Cletus Makler: It should be split 50-50
Russ Kiernan: Tutuban Center
Dominic Sciancalepore: Over the years the tradition of having the groom's family shoulder the bulk of the wedding expenses has slowly evolved into that of practicality and convenience. If the bride and groom earn almost the same and the families are of similar economic means, they usually share the cost. There are instances where the groom is from abroad either as an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) or the 'import groom' then by default the guy opens the wallet because he is expected to have more financial leverage. In special circumstances, like that of a 'shotgun wedding' where the groom becomes a runaway but was forced back because she became pregnant, it is usually the bride's family that spends their money. And the groom's family will have very little say in the proceedings, not even some take home food for the dogs to partake after the wedding reception....Show more
Ardell Luy: The ! groom's family also the wife's family does not like to inform the grooms family of the protocol.

Somewhere similiar to the night markets of Bangkok.I've heard about Greenhills, SM Megamall and Divosoria; anywhere else we shld not miss out on??
Tatiana Evanosky: it's not chapter 35..it's chapter 33 "malayang pag-iisip".you probably want to read it....its too deep tagalog...i'm having hardtime reading and understanding it...lolz33 : Malayang Pag-iisip [baguhin]Panauhin ni Ibarra si Elias. Hiningi ni Elias sa binata na ipaglihim nito ang pagbibigay niya ng babala sa kanya. Isapa, si Elias ay nagbabayad lamang ng utang na loob sa kanya. Ipinaliwanag din niya na dapat pa ring mag-ingat si Ibarra sapaglkat sa lahat ng dako ito ay mayruong kaaway.â Batas ng buhay ang di pagkakasundo. Lahat tayoây may kalaban, m! ula sa pinakamaliit na kulisap hanggang sa tao; mula sa pinaka! dukha hanggang sa lalong mayaman at makapangyarihan,â pagdidiin pa ni Elias.Ang mga kaaway ni Ibarra ay naglilipana sa halos lahat ng lugar, dahil sa kanyang mga ninuno at ama na nagkaroon don ng mga kagalit, dahil na rin sa kanyang balak na pagpapatayo ng paaralan. Isa sa mga kaaway ni Ibarra ay ang taong madilaw. Umanoây narinig ni Elias ang taong madilaw ng sinundang gabi nakikipag-usap sa di kilalang tao at sinabing âhindi kakanin ng isda ang isang ito (Ibarra) tulad ng kanyang ama, makikita ninyo.âAng ganitong natuklasan ni Elias ay kanyang ikinabahala sapagkat kahit na ipinagmamalaki ng taong madilaw ang kaalaman sa trabaho. Hindi ito humingi ng mataas na sahod ng magprisinta kay Nol Juan. Binanggit ni Ibarra na nanghihinayang sa pagkamatay ng taong dilaw sapagkat marami pa sanang mababatid âbuhat sa kanya. Pero, ikinatwiran ni Elias na maski na mabuhay ang taong madilaw inakala niyang matatakasan ang pag-uusig ng bulag na hukuman ng tao. Subalit sa kamataya! n ng Diyos ang humatol at naging hukom.Sinikap ni Ibarra na tuklasin ang tunay na pagkatao ni Elias, kung ito ay nakapag-aral o hindi. Ang sagot ni Elias ay: Napilitan akong maniwalang lubos sa Diyos sapagkat nawalan na ako ng tiwala sa Diyos. Alam ni Elias na marami pa ang mga taong gustong kumausap kay Ibarra kaya nagpaalam na ito. Pero, nangako siyang anumang oras na kailangan siya ay babalik siya sapagkat mayroon pa siyang tinatanaw na utang na loob kay Ibarra.http://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talaan_ng_mga_Kabanat......Show more
Maryland Gareau: I think you've just got it down pat. Go to Divisoria for really good buys, but make sure you watch your belongings, there are a lot of snatchers there.SM Department stores sells quality clothing at reasonable prices, but I recommend going to Divisoria instead.If you find a 100 peso blouse at SM, you would probably find the same blouse in Divisoria for 50 pesos. The prices there are really really really low and some even re-se! ll the goods that they buy from there.Items from Greenhills are a littl! e expensive, but you can bargain for a good price....Show more

Jose Bouliouris: traditionally, it's the groom (and family) who pays for the wedding expenses... but in today! 's modern world, whoever has the money will handle the expenses. Most of the time, both wife and groom share for it.
Carolynn Testani: The story is about Elias and Ibarra talking about Ibarra's enemies right?
Amada Greising: Yes, but people will lash out against who ever is in charge at the time. Regardless of how well they are, or are not doing.

Mitzie Clough: why are Filipinos angry with the current government?Aren't previous administrations just as accountable to the concern on food shortage?
Angel Klym: Of course, the Filipinos are just looking for a way to vent their anger. What is more accessible and at the moment, defenseless, than the government who has undergone flak from everywhere and everyone with their past fiasco? The government could have foreseen such an unfortunate event and could have prepared for it so that we would not be caught ill-equipp! ed. They have the means to do it if they only paid attention to worldwide events instead of focusing on local issues that tried to besmirch their name....Show more
