Top 10 OFW Destination Countries

Why there are so many Filipinos leaving the country for work abroad?

I checked on the data, a rather old data from the POEA database,

and in 2012 alone, a total of 2,083,223 new hires at rehires are registered.

Some migrate with their families, some pursue their studies, but a big portion, numbering to 10 Million or more went abroad in almost, always singular reason...

better future.

THE RESULT OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S AUTOPSY, HE SHOULD HAVE DIED EARLIER

from dailymail.com.uk

Some of Shepherd’s surprise findings are:

Jackson was nearly bald

The report shows that Jackson’s hair was not his own. He was wearing a wig. There were just sparse areas of his own hair on the sides and back of his head. His head was badly scarred from a burn from pyrotechnics during a commercial shoot for Pepsi in 1984.

He had multiple plastic surgeries

The report shows that Jackson had a cleft inserted in his chin and multiple procedures on his nose. His eyebrows, eyelashes and even his lips were tattooed.

Jackson bleached his skin

Jackson’s skin was blotched with areas that had stopped producing dark pigment — consistent with a disease, vitiligo. He also had another disease that affected his skin, discoid lupus. He used Benoquin cream to bleach his skin.

His lungs were severely damaged

Jackson had osteoarthritis in some of his fingers and his spine. Both his lungs showed widespread inflammation and extensive scarring. This is possibly an effect of the discoid lupus (an autoimmune disease) but could also be attributed to Jackson’s use of the narcotic demerol.

Jackson was not underweight

The report says Jackson was 136lb and 5 ft 9 inches tall. Although he appeared slightly thin, he was not underweight and was in the acceptable range. His heart was in good condition.
