Last night found me outside my house, sitting in a lounge chair in my balcony, sipping margaritas with my harem of hot and willing women in bikinis ["But Ade, you don't have a balcony in real life, much less-" "Shut up journalistic integrity, I'm trying to write something truthful here, damn you"] waiting for a single meteorite from the Leonid Meteor Shower to show up. You see, in my smog-riddled part of the metro, looking up will not only ensure bird poop landing straight in your eyes what can I say, the birds here are assholes but it gives you nothing.Absolutely nothing.
Which kinda sucked, because it took me time to bring out this lounge chair and pay these women to stand in my imaginary balcony. But sitting here will yield me nothing, except bird shit in my left eye. Maybe I need a pair of binoculars.

So I was going to sit down and write another installment of Down the Highway, but this stupid headache won’t let me. It’s like two rock creatures were fucking with abandon in my head.Okay, maybe that analogy may be a little too much. I guess the story of my migraine started off with a pebble. Let’s call the pebble Frank. So Frank was sitting on the ground one sunny morning. It was just there, minding his own business, being cute and pebble-like. Well that was until this truck rolled in and crushed the stupid pebble.

Watch the video of Floyd Mayweather talking about Manny Pacquiao. So are we going to see a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

Watch at http://palaisip.blogspot.com

Here are some photos of Pacquiao vs Cotto.

See them at http://palaisip.blogspot.com

I’m sure by now you’ve all seen the fight between Pacquiao and Cotto. It was an amazing fight and this is the first time I’ve actually seen a fight from start to finish for Pacquiao.

I thought the first round was kind of iffy for Pacquiao where he was hit by Cotto a lot. At the end of the fight though, Pacquiao said he purposely let Cotto hit him to test how hard he punches. Pacquiao is one crazy guy.

For the past few months, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Citizenship and Immigration Services (“CIS”) has conducted an investigation program aimed at visiting H-1B petitioner worksites throughout the U.S. These site visits began as part of the CIS’ goal to decrease the number of H-1B violations and instances of fraud reported by the H-1B Benefit Fraud & Compliance Assessment from CIS’ Office of Fraud Detection and National Security (“FDNS”), published this past September. According to the FDNS’ findings, as many as one in five H-1B applications were affected by either fraud or “technical violations” of the H-1B program.
Why should employers care? Any employer who sponsored a foreign national worker for an H-1B visa can be subject to an unannounced site visit. What this means is that an investigator can randomly show up at a worksite and demand to see a copy of the H-1B petition, interview the person who represented the company in connection with the H-1B as well as the H-1B employee or other employees presently on site. Any inconsistencies found can mean big trouble for employers.
FDNS has indicated that it does not need a subpoena in order to complete the site visit because USCIS regulations governing the filing of immigration petitions allow the government to take testimony and conduct broad investigations relating to the petitions. However other sources say that employers are not required to give in to the investigators’ demands without a subpoena. What to do? Our office recommends that you always comply as much as possible with any investigative agency that shows up at your door. CIS has indicated that attorneys can be present during an inspection, but the investigator is not likely going to come back another day if the attorney is not available on the day of the unscheduled visit. Attorneys may be present via telephone in these circumstances.
Some common questions that have been raised by employers include: “how are companies selected to be investigated,” “if I am visited, should I be concerned,” “what type of violations are the investigators looking for,” and “how can I prepare for a site visit from a CIS/FDNS investigator?”
To address these issues in order, firstly any employer who has filed an H-1B petition can be subject to a site visit. While CIS claims the employers are chosen at random, close to 40,000 employers’ names have been selected for site visits. Some factors that may have been taken into consideration when selecting these 40,000 employers include: companies with less than 15 employees; companies with less than $10 million in sales; companies less than 10 years old; accounting, HR, business analyst, sales and advertising positions; and petitions where the beneficiary merely had a bachelor’s degree, not an advanced degree.
If your company is visited and your records are in order, you have nothing to worry about. Generally speaking employers are aware of inconsistencies before any investigative agency may catch wind of it. That being said, if the investigators uncover any inconsistencies or instances of fraud, the case may be referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or the Department of Labor (DOL) for further investigation depending on the offense. This could mean there will be monetary, and if egregious offenses, possible criminal penalties for the employer.
The objective of the unannounced on-site visits is clear: to detect fraud and abuses of the visa program. According to USCIS, the offenses range from technical violations to outright fraud, with the most common violation being the non- payment of a prevailing wage to the H-1B beneficiary. More specifically, the investigators may be looking for the following types of violations: job location not listed on the H-1B petition and/or LCA; H-1B worker not receiving the required wage; fraudulent H-1B documents or H-1B worker credentials; non-existent business or office location; job duties significantly different from those listed on H-1B petition/LCA; misrepresentation of H-1B status by the H-1B worker (e.g., had been terminated from previous H-1B position prior to new employer H-1B being filed); and H-1B worker paid the $1500 ACWIA fee.
How can you prepare yourself and your company for a possible site visit? Step one is to ensure that you have Public Access Files (PAF) for each H-1B worker, and that the PAF documents are accurate and up to date. In general, it is a good idea to review and audit your H-1B/LCA records to make sure everything is in order and all information is readily available. Designate a specific individual at each H-1B worker location to meet the investigator should he/she arrive. Prepare a quick list of facts about the company and also a listing of H-1B workers, work locations, title and salary information so you don’t need to search frantically for this information while the investigator is there. If you are not sure what a PAF is, or if you’d like to have your documents reviewed by legal counsel, you may contact our office at the number or e-mail below.

from Iliac Diaz:

“Its time to MOVE on climate change and go beyond PETITIONS. We need to move to 90% local on the ground actions, 10% campaign ad registrations. Addressing climate change requires a mix of mitigation and adaptation. This requires a separation of urgency for more mitigation for industrialized countries and more adaptation for developing countries. The Philippines will not be a significant carbon emitter by a long shot, but as a country we are the top five in the world when it comes to property and human lives lost because we don’t have a plan “b” for when the impact of climate changes HIT us. The day ONDOY (Ketsana) put 80% of the capital city of Manila underwater must not be forgotten and marks the day where climate change became very real for all of us. Song by Boogie Romero and Musical Direction by Mark Laccay. VIDEO direction by Henry Posadas. Thanks to Sony Corp Philippines for initiating the sponsorship of the project (eqpt and studio time) and the support of all the other record labels for the artists. This is only possible through the 47 United Filipino Artists that came to support the cause of awareness of climate adaptation for a country hit by constant typhoons. Please spread the word.”

I vaguely remember that when I was small I believed in Santa Claus. Then the memory disappears and is replaced by the reality that there is none. And then I got amused at all my friends who still did. My parents did not even teach us about Santa Claus except tell us the story about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. They never made us write notes about our wish list and leave cookies and milk by the Christmas tree.

Will you watch the movie 2012? The Mayan calendar, it is said, predicts the end of the world in 2012. And the world is going to end with a bang. The Scriptures seem to paint the end of the world in the same way. Or does it? (33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time B)

First, some of us survived being born to mothers who did not have an OB-Gyne and drank San Miguel Beer while they carried us.

While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, a te isaw, and didn’t worry about diabetes.

Then after all that trauma, our baby cribs were made of hard wood covered with lead-based paints, pati na yung walker natin, matigas na kahoy din at wala pang gulong.

Back when I was a kid, hearing Christmas songs weeks before Christmas gave me a feeling of excitement and wonder. Heck it made me think of peace and goodwill and everything Christmassy. Also it means getting a shitload of gifts and I’d probably get the Ecto-1 I’ve always dreamed of. So I used to run around singing all the carols I hear, slowly driving everyone around me to madness because of my slightly ok, not slightly… it’s more like majorly off-tune singing screeching.Ah, how times have changed.
