You don’t need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.

The “heat and stress” is causing me to have acne.  I can’t do anything to fight those two, so I resorted to have an online search for ways to treat or prevent acne. I landed at Proactiv website and found out that it is endorsed by famous or well known entertainers; such as Mandy Moore [...]

 

Toughest Jobs in the Philippines

The Search for the Toughest Jobs Philippines

Department of Labor and Employment, together with the People’s Champ Manny Pacquiao and Alaxan FR launched The Search for the Toughest Jobs Philippines last May 26, 2010. The search was created to honor Filipino men and women who face the challenges of their jobs with pride, resiliency and toughness. Atty. Allan Montaño, National President for Federation of Free Workers (FFW) mentioned that the project is also to recognize the need for protection on those hard or tough jobs.

"The labor sector requires enhanced support from the DOLE and all other sectors and it is in the spirit of partnership between the private and public sector that will create solutions and opportunities for human capability and development." - Undersecretary Rosalinda Baldoz, Cluster Head of Labor Relations

The search is open to all working Filipinos and will run from May 26, 2010 to August 21, 2010. Each participant must log on to www.toughjobsphilippines.com, register and upload a picture explaining why they have the toughest jobs. Entry who gets the most number of votes online will win the competition and will bring home a trophy and cash prize.

Manny Pacquiao is indeed the best model for this project for he takes pain as part of his job and what else could be better than Alaxan to take that pain away? Alaxan FR contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, which is two of the most widely used and trusted pain relievers by doctors worldwide. It is used for the relief of mild to moderately severe pain of musculoskeletal origin. You won’t have the pain in looking for it, because it is available at leading drugstores and supermarkets. Aside from Manny Pacquiao endorsing it, relatives and friends had given me good testimonials. So when I had a headache after the event, I tried it and it worked – headache gone.

Cebu, CDO, Davao and Iloilo Bloggers

Bloggers at the launching of The Search for the Toughest Jobs Philippines

It was such an honor for me as a blogger to be invited during the launch of this project. I could not help but think, that bloggers deserves to be nominated as one having a tough job for we are considered as the new media, and we have to deal with most of the stressful things media does. Unlike traditional media, where they would have cameraman, researcher and a host for one event, a blogger could simply be a package all in one; we are our own cameraman, researcher and host. I remember when I joined my friends who are a travel bloggers in one of their adventures in discovering places to promote tourism in the Philippines. We climbed a hilltop with an almost-unbearable heat of the sun to have a picture of that beautiful spot. Even tougher my friends really went to the edge to have a better view, without any safety harness on them and just a simple wrong move could cause them their lives. I was just looking at them and couldn’t go to the edge in fear of heights and thinking if we have insurance if ever something bad happens. I guess my friends are tougher than I was and thankfully everyone was safe after that adventure, plus a smile being delivered to our audience whoever found those priceless pictures taken by my fearless blogger friends.

Though a bloggers job could be tough, I guess a doctor’s job is even tougher. What could be a tougher job than holding someone’s life in your own hands and dealing with the pain of losing it if things didn’t turn out as you expected? As I have watched a TV series about doctor’s last week, a surgeon was even blamed for a death of a persons loved one and in the process killed all other surgeons he could find in revenge. I know it was just a TV series, but it is not far from reality. Doctors do get blamed for the death of someone, even if they had tried their best to save every life they could. Tough isn’t it?
