Sir/ma’am,

My comment is why do we have to wait 25 to 30 days as per the banks’ regulation for our checks to be encashed, when the check is already debited against our bank account on the 4th day?

I am a US citizen but a resident of the Philippines. I have a US bank account and every month I write a check and deposit it to my bank account here. But every time I deposit it they always say waiting period is 25 to 30 days but when I check in my account in the US, it’s already been taken out of my bank on the 4th day. My conclusion is that after taking our money early maybe they use our money for other purposes like lending to other customers to earn interest for 25 to 30 days. I might be wrong can you or the bank explain it to me please. Thank you.

Respectfully,
Mr. Flores

Re: We’d be more worried if the present computerized trends would take away our interests and appreciation of the arts. A famous American writer, Archibald Macleish says the artists, poets, writers and journalists are the world’s real architects of growth. Their contributions may not yet be seen now, but our children and grandchildren would surely write that the poems, the articles, short stories and literary pieces we wrote were actually building blocks of the future.

Sir Jun Velasco, then what are we doing to inspire our artists, poets, writers and journalists especially in Pangasinan? There’s even a paucity of published literary works in Pangasinan language for nearly half a century now.

There is always an ethical issue regarding cloning. I believe that we need more education about this cloning before we get excited. I really would like to hear from Miss Danilda about her experiment and if there is, what is the most FAQ (frequently asked question) about her experiment. Are these safe for consumption? Mind if I ask?

This is very good news to a shrimp-lover like me. A million thanks to the great Speaker of the House, Joe De V., for his support in this project. And also to other individuals that were involved in this beneficial project. And most of all, thanks to Miss Eva for this wonderful news. I hope that the people of Pangasinan will stand to benefit from this project. And if this one is going to be successful, they should explore other areas such as fishing and agriculture. I also urge the great Speaker of the House to venture into AgriBiotech and MarineBiotech more rather than just breeding. I think Biotech is now and the future for all of us.
