<span style="font-family: inherit;">It may not be happening here but in Syria the horror portrayed in their latest video is all too real. Three years of civil war has devastated the live of an entire generation of children. It's cost the lives of more than 11,000 children and turned more than 1 million into refugees. It has subjected them to trauma, indiscriminate shelling and even torture. <span style="line-height: normal;"> - </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; line-height: normal;"><a href="http://savethechildren.org.uk/">SaveTheChildren.org.uk</a></span></span></div>

Burot Beach - Calatagan Batangas

<p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are planning to go to a beach this summer and like a little bit of challenge, Burot Beach is the place for you. Known as Elizalde Beach before, but was recently bought by SMDC.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ZVEX0jlfWS3N-blIl2Nnb3Te6leyblU00oH6bx1-IxX24oz_SVXDvLpRUBq4odwvvEhap8iokpPHx9h8IqO_4Clxhnh2wt2lb8W0nE5MJfw2Rl1MZsyyMNHuOtnPB5O9lgyFqI2mM9Bu/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ZVEX0jlfWS3N-blIl2Nnb3Te6leyblU00oH6bx1-IxX24oz_SVXDvLpRUBq4odwvvEhap8iokpPHx9h8IqO_4Clxhnh2wt2lb8W0nE5MJfw2Rl1MZsyyMNHuOtnPB5O9lgyFqI2mM9Bu/s1600/4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why a little bit of challenge? If you are into beach camping this is the right place. Quiet and not so crowded.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Burot Beach is not yet developed and still unknown to many, you cannot find hotels or any accommodation here so bring your tents. There is a store that you can rent tents and buy other supplies but expect a higher price, it is better to bring all the things you need. The place still don't have electricity, so don't forget bring flashlights. There are also no restaurants or fast food here, you can bring gas stove or set up a bonfire to cook your foods, it is easy to find dried leaves and twigs in the area. and don't forget to bring drinking water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
The comfort rooms is a challenged too, they don't have enough personnel to maintain the cleanliness of that place, I can only see few caretakers there, I hope this year get better<span style="text-align: center;">. This is the only thing I didn't like in Burot, but I love the most of it.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a lot of outdoor activities here like boat riding, island hopping and snorkeling, the sand is not so white compared to Boracay but mix of white and brown sands, the place is so peaceful and the sea is so clear and blue.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We rented a jeep in our way to Burot, but if you are planning to commute, you can ride a bus going to Calatagan </span> in BSC Bus Station in Pasay<span style="font-family: inherit;"> which cost P290. The last stop is at Calatagan Terminal, from there you can ride a tricycle going to the beach. Most of the tricycle will charge you from P60 - P80 pesos per head, the place is not yet developed so expect a bumpy and dusty ride. There is an entrance fee of P120 for an overnight stay.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The place is a paradise, the beach is still accessible for everyone. If you are planning to go here make it soon before the SM develop the place and spend more just to experience the beauty of the beach.</span> </div>

Some people had an answer that this was a "gimmick" by John Prats, whose in a relationship with Isabel Oli as of this time. Isabel Oli's real name was Olivia Daytia and the date 21414 is John Prat's birthday, therefore bringing a conclusion that John Prats proposes to Isabel Oli on the mentioned date of  February 14, 2014.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, John Prats had answered that he is not the one behind the billboards supporting it with a word that if he will propose to Isabel, she is the one to know first. Also, on Isabel Oli's side, she said that John Prats is a private person and added that she will announce it publicly if they got engaged.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now who is this Olivia and what is the mystery behind the billboards? Is this a gimmick to promote a feminine product? or a gimmick of a random Filipino guy proposing to his love named Olivia?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only nearest answer to the question of "who is Olivia and who is proposing to her", though has no brief confirmation, is about a fictional character Olivia Pope and her would-be fiance, Fitzgerald Grant. Both people are fictional characters of the TV show Scandal, which will air on February 27. Scandal tells of the story of Pope, a crisis manager of the consulting firm Olivia Pope and Associates whose clients are high profile politicians including the President of the United States Fitzgerald Grant III. The theorized answer to the mystery behind the billboards was from Bella Padilla's tweet about the new TV show.<br />
<br />
Few days after Valentines Day, another related billboard to the "Olivia, will you marry me?" billboards had spawned and it gave the confirmed answer to the mystery and it is confirmed now that it is an advertisement of one of condominiums of Empire East Land Holdings Inc., Pioneer Woodlands, which is located in Mandaluyong. The image below is a photo of the latest billboard shot by of one of Rappler.com's writers.<br />

The latest billboard says "Olivia said YES! So we bought our first investment together at Pioneer Woodlands Mandaluyong City". Addition to the billboard is the 21414 numbers is actually the weekly price of a unit on the condominium. "For as low as P2141.4/week", as printed on the new billboard.<br />
<br />
The mystery behind the billboard is now solved, and the advertisement campaign actually had sparked the curiosity of Filipinos and thereby, created a conclusion to the Empire East Land Holdings Inc. marketing strategy, a genius one. So the theory behind John Prat's proposal to Isabel Oli, and the TV show Scandal, being related to the billboards is not the answer behind the infamous billboards.</div></p>
