New peso bills errors explained

Critics found the new peso bills misleading, they saw some errors that might confused the people.

They point out that in the 500 peso bill the beak of the blue-naped parrot should be red not yellow and its tail should be yellow and not green. The wrong location of the Saint Paul subterranean river in Palawan and the Tubbataha Reefs National Park is also another issue that BSP has to explain.

BSP official explained that there is no mistake regarding the color and the location. They cannot follow the real color of an actual blue-naped parrot because the colors used in printing monetary bills is limited not like in commercial printing like brochures, magazines etc.The problem about the location is that they cannot put the whole map in the limited space.

The main goal of the new peso bills is to add new security features and to avoid fake bills to circulate

Two original members of Paramore says goodbye

In the official site of Paramore they posted "Over the past 6 years, our band has been through some of the most intense and incredible experiences of our lives. None of these things have been without trial. We've worked so hard to get to where we are and the fact that you are all still here with us says something about you that we will never be able to truly understand. You have stuck with us through thick and thin and we are so grateful. A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday. None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore. We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn't here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere. But we never for a second thought about leaving any of this behind. We really hope that you can be encouraged by the fact that the three of us who are still here are ready to take on another chapter of our journey together. You have always been what keeps us going so why would we stop now? We want to stick by you. Knowing that we have a unified passion and a clear vision makes us feel stronger than ever."

Also included in the statement that the 3 remaining original members are sticking in the band and will continue to do beautiful music for their fans. They also clear some issues about the breaking up "The "blog" that was posted regarding everything that is going on with our band was a fake. We aren't sure who did it or why... And we aren't sure how they timed it this way. This is the first time that we have spoken out about what's going on and we wouldn't have released an official statement that important through a personal blog. So, we're sorry for any confusion and just to remain clear, this is the first time we have spoken out about this".

Dont' ask don't tell repealed

Since 1993 gays in the military have to keep their lives and their sexual orientation in private and now that 'don't ask don't tell policy" had been repealed they can now serve their country beyond who they are.

John McCain a vocal activist against gays and lesbian in the military said that it is a "sad day" and  it will cause a damage to the military.

The news must send out to the military troops in the field immediately.  

The fight is not about sexuality it is about equality and love to serve their country.
