According to USGC, the earthquake which struck at 10 am local time was measured as 5.7 (quite a big one) and not 4.1 (Pinoy measurement, not accurate)

Blame it on the koreans

The bars that up their EWR are those frequented by them as most koreans barfine at 2K regardless whether the actual price is 1200 / 1500 or 1800....... standard BF rate for koreans in FA is 2K.

Double whammy...... earthquake + volcano eruption

Although the volcano eruption is 300km south of manila...... the volcanic ash is being blown towards direction of AC

Hi all,

I'm from JB actually, planning to go Clark next week, regarding the peso issue, need advice from all the senior here: -

Better to change in S'pore or change in Angeles City?
Using Singapore dollar better or Malaysia Ringgit?

Thanks for the enlightenment.
