On Stonefish incident in Coron, Palawan

This has been an issue for days now, and I just can't ignore the fact that somehow the victim is at fault here. But nonetheless, our deepest sympathy for the family that was left behind.

Sharing this post/status by Jojo on Facebook.

First, my condolences to the bereaved family. It is just sad that things like this happen when we all just want to have fun.However, I can't help but comment on this issue. Siguro kasi nakaka relate ako bilang tour operator and bilang isang Palaweño.
All creatures have their own forms of defending themselves whenever they felt threatened. Kung tao nga, ang daming kasinungalingan ng masasabi kapag cornered na and its their form of defense mechanism. Kaya be vigilant sa paligid. If you know you love the sea and para kang nagkakahasang kapag nasa dagat ka na, please protect yourself as well. As a tour operator, we advise guests to rent/use booties, wear proper swimming attire, wear life vest and practice safety first. If naka booties ka, naka wetsuit ka, trust me, you'd have better chances. Bottomline: Bantol lang yan. Tao ka. You know better. I can say this coz last time, I have guest who, despite several warnings, continually fooled around with the stonefish. Boom! The mishap happened and we rushed him inmediately to the nearest hospital after giving necessary first aid. He sufferred excruciating pain but was discharged at once. So case to case basis talaga sia.
However, this is a wake up call also, not only to Palawan but to all Provinces who patronize water activities. Are we equipped? Does our guides can actually practice the trainings given to them? Do we have a fool proof system that we can utilize when such crisis arise?
To all, shit happens. But we can avoid shit from happening. I, as a tour operator, wish only the best experience for my guests but I can not fulfill it all because it is a two-way process. Guest must also cooperate and follow instructions given.
Lastly, as a traveler myself, I learned that when you commune with Nature, you must recognize that you have to abide with their unspoken rules. We have to educate ourselves as well of the do's and don'ts. We have to respect and protect Nature and it will give back to us a thousand fold.
Again, my prayers for the departed.

Health is wealth. By being physically fit, it can make a person look lean both inside and out. 

There is a lot a person can do such jogging or walking  in the morning, playing basketball or any other sport with friends but if a person wants to have muscles and look lean, the best thing to do will be to sign up and workout in a gym. 

Just like taking any medicine, one should first consult the doctor before undergoing any form of exercise.

Physical exercise is beneficial because it helps maintain and improve ones health from a variety of diseases and premature death.  It also makes a person feel happier and increases ones self esteem preventing one from falling into depression or anxiety. It has also shown to make a person with an active lifestyle live longer than a person who doesn’t.

The best exercise plan should have cardiovascular and weight training exercises. This helps burn calories and increase the muscle to fat ratio that will increase ones metabolism and make one either gain or lose weight. 

A person who has never worked out before should do it gradually. Doing it too much for the first time can make one pull a muscle or have an injury making it worse. Endurance will never be built in a day and doing it repeatedly will surely be good to the person.

Focusing on certain portion in the body can help make it improve. A good example is going to the gym and doing a workout more often in a specific area such as the abs can give one a chest pack. 

But beauty is not only about having muscles which is what people can see. It is also about enhancing the beauty within. 

Here are some things one can do everyday to stay beautiful and healthy; 

· Reading books and other reading material more often keeps the mind sharp just like working out keeps the body in shape.

· Work no matter what kind it is produces stress. One can reduce this by taking the time out to do something special like lying in a hot tub, shopping or watching a movie. Studies have shown it is reliever and helps one from looking haggardly.

· Pollution is something people cannot control given the size of the problem. When one goes out, it is best to put some form of protection such as beauty products that contain antioxidants that protect the skin from damage. There are also other beauty products available and choosing the right one with the help of a dermatologist can help the person.

· Another way to stay healthy is to give up some vices. Most people smoke and drink. Smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer and other diseases as well complications for women giving birth. Excessive drinking has also shown to do the same. 

· For people who don’t smoke, it is best to stay away from people who do since studies have shown that nonsmokers are also at risk of developing cancer due to secondary smoke inhalation.

· Lastly, it is best to always start the day with a positive outlook. Just as studies have shown that exercise makes a person feel happier, smiling produces the same effect. A smile can do a lot and it is contagious in a positive sense. It brightens the day of not only one but others as well.
