There’s more but these are what he chose to look real close. But we all known that San Miguel Beer is a long time-time product that was already familiar and be loved by the Filipinos.

The movie San Andreas paints a very unrealistic picture for what the “Big One” will actually look like. There will probably be no huge tsunamis or split-up cities but there will be many roads and power lines split up and a lot of blowback after all of the earthquakes because much of the minimum water supply will be gone. Scientists are working with everyone to prepare California for the “Big One.’ All in all, this earthquake could cause a whole lot of damage and even though we cannot yet predict it, hopefully Californians will be prepared.

...The Alamo The 300-year-old Mission San Antonio de Valero was the site of a pinnacle battle during the Texas Revolution in March of 1836. Here, 189 Texas defenders held off Mexican General Santa Anna's 4,000 soldiers for thirteen days. Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo) was established in 1718 as the city's first mission. On the east side of Alamo Plaza is the famous spot in Texas where 189 defenders fell on March 6, 1836, after repeated attacks by Mexican General Santa Anna's army which sealed it in lexicon of U.S. history. More than 2.5 million people a year visit the 4.2 acre complex known worldwide as "The Alamo."

...From: Alexandra Madzharyan Subject: Housing investments in San Francisco According to your request about housing investments in Bay area, San Francisco I have conducted a research and found interesting facts. Housing market in Bay area can be characterized as very dynamic. ”The increase in housing prices was caused by the strict government restrictions which started in the 1970's, affecting construction in coastal areas” (EBSCO HOST, January 21, 2008) The San Francisco Bay Area real estate market has been growing rapidly over the past six years. Ever since the recession in 2008, the population is growing each year and more people are starting families. However, the prices are also increasing rapidly. ”Every time the market crashes, the consensus becomes that real estate won’t recover for decades or even “in our lifetime.” But the economy mends, the population grows, people start families, inflation builds up over the years, and repressed demand of those who want to own their own homes builds up. In the early eighties, mid-nineties and in 2012, after about 4 years of a recessionary housing market, this repressed demand jumps back in (or “explodes” might be a good description) and prices start to rise again. It’s not unusual for a big surge in values to occur in the first couple years after a recovery begins, as has occurred recently.” (SFGate, October 1, 2013) This is the right time to decide to buy a house in the San Francisco Bay Area. The prices have been increasing over...

...In the early 1980’s the San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and A. Soriano corporation (ANSCOR) group of companies, under the leadership of Andres Soriano, Jr. Addressed a long felt need for an effective formal planning system for the two companies. According to Soriano, the companies had developed their budgeting and long-range planning systems several years earlier but, despite the many advantages these gave them, they still were not satisfied with their ability to respond to the rapid changes in the environment around them. They, therefore, searched for a process that would enable them to upgrade their planning ability. SMC and the ANSCOR group, thus, sought professional advice from a team of experts on strategic planning. The team was headed by Dr. Peter Lorange, then professor at the Wharton school and consultant on strategic planning to the two companies. Soriano expressed this great satisfaction with the approach to strategic planning developed by Dr. Lorange and his team. In November 1982, Dr. Lorange addressed a joint dinner – meeting of SMC and the ANSCOR group and shared his insights on the implementation of strategic planning of the two companies. Following are excerpts from an article prepared by Lorange based on his address during the meeting as well on as the major issues raised during the lively open - forum discussion.

...Through Mel Scotts’ work of the 1912 San Francisco movement the various plans to create a greater San Francisco proved surprisingly difficult. It consisted of San Francisco trying to obtain control of its own water front from the state by pointing out advantages that would add to the city by merging with the neighboring communities. Some of these were part of Alameda County which included Berkeley, Oakland and Piedmont that would become outer communities of San Francisco. It seemed like San Francisco was trying to function as the Manhattan of New york through its advances to merge with the outer communities. One of the reasons why San Francisco was anxious for the participation of other communities was the extensive cost involved in the Hetch...
