I just noticed that most of my visitors are coming from Australia. They are redirected here from Google using the search terms “Gigi Grande“.
You have a lot of admirers 
I have never thought that someone would actually try to send fresh fruits, vegetables and steak to their Filipino relatives using balikbayan boxes.
Lolita Iganda, who was described by Gigi Grande as veteran when it comes to sending boxes to the Philippines, was quoted saying:
“When I went back home before I saw that the garlic in Baguio was so expensive so when I came back I bought 5 kilos of garlic and put it in my box. When it reached my parents they complained. Nabulok and it affected everything in the box”
Oh well! Read the other tips in “Pinay shares tips on sending gifts, packages for Christmas“
Thanks, Gigi Grande for the reminders.

I found out that Gigi Grande has written three articles all relating to the status and standing of the Philippine Ambassadors to Australia. Here are the recap:

So, my message to the future ambassadors to Australia, watch out for Gigi Grande!
Ms. Gigi Grande, very good job!
Dear ABS-CBN and Gigi Grande,
Please change the title of this article: Labor attaché may be recalled due to ‘unpaid obligations’, ‘deceit’.
In the report Grande said:
AUSTRALIA – The Philippine Embassy in Australia has recommended the immediate removal of Labor Attaché Victor Julio Ablan from office. Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Franklin Ebdalin said the recommendation was made in early October due to Ablan’s alleged “unpaid obligations” and “deceit”.
Would it be better to remove the weasel words “may be” from the title and change it to “Immediate Removal of Labor Attache Recommended” or something to that effect, without the “may be” …
I could be wrong.
Again,
Its Me.
