A Balut (Trứng vịt lộn or Hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese, Pong tea khon in Cambodian) is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. They are often served with beer. The Filipino and Malay word balut (balot) roughly translates to mean "wrapped".
Preparation
Balut are most often eaten with a pinch of salt, though some balut-eaters prefer chili and vinegar to complement their egg. The eggs are savored for their balance of textures and flavors; the broth surrounding the embryo is sipped from the egg before the shell is peeled and the yolk and young chick inside can be eaten. All of the contents of the egg are consumed. In the Philippines, balut have recently entered higher cuisine by being served as appetizers in restaurants: cooked adobo style, fried in omelettes or even used as filling in baked pastries.
Balut-making is not native to the Philippines. A similar preparation is known in China as maodan (Chinese: 毛蛋; pinyin: máodàn; literally "furry egg"), and Chinese traders and migrants are said to have brought the idea of eating fertilized duck eggs to the Philippines. However, the knowledge and craft of balut-making has been localized by the balut-makers (mangbabalut). Today, balut production has not been mechanized in favor of the traditional production by hand. Although balut are produced throughout the Philippines, balut-makers in Pateros are renowned for their careful selection and incubation of the eggs.
Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the embryo inside. Approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold, and eaten. Vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand, used to retain warmth, and are accompanied by small packets of salt. Uncooked balut are rarely sold in Southeast Asia. In the United States, many Asian markets occasionally carry uncooked balut eggs, though their demand in North America is not very great. The cooking process is identical to that of hard-boiled chicken eggs, and baluts are enjoyed while still warm.
Duck eggs that are not properly developed after nine to twelve days are sold as penoy, which look, smell and taste similar to a regular hard-boiled egg. In Filipino cuisine, these are occasionally beaten and fried, similar to scrambled eggs, and served with a vinegar dip.
The age of the egg before it can be cooked is a matter of local preference. In the Philippines, the perfect balut is 17 days old, at which point it is said to be balut sa puti ("wrapped in white"). The chick inside is not old enough to show its beak, feathers or claws and the bones are undeveloped. The Vietnamese prefer their balut matured from 19 days up to 21 days, when the chick is old enough to be recognizable as a baby duck and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked. In Cambodia, most people prefer to eat it while it is still warm in its shell. Served with nothing more than a little garnish, it is widely popular. Usually, it is accompanied by a mixture of lime juice and ground pepper.
In popular media
Balut has been the "shocking" topic of some television shows because of its taboo nature in some Western cultures. In two episodes of Survivor: Palau and one episode of Survivor: China, the contestants were made to eat this Asian delicacy. Similarly, balut is frequently featured on Fear Factor. Recently, contestants of The Amazing Race Asia 2 had to eat 8 baluts as a team before receiving their next clue. Balut was also featured on the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, where the host pronounced 18-day-old balut to be one the strangest foods he'd ever eaten in his life, but far better tasting than he had expected. The members of the rock band Switchfoot ate balut on stage at their concert in the Philippines. Video footage of this occurrence can be seen on the Switchfoot Podcast, episode 28.
Video of eating balut:

The primary advantage in medical tourism is cost. You can save a lot of money when you choose to have cosmetic surgery done in the philippines. Because of the favorable exchange rate (as of november 2007, it is $1= p42), both local and foreign patients who otherwise couldn't afford cosmetic surgery can benefit from the lower overhead costs and professional fees. Procedures can be performed at a fraction of the amount you would spend on the same procedure in the us or europe. For example, the average price for liposuction (3 areas) in the u.S. Is something like $5,500- $7,000 and in the philippines, a qualified surgeon will charge only $1,800. For breast augmentation, the average price in the u.S. Is $5,000 - $8,000. In the philippines, it ranges from $2,500 to $4,500, depending on the implant (more prices at edit).
Cost is not the only advantage. The philippines has several advantages over that of other countries — in the philippines, there are many well-trained and highly skilled plastic surgeons who have studied in some of asia's best medical schools. Philippine medical and nursing curricula are tougher than many in southeast asia. Many filipino doctors go to the us and other developed countries for additional postgraduate training and experience. The philippines has been exporting doctors and nurses to the u.S. For 50 years now and many u.S. And european hospitals are staffed by filipino nurses and doctors. Besides competence, filipino doctors and nurses are also known for being caring and compassionate. Another important advantage is that most filipino doctors speak english fluently, ensuring the good communication between surgeon and patient that is essential during consultation.
The filipinos are well known for their hospitality and friendliness and even the local population can communicate in english with foreigners. The philippines is a beautiful country and there are a variety of places to visit while on vacation - beautiful beaches, cultural sites, and great shopping areas.
Wherever you choose to have your cosmetic surgery done, choosing the right surgeon is the most important decision you will make. For more about evaluating cosmetic surgeon credentials, visit edit

The Land Transportaion Office has allowed overseas Filipinos to renew their local driver's liscenses if they are abroad.
Administrative Order No.RIB-2007-011, Series of 2007,signed by LTO chief Reynaldo Berroya, and approved by Undersecretary for Road Transport Annelli Lontoc, allows any Filipino who is a holder of aunthentic Philippine driver's liscense at the time of departure and who is presently staying abroad.
It amends a previous detective that granted such a privilege only to Overseas Filipino Workers. That limitation gave rise to inconveniences encountered by other Filipinos who had been forced to return to the Philippines to renew their driver's liscenses personally.
Records officer III Jossie Borja furnished members of the Filipino communities overseas with certified copies of the new administrative.
The authorized representative is required to present on behalf of the licensee the following documents to the LTO processing officer: Original driver's license/one photocopy a photocopy of the Philippine passport 5with visa of liscensee to the LTO requesting the renewal and authorizing a representative to the renew the license on his/her behalf.

This is the most treasure Filipino values that we have. Do you teach your kids to say "po" and "opo"? Or these all forgotten?
As kids growing up here in United States and even some abroad they never taught saying "po" or "opo".It's never really emphasized.I am aware they not been introduced to this very polite way of treating the elders. They never even call their older brother as "Kuya" or older sister as "Ate", they called by their first name and this is not good to hear that one of Filipino values is fading. I think that we're trying to adopt what culture of what place where living or to be too Westernize.
Me as a parent, i always thought them to say it, even somtetimes they forgot and answer a "yes". Like my older daugther, she's now going at preschool and of course they are speaking english but it doesnt mean you have to stop teaching them saying the "po" and "opo". It's like reflecting what a good parent you are. I do feel that Filipino kids ought to be taught by their parents this form of respect.

It’s either Marquez or Diaz for Manny
By ABAC CORDERO
The Philippine Star
The choice is being narrowed down to between Juan Manuel Marquez and David Diaz.
According to Manny Pacquiao’s adviser, Wakee Salud, the Filipino superstar should feel safe and sound choosing between Marquez and Diaz as his next opponent.
Salud said Pacquiao will be assured of a huge purse fighting for the WBC super-featherweight (130 lbs) title held by Marquez and the lightweight (135 lbs) crown worn by Diaz.
"I’m willing to fight anyone depending on the negotiations," said Pacquiao, adding that in the case of Marquez, it’s neither the weight nor the date, that’s been holding off a deal for a rematch.
"I can fight him at 130 or 135 anywhere. But he is asking too much. That’s the problem. If we can only agree, we can always fight. We can fight tomorrow," Pacquiao told The STAR.
Salud said Pacquiao should be happy with a $5 million guaranteed purse to face Marquez at 130 lbs. And this may not include his earnings in TV rights, pay-per-view shares and merchandise.
"But it must be for the 130 pound title. Manny should not fight Marquez if there’s no title at stake. If Marquez and Golden Boy can agree to a $3 million purse for themselves, then it’s good," said Salud.
Marquez is under Golden Boy while Diaz, like Pacquiao, is under Top Rank, making the fight against the latter quite easier since there will only be one promoter involved.
And that’s Bob Arum.
The legendary Top Rank president is leaning on a fight against David Diaz, and not the other Diaz, Juan, who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF lightweight crowns.
Arum had said that Juan Diaz is a fighter Pacquiao should face "later and not now." Another possible opponent, he said, is the winner in the coming fight between Humberto Soto and Joan Guzman.
But the choice is Pacquiao’s.
"Manny deserves a lot of options. It’s his decision. Whatever he decides. It’s not up to us, not up to Top Rank, not up to Marquez. It’s up to Manny," said Golden Boy vice president Eric Gomez.
The GBP representative said Pacquiao has earned the right to decide whom he wants to fight, but said the one against Marquez is "the fight that everybody wants."
"When you have a fight like this it takes time to make it but the chances are very good," he said, confirming that negotiations between GBP and Top Rank for a Pacquiao-Marquez rematch are on.
