Rodolfo Noel Imperial Lozada, Jr., popularly known as Jun Lozada, is the former president of the Philippine Forest Corporation, under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. In February 2008, he accused First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo and former Comelec Chairman Ben
jamin Abalos of involvement in the awarding of an anomalous contract to Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE.
Early life and career
Lozada was born to a Chinese father who changed his surname to Lozada and a Filipino mother. Lozada graduated from the University of Santo Tomas at Manila in 1984 with a degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering. He became president of the PFC Philippine Forest Corporation, an agency of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, on its creation in 2004.
NBN/ZTE controversy
Main article: Philippine National Broadband Network controversy
Lozada served as a technical consultant to former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri on the Philippine National Broadband Network (NBN) project.
Hours before Lozada was scheduled to attend a Senate hearing on January 30, 2008, he fled the country for Hong Kong, prompting the Senate to issue a warrant of arrest against him. He returned to the country on February 5 and was alleged to have been picked up government security agents, an act which Lozada later claimed was against his will. He publicly resurfaced on February 7, accusing First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo and former Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos of involvement in the awarding of an anomalous contract to Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE.
In September 2008, the Court of Appeals dismissed Lozada's petition for writ of amparo, rejecting the claim that he was kidnapped by government agents, and citing a lack of evidence on his claim of threats to his life and security.
Perjury case
In July 2008, former Presidential Chief of Staff Mike Defensor filed a perjury lawsuit against Lozada for testifying under oath that Defensor had paid Lozada P50,000 to change his statement that he was not kidnapped at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport when he arrived from Hong Kong at the height of the Philippine National Broadband Network controversy. Lozada was arrested for perjury on April 29, 2009. Defensor has said that he is willing to withdraw the perjury case if Lozada would retract the allegations against him. Lozada has declined to post bail, and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17:20-25.
Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he said in reply, "The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed,and no one will announce, 'Look, here it is,' or, 'There it is.' For behold, the kingdom of God is among you."Then he said to his disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. There will be those who will say to you, 'Look, there he is,' (or) 'Look, here he is.' Do not go off, do not run in pursuit. For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (in his day). But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.

exhilarate • \ig-ZIL-uh-rayt\ • verb
1 a : to make cheerful and excited
* b : enliven, excite
2 : refresh, stimulate
Example Sentence:
“Whooshing down a snow-covered mountain at high speed exhilarates me,” said Tara, explaining her love of skiing.
Did you know?
Many people find "exhilarate" a difficult word to spell. It's easy to forget that silent "h" in there, and is it an "er" or "ar" after the "l"? It may be easier to remember the spelling if you know that "exhilarate" is ultimately derived from the Latin adjective "hilarus," meaning "cheerful." (This also explains why the earliest meaning of "exhilarate" is "to make cheerful.") "Exhilarate" comes from "exhilaratus," the past participle of "exhilarare," which is formed by combining "ex-" and "hilarare," a verb that derives from "hilarus" and means "to cheer or gladden." If "hilarus" looks familiar, that may be because it's also the source of "hilarious" and "hilarity" (as well as "hilariously" and "hilariousness," of course).

Save up in 10 ways
These ten tips can help you to cut down on general expenses and overcome your financial struggles:
1. Spend Less on Gas
Driving erratically has a negative impact on fuel economy, because accelerating quickly and braking suddenly uses more gas than would be used when driving conservatively. By accelerating at a moderate pace and braking less often, you can increase gas mileage and spend less on gas. You can also save money on gas by seeking stations with the lowest prices. Gaspricewatch.com can help to compare gas prices in your area.
2. Save Money on Your Phone Bill
With cell phones becoming increasingly popular, people are using their landlines less and less. If you find yourself using only your cell phone, you would be wise to cancel your land line and thereby save upwards of Php500-Php1,000 a month on phone expenses. And, once you're down to only a cell phone, you can save even more money by finding the cheapest plan that fits your needs. Myrateplan.com can help you decide which cell phone plan is the best value for you.
3. Keep Track of Your Spending
By recording exactly how you spend your money for one month, you'll be able to see where all your cash really goes. You may find, for example, that you're throwing away Php500 a week on fast food runs. By becoming aware of what you're actually spending, you may be able to cut back on needless expenses.
4. Save Spare Change
Instead of leaving it in your purse or wallet where you'll likely spend it, save spare change in a jar. A few cents here or there may not seem like much, but it really does add up. Saving just a peso a day in change equates to saving Php365 in a year!
5.Save Money on Bank Fees
Be sure to sign up with a bank that has free checking. You should never have to pay for your checking account. Also, by withdrawing money only from the ATM machine at your own bank, you'll rack up savings in ATM fees.
6. Use Cash, Not Credit
You're less likely to overspend if you're paying with cash instead of a credit card, because cash obligates you to immediately pay for what you're purchasing. When you're going to the grocery store, for example, you'll be less likely to spend Php200 extra on junk food that isn't on your list if you only have a Php2,000 bill to spend.
7. Use Direct Deposit
Have a portion of each paycheck automatically deposited into your savings account. If you never have access to that money, you can't spend it and likely won't even miss it.
8. Eat at Home
Cooking meals at home is far less expensive than eating out every night. For the same price that you'll spend on one night of dining out, you can buy enough food at the grocery to make up to a week's worth of dinners at home. That is not to say that you should eliminate all trips to the restaurant, but cutting out just one or two restaurant meals a week can save you hundreds of dollars a year.
9. Pay All Your Bills on Time, and Pay Credit Card Bills in Full
By paying for all your bills on time, you will eliminate late fees and save up to Php1,500 on each bill. And, if you must have a credit card, pay it off in full each month. Paying only the minimum balance each month costs much more over the long run, as you will pay high amounts of interest.
10. Look for Ways to Save on Income Taxes
You may be able to receive a tax cut that you're not aware of. Make sure you know of tax cuts relating to charity, children, education etc. so you're not paying more in income taxes than you need to be.
