Manila Zoo In Malate, Philippines

Manila Zoo

Manila Zoo and Botanical Garden

This is the renovated zoo (2022).

 This was the old zoo. 

It was not the fanciest zoo in the world. But, it was a good place for an outing. As a family we had a good time there. Spent 5 or 6 hours and enjoyed the visit. Had fun in a small row boat and getting pictures taken holding tropical birds, a crocodile, monkey and large python. It's a fun place. Kids love it.

There is an area called Kinder Zoo Adventure. Featuring a rock climbing wall, a zip line and more. View Kinder Zoo Adventure online at the Facebook page.

I'm sure you could stay from opening until closing and find plenty to see and do.

And for the new zoo, the admission fee is low. A great value for visitors like us!

Web Design Philippines

Website Design in the Philippines

Would you like to start making money from the Internet?

Do you have a product or service you could sell on the Web?

You will need to select a web designer or design firm then start writing a description of your business, to explain to the developer the nature of your business or service.

A service business will not need a "shopping cart" so it will be easier and cheaper to design a site for it.

After your site is up and running you will probably be surprised by how your
business will grow!

There is a saying in the advertising business,
"A business with no sign is a sign of no business!"
A website is like a big sign on the Internet. Think about it, how much longer do you want to wait to install your big sign? Time stands still for no man. How much profit are you missing by not being visible on the Web?

Living in the Philippines I was amazed by how many times I tried to find service people but could not. It seems that most tradespeople and many professionals do not have a clue what the Internet could do for them.

Wake up and get started now before opportunity slips past you. In the race to success your competitors are passing you by. They are establishing websites of their own.

People are searching the Web right now. But they are finding your competitors!

Home Security Philippines

Home Security in the Philippines

Many homes and apartments are fitted with window units wherein the bars are an integral part of the window unit and the swinging windows. These are cemented into the casement very securely. In essence, when you open the windows, the openings are still protected by a grid of bars on the inside.

Most homes and apartments in the Philippines have steel or iron bars covering their windows. The bars are welded to a steel or iron frame around them. Then the bar unit is screwed or bolted into the window casement.

Some window bars are mounted outside the casement.

Some window bars are made of re-bar as are some security fences and gates. Some are fancier wrought iron.

Many apartments, homes, and townhouses have gated car parks.

Ready to buy a home or condo?

It is essential to have a Filipino attorney advise you and review all of your real estate and loan documents before entering into a loan or a property purchase agreement.

Ask questions of your property agent, banker and/or the property developer regarding a loan. But it appears it will be best to rely on the assistance of a mortgage broker to arrange the lowest rate home loan.

If you cannot find a mortgage broker, then it will be up to you or your attorney to check mortgage rates at several banks. Find the lowest rates. Read about money and banks in the Philippines.

pig farm or chicken farm.
You will probably get sick enough that you will need to know about hospitals and doctors in the Philippines. This is why it is a good idea to purchase property in a better location far away from pigs and chickens.

Oh, don't forget to check and see if any neighbors of a property raise hogs in their yards.
