Chicharrón is a dish made of fried pork rinds. It is sometimes made from chicken, mutton, or beef.

Chicharrón is popular in Andalucia, Spain, and in Latin America and other countries with Spanish influence, it is part of the traditional cuisines of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (where it is called torresmo), Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and others. The singular form, chicharrón, is also used as a mass noun, especially in Filipino, where words do not have a pluralized form. They are usually made with different cuts of pork, but sometimes made with mutton, or with beef in Argentina. In Costa Rica, they are usually made from pork ribs or similar cuts; rinds are rarely used.

The pork rind type is the skin of the pork after it has been seasoned and deep fried. In Mexico, they are eaten in a taco or gordita with salsa verde. In Latin America, they are eaten alone as a snack, with cachapas, as a stuffing in arepas or Salvadoran pupusas, or as the meat portion of various stews and soups. --Wiki

A cilice was originally a garment or undergarment made of coarse cloth or animal hair (a hairshirt) used in some religious traditions to induce some degree of discomfort or pain as a sign of repentance and atonement. In more modern religious circles, the word has come to simply mean any device worn for the same purposes. --Wiki

CEBU, Philippines - Usa ka American national kinsa giingong kanhi sakop sa US Marine gipriso sa kapolisan human kini manghasi sa barangay kapitan sa San Roque, dakbayan sa Talisay sa miaging Huwebes sa hapon.

Ang suspetsado mao si Steven Scott, 46, minyo ug temporaryong nagpuyo sa maong dapit. Sumala sa kapolisan nga si Scott kinsa hubog kaayo sa maong higayon miadto sa balay ni Kapitan Antonio Cabrera ug nagsinggit-singgit og bastos.

Busa gibadlong kini ni Cabrera , apan imbis mokalma nanghagad na hinuon og sinumbagay ug nanghulga pa sa pamilya sa kapitan nga nagkanayon “I will kill you”.

Gawas kang Cabrera ug sa pamilya niini gihulga usab sa maong Amerikano ang mga kagawad sa barangay nga sila si Rafael Chan Jr. ug Ernesto Reyes lakip sa mga tanod nga sila si Samuel Batican, Placia Daan Jr., ug Matias Antifuesto.

Sa imbestigasyon sa mga polis si Scott kinsa giingong hubog kaayo, isog kining miadto sa balay sa kapitan ug nagsinggit-singgit ug dili maayong mga pulong.

Si Cabrera mipasangil nga puwerting isoga sa maong langyaw kay ultimong tugaok sa manok mohiwasa kini sa kasuko. Mga kasong gisang-at batok ni Scott mao ang direct assault, pagbinastos ug pagpanghulga. Nagkagulkol siya karon sa prisohan sa Talisay.

CEBU, Philippines - Usa ka ginang nga manumoray og udlot sa lukay nga himuonong puso ang gipusil sa iyang ‘kabit’ nga biyudo kinsa nag-unay sad og pusil sa iyang kaugalingon kagahapon sa alas-12:45 sa kaadlawon diha sa eskina sa dalan Tupas ug Tres de Abril St., sa barangay Pahina San Nicolas sa dakbayan sa Sugbu.

Pangabubho ang hinungdan nga gipusil ang biktimang si Marlyn Calago,39, taga barangay Pawa sa lungsod sa Dumanjug sa suspek nga si Roberto Gingoyon, 57, taga barangay Kang-Actol sa samang lungsod kinsa nag-unay sad og pusil sa iyang ulo ug namatay sad. Matud pa nga nagduda ang suspek nga may laing gikabuangan ang biktima sa kasikbit nga barangay sa ilang lungsod.

Nakuha sa mga imbestigador ang .45 nga kalibre sa armas, magazine nga may lima ka buhing bala, walo ka basiyo sa maong bala, usa ka slug sa wala pa matinong kalibre sa armas, laing magazine ug usa ka one whole yellow pad ang nakuha sa bulsa sa suspek nga gisuwatan sa iyang suicide note.

Si Calago nakaangkon og daghang samad sa iyang kalawasan, bukton lakip sa walang kilid nga gituohan sa kapulisan nga maoy gikamatyan niini. Samtang si Gingoyon nagpusil sa luyong bahin sa iyang ulo ug milapos ang bala sa iyang alimpos.

Sa pasiunang imbestigasyon nila ni SPO4 Alex Dacua, PO2 Leroy Baguio ug PO1 Esmer Escultor sa Homicide Section sa Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), usa ka Renalda Allanic, 30, nga silingan sa biktima mibutyag sa kapolisan pagkahuman og diskarga sa biktima sa mga lukay miabot ang suspek nga hubog dayong ingon “Peste kang bayhana ka pwerte na nimong lataa!”

Pagkahuman niini mibunot ang suspek sa iyang dalang armas ug nagpasalba hinungdan sa pagdinaganay sa mga tawo ug gisundan dayon og nagsunod nga buto. Dihang ilang gisusi naglimbuwad na ang duha sa dalan.

Si PO2 Baguio nga nahinabi sa Banat News nagkanayon nga subay sa nakasaksi sa hitabo nga human mahurot sa suspek nga usa ka magazine sa pagpasalba ug pagpusil sa biktima nag-ilis kini og laing magazine ug gipusil ang iyang ulo. Ang unod sa suicide note, matud ni Baguio nga gisuwat sa suspek nangayo nang daan og pasaylo sa iyang mga anak, ug mga kabanay sa nahimo niyang mga sala.

Matud ni Baguio nga mianha sa ilang buhatan kagahapon sa buntag ang duha ka anak babaye sa suspek ug mitug-an kanila ang usa nga nakakita kini pagsuwat sa ilang amahan sa maong yellow pad nga papel niadtong nangaging mga adlaw apan wala kini magtuong suicide note na diay kadto.(/EIM)  (BANATNEWS)

MANILA, Philippines - The body found in a suitcase at a parking lot of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Wednesday has been identified as that of a Tausug woman, police said yesterday.

Chief Inspector Joey Goforth of Pasay City’s Criminal Investigation Division told The STAR that the body was identified by a relative as Nids Bahjin Juwadi, 23, of Patikul town in Sulu.

“We are still conducting follow-up operations,” he said.

A security guard found the luggage at around 7:50 a.m. The victim was clad in a yellow blouse and black jeans.

Scene of the Crime Operatives said the victim bore contusions in the face and appeared to have been strangled to death.

Investigators are following up reports that the victim was an overseas worker who arrived at the NAIA Tuesday afternoon.

Brinster, who owned a bookstore in New York City, relocated to Waiheke Island, off Auckland to be with her New Zealander partner.

She also admires the Zealanders’ “pitch-in-and-help mentality” as well as the navigable government and health care systems.

The United Arab Emirates was rated as the least friendly country for expatriates, while countries that are most challenging for expats were Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia and India.

India was ranked in the last place for the second year in a row. Survey respondent Pia Mollback-Verbic, originally from Denmark, was quoted as saying that India “is simply a minefield of relentless mental, emotional and practical daily challenges for most non-Indians.”

#47393
Bermuda, which ranked highly last year, was not included in the list this year because it had too few respondents.

Countries were rated in four categories: ability to befriend locals, success in learning the local language, capacity for integrating themselves into the community, and ease in which they fit into the new culture.

These factors, according to New York-based coach for expatriates Heather Markel, are “among the biggest challenges when relocating.”

On top of the survey is New Zealand, Australia and South Africa where it is “easiest to befriend locals, learn local language, integrate into the community and fit into the new culture.”

New Zealand scored highly in all four categories. Seventy-five percent of the respondents reported that they integrated well into the local community. In this criteria, Australia scored 77 percent while South Africa scored 79 percent.

New Zealand natives “seem like happy people, and that translates into friendly, helpful and kind people,” American expatriate Kim Brinster was quoted in the survey.

#47394
Expatriates perceive the Philippines as a country that “is friendly on wallets,” with 47 percent of the respondents reporting “an increase in access to luxuries” such as domestic staff, swimming pools, and owning properties. 

In the survey, the Philippines trails behind United Kingdom where expatriates find integration into the community to be relatively easy, though expressing concerns on the high cost of living.

The Philippines ranks ahead of Spain where expatriates “fit in well,” many of them reporting to have integrated well into their community, enjoyed the local culture, made friends, learned and used the language, and have experienced a better work-life balance than in their home countries (which included the UK, US, France, and the Netherlands.)

HSBC surveyed 3,385 expatriates in 100 countries but only 31 were ranked for the survey. This is because countries with fewer than 30 respondents were deemed statistically insignificant.
