Trivia : The Philippines - Most Emotional Country in the World
Filipinos the most emotional? I always thought the Italians are the most emotional people in the world. I had a chance of working with Italians for quite awhile and mind you the workplace was full of drama. The scenes that you see in "The Godfather" movies are normal ( except for the killing of course ) everyday scenes with Italians around. They laugh, curse, talk, show affection in the full spectrum of emotions, couple that with their thick Italian accent, it's an opera.
But despite their being emotional and prone to sudden burst of temper, the Italians are one of the nicest nationalities I had worked with.

| Most emotional countries |
Let me go back to the original topic : Filipinos the world's most emotional people?
There was one incident where a fellow Filipino engineer and our Italian supervisor fought in the company where I used to work. They had a fist fight and if it were not for the intervention of cooler heads either one of them might have had ended up in the hospital. There was a lot of cursing and emotions while two engineers settled their differences.The Filipino engineer was more intense, and emotional in proving his point. In the end, our Italian supervisor ended up apologizing to the Filipino engineer.
If a Filipino can "out emote" an Italian, then I guess the survey is right, we are the most emotional. I hope that also translates to a higher EQ (emotional quotient) and not being emotionally challenged.
But the survey is not just about one end of the emotional spectrum, it encompasses the whole bandwidth of emotion: happy, sad and other emotions in between. To quote the article : "Filipinos were the most likely to admit feeling both positive and negative emotions"
I guess there is also some positive note to the survey when the article mentions :
Bloomberg Businessweek quotes Gallup’s Jon Clifton as saying: “If you measure Singapore by the traditional indicators, they look like one of the best-run countries in the world. But if you look at everything that makes life worth living, they’re not doing so well.”
Okay Pinoys, don't cry now!

By reducing the cost of services for the practitioners, I believe more people in the community could afford the inexpensive learning’s and would become profitably engaged in the real estate services profession.

People : Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia (RGV) - The Father of RESA (RA 9646)
 |
| Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia (RGV) |
The honorable Congressman Rodolfo G.Valencia from the 1st District of Oriental Mindoro will always be known as the as the Father of RESA (Real Estate Service Act or RA 9646). More than being a public servant and a lawmaker, he is first and foremost a real estate service practitioner and a realtor. He started selling real estate at the young age of 16. He is a licensed real estate broker, real estate appraiser and real estate consultant. He was a top notcher when he took his real estate broker and real estate appraiser exams. He is also a real estate developer and investor.
His concern and love for the real estate industry is more than lip service. He endeavored and labored to professionalize the industry. As a congressman he filed a bill seeking to professionalize the practice of real estate service in the country in 1988. And for over two decades he endeavored for the passing of the bill into a law. His efforts finally paid off when the Real Estate Service Act was signed into a law in 2009. Real Estate Service Practitioners will always be indebted to him for this law.
He started his political career when he ran and won as congressman of the 1st District of Oriental Mindoro in 1988. He then became the governor of the province for three consecutive terms, from 1992 to 2001. He returned to Congress in 2004. He was awarded one of the Ten Outstanding Congressman of the Philippines in 2011. He is presently the Chairman of the Committee on Housing and Urban Development in the House of Representatives.
Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia or RGV as he is dearly called, is also a successful hotelier. He is the owner and Chairman of the Filipiniana Resort Hotel in Calapan, Mindoro Oriental.
He studied high school at San Beda College, and graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Major in Management) from University of the East. He took his Graduate Study Program in Real Estate Management under the MBA Program of the Ateneo de Manila University.
He is married to Chalie Basa Peñarroyo of Naujan, Oriental Mindoro. He has five children, namely, Joanna, Arnold, Charleston, Gerald and Nico.

Trivia : Top 10 Most Read Books in the World
Just want to share this very interesting trivia to everyone. Have you ever wondered what books are the most popular and most read by people in this planet? Here they are :
Click photo to enlarge
The Holy Bible tops the list, but how come the Holy Koran is not included? There are millions of copies of this other holy book, but I think they are not for sale unlike the Bible, so it doesn't fit the criterion of the survey that a book should be sold and presumed read.
I was so sure that "The Godfather" is included in the list but it's not. People seem to be more inclined to read fiction. There are more fiction and fantasy books than non-fiction books in the list.
But what's really interesting to know is that after the Holy Bible, the second most read book is about Chairman Mao Tse Tung. Now I'm curious to read this red book.

Trivia : "Haunted" House and Properties
On the eve of the long All Saint's Day weekend, I had a meeting with a friend and a fellow real estate broker. We were in the vicinity of Timog Ave. in Quezon City and we passed by a newly constructed mid-rise building. I told my friend that that building wasn't there a few months ago and that there used to be a fenced vacant lot in its place. My friend said he knows the history of the property and he told me that the lot wasn't sold for a long time because it is reputed to be a haunted property. Ghost and spirits were known to inhabit the old house that used to stand in the said lot. Now that the property was finally bought, and with a beautiful and modern building constructed in it, its reputation that it is haunted will finally be laid to rest.
I had an experience of offering a house for sale where somebody died. Initially, I didn't know that the house has a "history" and I wasn't informed by the owner about it. I eventually learned about its history from the neighbors and verified what I learned with the owner. The owner admitted that indeed somebody died in the house. From then on, I tried to offer the house with a "briefing on its history" to the potential buyer. So far, no takers. To these day, the house is still unsold and unoccupied.
True or not, I guess a lot of people still consider properties tagged as "haunted" as macabre reminders of the past.
