This is to inform everybody that applicants for USA as housekeepers mostly do not have sufficient work experience and their certificate of employment are mostly faked. they only used this as a scapegoat to enter US and leave their employers to work for another jobs. their respective recruitment agencies are also encouraging them to have faked documents and the stupid consuls approved mostly the faked applicants instead of the more qualified a lot of maybe its time for US embassy to please invistigate this practice. they should ask the applicant a copy of SSS records from the SSS and not from their company represents because some hotels sell also their certificate of employment with the connivance of applicants.

Did Mark Twain really issue a death sentence to the adjective?
June 1, 2009
Dear Fellow Communicators in English,
Did Mark Twain really issue a death sentence to the adjective? Did George Orwell’s masterpiece, 1984, spell the death of him? How did a pickle bottle get Jose Carillo into the English business? And what’s this new political movement that wants the Philippines to have an “education president”?
You’ll find the answers to all of these questions—and to many more questions about English that perhaps you were too embarrassed or too busy to ask—when you drop by at Jose Carillo’s English Forum today.
