Watch Video: Filipino Priest Wanted in Oregon

A Filipino priest in California is wanted for placing a hidden camera in the bathroom. His arrest warrant issued August 18th, 2015 for on charges of personal invasion of privacy, tampering with physical evidence and initiating a false police report.



Back in April (26th) a boy discovered a hidden camera that looked like an electrical socket in the bathroom of the St. Francis Church in Sherwood.



During the police investigation, Bien told the police that the camera was stolen. The investigation continued but there were no charges because they weren't able to gather sufficient evidence for his crimes. 



However the Spyguy Security, an online store that sells that kind of hidden camera showed fom their receipts that they had sold the hidden camera to a man under Bien's name. 


It is believed that Bien fled to Philippines. 
According to the  report his archdiocese asked him to return to Oregon but they did not receive any response.

WATCH: BALIKBAYAN CARGO BOXES, RANDOM CHECKED BY CUSTOMS

The bureau of Customs are starting to checked the Balikbayan boxes. In a news report by GMA News 24 Oras, the BOC will add additional cost to those balikbayan boxes with taxable materials. They said only P23,000 is the total amount allowed cost of one Balikbayan box. 
Screenshot from GMA News 24 Oras

According to Manila Bulletin news: "Reliable sources at the waterfront said Lina initially had approved an increase of the duties and taxes covering all shipments in a consolidated container from P80,000 to P180,000."


According to another report, the Bureau of Custom under the management of Commissioner Alberto Lina planned to double the taxes for consolidated cargo and shipments. This will greatly affect the balikbayan boxes of the OFWs because cargo forwarders gather and consolidate the shipment of boxes in one container to save money and tax, thus the payment of a balikbayan is also a little cheaper. 




 Read at the BOC WEBSITE

WHAT ARE ALLOWED IN “BALIKBAYAN BOXES”?
Non-commercial goods or goods not in commercial quantity strictly for personal use only, such as: wearing apparel, clothing, foodstuffs/grocery items/canned goods; the value of which must not exceed US$500.00.

 HOW OFTEN CAN FILIPINOS RESIDING OR WORKING ABROAD SEND A “BALIKBAYAN BOX” TO THEIR FAMILIES AND RELATIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES?
One consignor/sender is allowed to send one (1) box during a six (6) -month period.


Watch the video report :
They will hold and ask those owners to pay taxes, if they can't pay, they will hold it in favor of the government.


What can you say?

This House Is Worth P1.2M in the Philippines

This was posted originally last 2015, and the finished house with walls and fences can be found below with photos submitted by Jeff himself for an update.


This is an inspiring story about an OFW, Jeff,  who first worked in UAE, and currently in Saudi Arabia. His story as an OFW started with hopes achieving his simple dream. That is to build a house for his parents, especially his mom, Sabia. He wanted her to have a house that she can call her own, and live there like a queen that she was in his eyes. Jeff scrimped and saved money for almost 5 years. There were times that he has to forgo his yearly vacation in order to save money and achieve this dream for his beloved mother. 
Soon after acquiring ample amount of money he finally started the construction of this:
On May 2015, the construction of his dream house started. He contracted builders for P160K (labor cost) to build an 80 square meter house.
He bought and chose the materials and fixtures needed for its construction to ensure quality.

The  Colour Roof Company contracted and installed the roofing.
It has 3 bedrooms with its own bathroom each and 1 common CR.

The above photo is a finished house with fences. The photo below is the windows with grills.
 Sadly few months before the construction was finished his mother passed away due to a heart attack.
But the achievement of this dream house will always be dedicated to his Mom - Sabia.

 Today, 2017 Jeff sent the following photo updates of his house. He said that he spent P1.2M all in all including the fences but not the pieces of furniture and everything inside the house. Check the photos below.
