HEALTH & WELLNESS

With the heat exceeding 35 degrees on a daily basis you would not want to be dehydrated or want to suffer from heatstroke.

Emergency rooms had quite a number of patients with these symptoms ranging from all ages around the country since the extreme hot weather came in. Be informed that anyone and everyone is susceptible to heat exhaustion.

WORDS CHRIS RAYMUND I. FERNANDEZ Taekwondo Instructior and Crossfitter

There are ways of preventing sun burn, dehydration and heatstroke. We have here some easy to follow tips for prevention.

1. Don't overexert yourself.

2. Drink lots of fluid every hour.

3. Wear loose clothing light in color and fabric, as well as a hat and sunblock, and stay in the shade or indoors if possible.

4. Open windows and use fans, or turn on air conditioning. If you don't have air conditioning, go to a public place that does, like a mall, library, or movie theater.

5. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can speed up dehydration.

6. Don't forget to put on sun screen.

7. Stay under shaded area and avoid the hot rays of the sun.

Admiration or Stalking?

r dp

m s.co es

WALANG

BASA G AN

Sabi nila, stalking is the highest form of admiration to the point na annoying ka na sa taong hinaharass mo, este ina-admire pala. So eto ang mga tips kung paano maging isang effective na admirer.

1

Alamin ang lahat ng tungkol sa kanya. Kung anong oras siya jumejebs, saan ang favorite tambayan niya, anong favorite color niya, ano ang favorite soap opera niya.. ano ang favorite posisyon niya.. sa pag tulog, anong deodorant ang gamit niya sa bibig, brand ng pabango sa paa, toothpaste para sa kili-kili, at etc. Lahat yan ay dapat alamin mo, para kapag nag-usap kayo, may pag-uusapan kayo na common sa inyong dalawa. Ang interest niya sa mga bagay na yan, at ang interest mong magkainterest sa mga bagay na interesado siya. HANUDAW??

Gumawa ng account sa facebook, twitter, instagram, google+, tumblr, blogspot, wordpress, youtube, youporn, youjizz, redtube, multiply, friendster, myspace, at kahit saan pang social network/media sites na kasali siya. Mag like at mag comment sa mga status niya at posts at tiyak na siguradong mapapansin niya ang ginagawa mong pag "babantay" sa lahat ng kilos niya. ASTIG!

3

5 6

Kaibiganin mo ang nanay, tatay, kapatid, jowa, asawa, pamangkin, kapitbahay, kasambahay, manikurista, bayaw, manugang, aso, kalaro, teacher nung grade 3, pang 6 na syota, kabanda, kapuso. kapamilya at lahat ng malapit sa buhay niya para feeling close kayo sa isa't isa. Malay mo maging friend mo yung aso niya. SOSYAL!

2 4

Mag-txt, call, YM, Skype, IM, e-mail, snail mail, magsulat sa pader ng cr, mag morse code, mag smoke signal, message in a bottle, eroplanong papel, bangkang papel, sign language, eye contact, at kung ano-ano pang paraan ng komunikasyon para lang sabihin sa kanyang "Hi!" Magpatulong ka sa mga bagay na kunwari ay hindi mo alam para makasama mo siya. Halimbawa, hindi ka marunong magsulat, paturo kang magsulat, hindi ka marunong huminga, paturo kang huminga, hindi ka marunong umintindi, paintindi mo sa kanya, hindi ka marunong maglaba, bumili kang washing machine, hindi ka marunong, wala ng magagawa diyan.

At ang pinaka-importante na dapat mong gawin para maging epektibo ang pagiging isang "admirer" ay ang pagpapantasya na mayroon siyang nararamdamn para sa iyo kahit na alam mong malabong maging kayo dahil sa mga pagkakataong hinde talaga pwedeng maging kayo. Halimbawa, may-asawa na siya, pareho kayong lalake/babae, may kapansanan siya tulad ng pagkakaroon ng sira sa ulo, ayaw niya talaga sa pagmumukha mo, mabaho hininga mo kahit magtoothbrush ka at kung ano-ano pa.

7

Ang paghanga ay isang bagay na nalalayo sa pagiging isang stalker, kaya laging tandaan, stalk at your own risk at kung humahanga ka lang, lagyan ng limitasyon ang sarili. Hanggang sa muli! WALANG BASAGAN NG TRIP!

Kung may pagkakataong makahipo ka kapag magkasama kayo, gawin mo. Pwede ka namang magsinungaling at sabihing hindi mo sinasadyang dumapo ang kamay mo sa hita niya, ang mahawakan ang dibdib niya, ang makurot ang pwet niya, ang mafinger ang butas ng ilong niya, ang kalikutin ang tenga niya, linisin ang pusod niya, tanggalan ng kuto ang ulo niya, libagan ang singit niya at kung ano-ano pang mga mahahalay na gawain na ginagawa ng manyakis este humahanga.

eilene Joy Ondrade Vu is a Filipina self-made celebreality star that has found great success in the North America on the television network VH1.

Leilene has made memorable appearances in various VH1 reality shows. Most recently she was featured in “I Love Money 2”, and previously appeared in the VH1 series’ “Charm School” and “Flavor of Love”, where she earned here nick-name, “Smiley”.

She is also known for her lead role in the feature film HOTEL CALIFORNIA opposite Tatyana Ali, Tyson Beckford, Erik Palladino and Simon Rex, and was also featured in the films DETROIT CITY, HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE, and BAD AS I WANNA BE. Leilene was also 'asked' to appear on 2005's WWE RAW DIVA SEARCH which was followed by a stint on Spike TV's TNA and their pay-perview specials.

After finding great success in the world of television, Leilene is now expanding her “celebreality” brand as an entrepreneur.

“Exotica Emporium” (www. exoticaemporium.com).

Leilene’s latest venture, is a web-based company, which will feature discount deals for the sultriest events, live shows, and hotspots all over the country. Leilene wants customers to live their wildest dreams, and have the opportunity to get the ultimate “celebrity” experience.

Leilene grew up on her grandparents’ farm in Pampanga. She was every bit the tomboy; playing in the mud, fishing for frogs and working the family’s tomato farm. The big city life came calling to Leilene and she got into modeling and acting having landed a film role opposite Ruffa Guttieriez and Robin Padilla. By her teenage years, she had relocated to Toronto, Canada.

To teach her more lady-

like manners, her mother persuaded her to enroll in the Judy Welch School of Modeling. Leilene then shed her tomboyish ways and embarked on a successful modeling career in Canada where she was considered one of their “Premiere Glamour Models.” Leilene also had the honor of being the only woman of color to ever place in an Italian beauty pageant. The ambitious entertainer that she is, it was only a matter of time before Leilene packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles where she quickly found success on VH1 during an open casting call.

In her downtime, Leilene loves the extreme side of life. She has not only learned the art of fire eating and bullwhipping, but does Russian Martial Arts and is trained in ancient Chinese discipline of Wushu. She's all about organic food, and considers herself a geek at heart (especially with a background as a video game tester).

This Fall, 2013, Leilene will begin filming an independent feature film called Zozo, a horror project based on paranormal experiences with a Ouija board. She is also returning to reality tv as she just filmed a pilot for a new series.

S E A R C H I N G

I

have been to South Korea for more than 20 times already since 2009 but didn’t get the chance to explore the country as I always went there for business trips only. Last week was a different story though. I went to Seoul for a 4-day vacation and wasted no time wandering around in some popular tourist destinations. Luckily for me, one of my friends, was on paternity leave, I had an instant tour guide. From sun up to sun down, we didn’t mind the almost zero degree temperature and continued taking snap shots of the city that we badly needed a Thai massage afterwards.

First stop was at the Seoul Tower, a very popular destination for couples (and singles too).

There you can see thousands of padlocks with the names of lovers as well as their promises to each other. We arrived at sunset,

sprinted towards the top in order not to miss it. Perhaps it was a wrong move as I was breathing heavily after that one-minute run. Since it was a Thursday, the place was not that crowded.

We were able to positioned ourselves easily to spots we wanted and went on a shooting spree. Yes, both of us are photohobbyists. The visit to Seoul Tower can only be considered complete if you can see the tower lit up.

Next day we went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. South Korea has many palaces but this is said to be the grandest one.

The place was a maze, lots of entrances and exits making us very impatient. It was a very interesting place though, it was like being in a Korean film and seeing lots of characters in real-life.

Autumn is earlier in Korea than in Japan. One of my itinerary is too be in an island covered with red, yellow and orange leaves. Thus the perfect destination was Namiseom Island which is situated outside Seoul. This is also a popular destination to tourists and even locals since this is just an hour away from the metro. The island was in full autumn mode last week so we missed to experience the sceneries being advertised on TV and brochures. Nevertheless, we still got to enjoy the autumn breeze.

Namiseom Island's popularity zoomed up after some scenes of the popular Korean soap "Winter Sonata" were shot here. The island

even had an area for the actors involved on the said soap.

Overall it was a crazy 3-day marathon around Seoul (4th day unfortunately was my flight back to Japan). I was able to experience Seoul without wearing a business suit. I know there's still a lot to see in this country, I hope to visit it again soon. Hopefully, not for a business trip. - kamsamnida!

あなたも税金の還付申請対象者！！ 知らない人と差がつく！ 得する税金！？ 日本に住むフィリピン人、又は配偶者がフィリピン人の日本人は 約９7%の方々に税金還付のチャンスが有るのを知っていますか！？

皆さんは日本に住む外国人も日本人と同じように所得税と住民税の還付申請ができるという話をご存知ですか？ 日本で働き日本の所得税と住民税を納めていて母国の家族や親戚に援助を行っていれば、一定の条件のもとその行為が 「扶養」 と認められ、税法上の優遇すなわち 「扶養控除」 の適用を 受けることができるのです。最長で所得税・住民税それぞれ5年分の納め過ぎた税金が還付されるということです。 では実際どのくらいの税金が還付されるのでしょうか？還付される金額はあくまで支払った税金の範囲内で、 それ以上になることはありません。 しかしこれまで支払った税金の合計は意 外と多額で還付予想額を算出すると皆さん非常に驚かれます。 この制度適用は外国人のみならず、外国人を配偶者（フィリピン人等） にもつ日本人も配偶者の家族を扶養していれば適用されます。外国人と結婚した時点で配偶者の母国に住む配偶 者の家族・親族も法的な 「家族」 となるのです。 もちろん経済的な援助をすることで 「扶養」 となるわけですから、 これを証明することが必要となります。 還付申請を行う上で重要な注意点がありますので説明いたします。

＊日本人が申請する場合、扶養親族と認められるのは外国人配偶者の3親等以内の親族。 外国人が申請する場合、 自分自身の6親等以内。 ＊ 「扶養」 とは扶養親族に経済的に援助（金銭・物品） していること。 またそのことを証明する書類を提出できること。 一般的な質問事項＜＜Q & A＞＞ Q: どれくらい還付されるの？ A: 還付金は、 申告者により異なります 還付の可能性と還付概算額等は、 申請時に個々の書類を確認後に判明します。 Q: 還付されるまでの期間はどれくらい？ A: 還付金額同様申告者の扶養状況により異なります。 最短で約２~３カ月、最長で約１年から１年半程かかる方も中にはいます。 Q: 手数料はどの位？ A: 申告者により異なりますが、基本的には還付金額に対しての２０～２５％ （グループ割引、 リピーター割引あり） Q: ビザを持っていませんが、 申告は可能？ A: 超過滞在者（オーバーステイ） でも申告は可能ですが、 申告には必ず外国人登録されていることが必須となります。

Naoji Kitaoka, President & CEO

Q: 母国へ帰国する場合でも還付申告は可能ですか？ A: 納税管理人や代理人を立てれば申告は可能です。 Q: フィリピン人で現在は帰化して日本国籍ですが、 申告は可能ですか？ A: 帰化しても、家族が母国に在住し、扶養していれば可能です。 Q: 還付申告はフィリピン国籍ではなく他の国籍でも可能ですか？ A: 申告の条件を満たしていれば可能です。 Q: パートタイムで働いていても、還付申告は可能ですか？ A: 納めた税金が有れば可能です。 未払いが有る場合は、還付申告により充当されます。

Philippine Staff of PG&Co. ready to help you

PG& Co. multi-cultural staff ready to assist you in any language.

Q: 日本で１０年程働き、税金を納めていますが、全て申告すれば還付されますか？ A: 所得税、住民税共に最長で過去５年となります。 ５年以上の税金は還付対象外です。 実際に還付申請を行うためには、税務署・市区町村との対応・各種証明行為・言葉の違い等様々な問題が生じます。 自分自身で還付申告をすると、手続きが面倒、税務署へ何度も足を 運ぶのは困難、 また様々な難題、追加書類を納税者に依頼し、 スムーズに還付処理がされないケースが多い。 また還付されても、本来還付される金額の一部分しか受け取れないといっ たケースもあります。株式会社ﾊﾟｼﾌｨｯｸ･ｷﾞｬﾗﾝﾃｨは長年の経験と豊富な知識とを持ち、信頼できる税理士とともに皆様の正当な権利を行使するお手伝いをいたします。 還付の可能性 の有無、還付予定額、 また委託手数料率を予め申請者に通知し、 申請者は、 内容を確認した上で還付申告をするか否かの判断が可能となります。 ここまでは、無料で対応しています。 株式会社パシフィック・ギャランティとの手続き、連絡手段は主に電話、 Ｅメール、書類の郵送で行われます。 東京のみならず、 日本各地から還付申告の依頼にフィリピン人、 日本人ス タッフ等が丁寧に対応しています。 この機会にまずは電話相談をしてみると良いでしょう。
