Gecko Lizards are not the way to go!

Animals like this so called "Tuko" or Tokay Gecko (in English) are being hunted down for their medicinal values especially by foreigners as cure for HIV/AIDS. As many of our national health officials from the Department of Health and World Health Organization have disproved the claims because there are no scientific evidences yet  on this issue. Too many scams around so don't get fooled with it.
The Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR) are alarmed with the growing loss of this lizards would cause havoc in the balance of our ecosystem. I hope that people would stop this and the lowly will become an endangered species of animals in our land. Stop the illegal trade.

GM Experience: Rizal in our Midst (The Real Filipino Gentleman)

We celebrated Jose Rizal's 150 birth anniversary a few weeks ago. I became intrigued about our national hero and have enthralled by seeing what or who Rizal was when he was in Europe. Rizal was a real gentleman and have wooed alot of women especially European ladies on his study in Spain and Europe. I am trying to recall what I have read this in college for the first time which was not taught in secondary and primary education levels and some documentaries I have watched in ABS-CBN and GMA 7 a couple of years ago. 

I got the thought that he was just a plain  intelligent young man but his testosterone are overflowing for a this short man of a height of 5 feet 2 inches tall  (maybe the average height of Filipinos during those years) could get tall Euro ladies with his dashing appeal and smooth talking skills which he has practice during his travel around the old world.
