. Dispose of trash and garbage on a frequent and regular basis, and pick up or eliminate clutter.
Eliminate possible nesting sites outside the home. Elevate hay, woodpiles, and garbage cans at least 1 foot off the ground. Move woodpiles far away from the house (100 feet or more is best). Get rid of old trucks, cars, and old tires that mice and rats could use as homes. Keep grass cut short and shrubbery within 100 feet of the home well trimmed.

Got Mice? Seal, Trap, and Clean Up to Control Rodents
http://www.cdc.gov/Features/Rodents/
Rodents may enter your home for food or shelter. Seal up holes or gaps in your home, trap any existing rodents, and clean up any sources of food or water and items that might provide shelter for them.
Mice and rats are pesky critters that can enter your home through small holes or gaps. Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a nickel, and rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a half quarter!
Worldwide, rats and mice are the cause of over 35 diseases!If rodents invade your home here are a few steps to protect yourself and your family.
Rats! What To Do about Rodents!
If you find signs of rodents or their droppings in your home, take precautions to clean up the area safely.
* Seal up holes or gaps in your home to prevent rodents from returning.
Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a nickel, and rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a half dollar! Prevent rodents from entering the home by checking inside and outside the house for gaps or holes.
Where to look for gaps or holes inside your home
* Inside, under, and behind kitchen cabinets, refrigerators and stoves.
* Inside closets near the floor corners.
* Around the fireplace.
* Around doors.
* Around the pipes under sinks and washing machines.
* Around the pipes going to hot water heaters and furnaces.
* Around floor vents and dryer vents.
* Inside the attic.
* In the basement or crawl space.
* In the basement and laundry room floor drains.
* Between the floor and wall juncture.
Where to look for gaps or holes outside your home
* In the roof among the rafters, gables, and eaves.
* Around windows.
* Around doors.
* Around the foundation
* Attic vents and crawl space vents.
* Under doors.
* Around holes for electrical, plumbing, cable, and gas lines.
Fill small holes with steel wool. Put caulk around the steel wool to keep it in place. Use lath screen or lath metal, cement, hardware cloth, or metal sheeting to fix large holes. These materials can be found at your local hardware store. Fix gaps in trailer skirtings and use flashing around the base of the house. If you do not remember to seal up entry holes in your home, rodents will continue to get inside. Outbuildings and garages should also be sealed to prevent the entrance of rodents.
* Page last reviewed: July 29, 2010
* Page last updated: July 29, 2010
* Trap rodents in and around your home using an appropriate snap trap.
Trap rodents around the home to help reduce the rodent population
Choose an appropriate snap trap. Traps for catching mice are different from those for catching rats. Carefully read the instructions before setting the trap.
When setting the trap, place a small amount of peanut butter (approximately the size of a pea) on the bait pan of the snap trap. Position the bait end of the trap next to the wall so it forms a "T" with the wall. Rodents prefer to run next to walls or other objects for safety and do not being out in the open.
In attics, basements, and crawlspaces and other areas that do not have regular human traffic, set traps in any area where there is evidence of frequent rodent activity. Some rodents, particularly rats, are very cautious and several days may pass before they approach the traps. Other rodents, such as house mice and deer mice, are less cautious and may be trapped more quickly.
We do not recommend using glue traps or live traps. These traps can scare mice that are caught live and cause them to urinate. Since their urine may contain germs, this may increase your risk of being exposed to diseases.
Also place traps in outbuildings and in areas that might likely serve as rodent shelters. Natural rodent predators, such as non-poisonous snakes, owls, and hawks, may also help control and reduce the number of rodents outside the home.
If you trap inside your home, but do not seal up rodent entry holes, new rodents will enter the dwelling. For information on how to seal up holes inside and outside the home, please see the Seal Up! page.
* Clean up any sources of food or water, and items that might provide shelter for rodents.
Clean up rodent food sources and nesting sites
various food containers with properly sealed lids
Keep food in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids.
Prevent contact with rodents by cleaning up your home, workplace, or campsite.
Eliminate possible rodent food sources
* Keep food in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids.
* Clean up spilled food right away and wash dishes and cooking utensils soon after use.
* Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
* Always put pet food away after use and do not leave pet-food or water bowls out overnight.
* Keep bird feeders away from the house and utilize squirrel guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
* Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid.
* Keep compost bins as far away from the house as possible (100 feet or more is best).
* Keep grains and animal feed in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids. In the evening, uneaten animal feed should be returned to containers with lids.
If storing trash and food waste inside the home, do so in rodent-proof containers, and frequently clean the containers with soap and water. Dispose of trash and garbage on a frequent and regular basis, and pick up or eliminate clutter.
Eliminate possible nesting sites outside the home. Elevate hay, woodpiles, and garbage cans at least 1 foot off the ground. Move woodpiles far away from the house (100 feet or more is best). Get rid of old trucks, cars, and old tires that mice and rats could use as homes. Keep grass cut short and shrubbery within 100 feet of the home well trimmed.
