In the news reported by GMA 7, a group of pastors and preachers belonging to different churches in Metro Manila filed criminal complaints against editors and publishers of popular men’s magazines and smut tabloids before the Manila Prosecutor’s Office. The Philippines is still conservative regarding this issue. As a matter of fact, the arrival of Playboy magazine in the country early this year was condemned by different groups. The complainants claim that these magazines and tabloids violated the anti-pornography law. Nevertheless, some believe that these magazines are forms of art and should not be banned in the country.

Another week has passed and I cannot help but share some of the most interesting news that created a buzz this week in the World Wide Web:

Forbes.com reported that the world’s most expensive burger was offered by Burger King last June 18. Named simply, The Burger, it costs 95 pounds or 185 USD and can be bought exclusively in the district of South Kensington for two days only. The Burger is trying to beat the current Guinness Record for the most expensive burger, currently held by the American Double Truffle Burger (I’m thinking if this is available in San Diego restaurants) which cost just 65 pounds or 124 USD in 1994. The burger which has the same size of a regular whopper is made out of ingredients from seven countries from Japan to France. According to the news, the secret to its strong taste is the massaged Japanese Wagyu beef. All proceeds from the sale of the burger will be donated to help a London Child charity which will help children suffering from abuse and poverty.

Around 4:00 in the afternoon when a heavy rain caused big floods in Quezon City. It affected not only the people but also the drainage system of some places in the area. This is the reason why our vehicle needed to detour. My 1-hour travel became a 3-hour journey. So boring that I managed to took a picture of the flood in this part of Quezon City Memorial Circle.
