Happy spring dear Timog Forum members and visitors! My apologies for this post being 2 weeks late (or maybe it is too cold where I live). We have changed our bright colors for our default Timog Forum theme. The sakura photo is by Kikoy Balayon in the Sakura... Sakura... thread. Thanks Kikoy!

"Buy and Sell" Section Announcement |
|
Posted by dcat on Apr 05, 2008 - 9:47 PM |
Timog Forum allows and encourages "Buy and Sell" activity mainly to help members help each other by giving them a medium where they could sell and buy goods between members. It helps the members because this gives members the opportunity to sell their goods that otherwise will not be used and be wasted. On the buyer's part, it gives them the opportunity to buy goods that are relatively cheaper than if they had to buy brand new ones at stores.
For security reasons - not that we are liable with what goes on at the Buy and Sell sections - we sometimes check on these threads especially when a member report points us to these threads. Lately though there have been so many threads at Buy and Sell forums that it's getting more and more difficult to check on all the threads.... [Read More]

From the Mainichi Daily News dated March 31, 2008
http://mdn.mainichi.jp/national/news...na025000c.html
NAGOYA -- A Filipino man plunged five stories from his friend's apartment here to his death Monday rather than be arrested for not having a valid visa, police said.
Franco Juan Paul, a 39-year-old Filipino national, jumped from the fifth floor balcony of his friend's Higashi-ku apartment as police officers waited outside in the belief he was picking up his passport.
Officers said they let Paul go into the apartment alone because they did not have a warrant to enter and he was cooperating with them voluntarily.
Hidenori Sekiya, deputy c... [Read More]

An 18 year old kid was arrested for pushing an innocent 38 year old guy who was on his way home after a long day at work. The kid said he will go to jail if he killed someone. He was actually carrying a knife if ever his initial plan didn't work. The accused was said to have been bullied ever since he was in Elementary School.

Visa Overstayers Granted Special Residency By Japanese Government |
|
Posted by aznhonor on Mar 26, 2008 - 4:30 PM |
The Justice Ministry has decided to grant special residence permission to a Kurdish man, his Filipino wife and their 7-year-old daughter, overturning its earlier decision to deport the couple for overstaying their visas.
The ministry’s move came after the Tokyo High Court suggested a settlement in the case in which the family’s request to nullify the ministry’s order to deport them had been turned down by the Tokyo District Court.
“After the high court proposed a settlement, we determined that this would be the best way to grant them special residence permission from a humanitarian perspective,” said Justice Minister Kunio Hatoyama during a press conference following a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
As early as Tuesday, special residence permission will be granted ... [Read More]

Bawal nang Mag-File Sharing sa Japan?! |
|
Posted by shuin0120 on Mar 16, 2008 - 10:29 AM |
The nation's four Internet provider organizations have agreed to forcibly cut the Internet connection of users found to repeatedly use Winny and other file-sharing programs to illegally copy gaming software and music, it was learned Friday.
The move aims to deal with the rise in illegal copying of music, gaming software and images that has resulted in huge infringements on the rights of copyright holders.
Resorting to cutting off the Internet connection of copyright violators has been considered before but never resorted to over fears the practice might involve violations of privacy rights and the freedom of use of telecomm... [Read More]
