Question 

Is it true that the minute maid pulpy made by Coca-Cola company is contaminated by fungicide?

Answer

I guess, it is true that Coca-Cola juice products like the Minute Maid Pulpy is contaminated with the fungicide. This is base on the report saying that the Coca-Cola tested it own juice products and that of the competitors and they found out that they contains a small amount of fungicide. The company has alerted the FDA already. Read the snippet of the report:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Coca-Cola Co. said Thursday it alerted theFood and Drug Administration after it discovered via testing its own and competitors' products that some Brazilian growers had sprayed their orange trees with a fungicide that is not approved for use in the U.S.
The FDA had said Monday that an unnamed juice company alerted it in December after detected low levels of the fungicide inorange juice products after testing its own and competitors' products.
Most orange juice products made by Coke and other companies contain a blend of juice from different sources including Brazil.
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola did not say which of its own and others' products it tested contained the fungicide. Its own orange juice products include Simply Orange and Minute Maid.  source: Associated Press

Should I Change Religion for my soon-to be Husband?

Question
I was raised Catholic and I really love practicing my religious duties and conviction. Last January 2011, I meet the man who taught me to love. I love him so much.

It was June 2011 when we got into a relationship. He cared for me so much and he showed me in every ways how he really loves me.

In July, he told me to change my religion to his. He is a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. Since that time, I really am really confused what to do. Should I change my religion for him, or should I stay in my religion and he will change his religion for me.

But, he told me that he couldn't change his religion. He even told me that asking me to change my religion is his other way of showing that he loves me.

Please help me....

Ann of Negros Occidental.

Answer
I understand what you feel.

Actually, you'll not be confused what to do if you will open up your mind for the religion. Why not try to examine their religion by attending their seminar on doctrines? That's the best step you need to do first before deciding what to do. After all, it's a biblical teaching to examine the teaching of any religion to know whether it is of God or not for you to make sure that you'll be walking on the path towards salvation.

When I say examining a religion, I really mean studying their doctrines by attending a seminar on their doctrine. And then compare the teachings of your current religion to his religion. Then after doing this, and you'll find out that there will be nothing wrong if you'll join them, then why not do that? But if you think that their teachings are not of God, then why join their religion?

But you need to understand that active members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, or those who accepted and understand its doctrines will never change their religion just for a girlfriend or boyfriend or loveones or work. They are the type of members that give priorities to their spiritual obligations. Most of them abandon their obligations at work just to attend their worship services.

But in the case of your boyfriend, it is true that he really loves you. Inviting you to change your religion is one of the ways that show his love to you. He simply wants you to be saved on judgment day for his belief is that outside the true Church of Christ, there is no salvation. He simply wants you to serve the true God, because he believes that outside the true Church of Christ is worshiping the false gods.

It might be true that there are couples who became successful in terms of spiritual life even if they have different religion. What I mean, the husband is affiliated with a certain sect different from the sect that the wife goes with. But I don't think you'll get married if you will not change your religion to his religion because in the INC, members are prohibited to marry non-members.

Has Floyd Mayweather Jr poor Sportsmanship?

Question
I watched the fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr and Victor Ortiz.

I can say that the fight is well controlled by Floyd who has a higher  percentage of accuracy compared to his opponent.

However, I really hate to see that he knocked his opponent even if it is still waiting something from the referee.

Does what Floyd showed a sign of an athlete with poor sportsmanship?

Answer
I also watched the fight last Sunday here in the Philippines. But I choose to watch it via Satellite than via pay-per-view. I am not really the fan of these two fighters.

Now, regarding on how Floyd Mayweather Jr knocked out Victor Ortiz... Well, there is nothing wrong with it. Officially, the time for the fight was called by the referee  in which means that the fight will start again as to finish the round.

The only problem is that the referee failed to properly start the fight just like what most of the referee have done  when signaling the two fighters to continue the halted fight for a particular round.

Even if the referee has shortcoming, Victor Ortiz has forgotten the very rule in boxing while inside the ring, that is to protect self always.

But in terms of sportsmanship.... Well, Floyd Mayweather Jr seems short of it. He couldn't just wait for his opponent to raise his globes before throwing the powerful punches. And as proof that he is not really disciplined well by his parents is the way he talk to an old reporter.

If we will look Floyd Mayweather Jr against Manny Pacquiao, you'll realize that Manny Pacquiao even if he failed to take formal education for Secondary school before he went into boxing, but then Pacquiao is more professional than Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao is more respectful than Mayweather. Pacman is best to be used as model for the kids, while Floyd should not be promoted to kids for it will only bring harm to the kids.

Where to Stay in Hinunangan Southern Leyte

Question
I will be visiting Hinunangan Southern Leyte next month. I am wondering if there are hotels in Hinunangan to stay in. Please help.

Answer
Hinunangan Southern Leyte has many hotels and resorts to stay. You can choose to stay with Tiya Pacita hotel which is located within the business center of the town. But if you need cheaper and affordable accommodation, then you can opt to stay at the lodging house of the Sts Peter and Paul Multipurpose Cooperative located in Bangkas B (along the highway to Silago).

If you want to stay near the beach, then you can stay at Las Vegas Resort in Bangkas or in many resorts and hotel located in Barangay Tahusan. The resorts there include "The Running Man Resort" which was owned by an actor of the movie "Running Man".
