FAQ

Is MyLako only for Filipinos, especially Batangueños?

MyLako invites Batangueños to start with, but it's really meant to be a GLOBAL network of businesses within a social network framework.

Can I still join even if I have nothing to sell?

Yes. Whether you're here to sell or not, MyLako is still a social network.

About Ibaan

Ibaan, a 4th class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines, lies 110 kilometers south of Manila, bordered in the north by San Jose and Lipa City; east by Rosario and Taysan; south by Batangas City; and west by Batangas City and San Jose, Philippines. Land area: 98.95 square kilometers. Altitude: 300 feet above sea level. According to 2000 census, it has a population of 40,165 people in 7,825 households.

It is predominantly a Roman Catholic community, with minor percentage of Protestants and members of the Iglesia ni Cristo. Tagalog is the local dialect, however English is included in its educational curriculum and is often used in official dealings and transactions.

Temperature is moderate both in its rainy and dry seasons, conducive to farming, agricultural and livestock production which are the usual occupations of the people. There are less and less farmers each year because locals resort to hog raising for better income. Other sources of income are business and profession. (SOURCE)

Iba Tree

Local names: Bagbagutut (Ilk.); bangkiling (Bis., Tag.); iba (Tag., Pamp.); kagindi (Bis.); karamai (Ilk.); karmai (Ilk., Tag.); layoan (Bik.); poras (Bis.).

Iba is planted in most or all parts of the Philippines for its acid, edible fruit, but nowhere abundant. It is of prehistoric introduction. It occurs also in India to Malaya and Polynesia in common cultivation. It was introduced in tropical America.

This is a small, smooth, deciduous tree 4 to 9 meters in height. The branches are thickened, and bear nodules in the axils of the fallen leaves. The leaves are unequally pinnate, crowded at the ends of the branches, and 20 to 40 centimeters long. The leaflets are alternate, entire, oblong-ovate, and 2 to 7 centimeters long. The flowers are pink, small, and crowded in many flowered fascicles along the racemes. The male and female flowers are usually on separate plants. The fruit is fleshy, acid, edible, greenish white, rounded and 1 to 1.5 centimeters in diameter, and contain a hard, bony, 6- or 8-grooved, 3- or 4-celled stone, each cell with a single seed.

The unripe fruit is eaten cooked as a sour flavoring. It can be made into jams and jellies, and is also pickled.

According to Prinsen-Geerligs, the fruit contains: dextrose 0.33 per cent, levolose 1 per cent, and saccharose. Wehmer records the presence of 18 per cent tannin in the root-bark; saponin, gallic acid, and a crystalline substance, melting at 228°, similar to lupeol.

In the Philippines a decoction of the leaves is applied to urticaria, and the fruit, which is astringent, is given at the same time, to eat. According to Guerrero, the bark yields a decoction, which is employed in bronchial catarrh.

According to Kirtikar and Basu and Chopra, the fruit is acid and astringent. The root is an active purgative, and the seeds are also cathartic. Burkill and Haniff report that the roots are considered poisonous, but the Malays boil it, or heat it, and inhale the stem for coughs. Burkill quotes Van Dongen, who states that, in Java, an infusion from a very little bit of the root may be drunk for asthma. Burkill continues that the leaves are medicinal in Java and Borneo. In Borneo they are used, with pepper, for poulticing for lumbago, or sciatica, and the root may be used for treating psoriasis of the soles of the feet. Caius reports that the root and the seed are cathartic. The juice of root-bark is used as a poison, often for criminal purposes. It produces headaches, sleepiness, and deaths accompanied by severe abdominal pains. Nadkarni says that the decoction of the leaves is good diaphoretic. The leaves are mucilaginous and demulcent and are given in gonorrhoea. (SOURCE)

Doing the exact opposite

I bet you will agree that going to work is a tiring routine. It is tiring just to ask: how long will you do it? When is this going to end? In many places around the world, people have thought of ways to get out of the so-called rat race. As for myself, I wanted [...]

A prayer for those who need it

I can’t afford to let today pass without a new post, so I am sharing this beautiful prayer by Karen Petersen. Last Christmas, I put this in a frame and sent some copies to my associates. They really appreciated it, as expressed in this note from Maya Balba: “I’ve read the gift that you gave [...]

BusinessCard2: the first step to any online business relationship

The Japanese have a rather formal way of passing a business card or meishi, giving and receiving it with both hands, like something really special. Here are some reminders on how you should receive a meishi, and any business card for that matter: Take special care in handling cards that are given to you. Do not [...]

Beyond Friendships

Without mentioning the actual statistics, it is safe to assume that we make up the biggest population of Friendster users in the world. We are not yet dominating Facebook, but our numbers keep rising. Many interpret this as a sign of massive online awareness among Filipinos, but I’m thinking otherwise. Last year, I tried to secure [...]

These Truly Inspire Me

I missed blogging yesterday cause I was busy baking some brownies for a customer (surprise!). We also bake leche flan, macaroon and cassava cake. You cannot be less entrepreneurial in these tough times. Meanwhile, I wish to share some cherished quotations from emails, newsletters, and social media updates: “Anything will give up its secrets if you love [...]
