London Mayor Boris Johnson said, “A European Union ruling that overweight people can be classed as disabled is totally and utterly ridiculous and insults those with genuine disabilities”. It comes after Europe’s highest court has ruled obesity “can constitute a disability” for the purposes of European Union equality at work legislation. The judgment means British companies will be required to treat obese workers as “disabled”, providing them with larger seats, special parking spaces and other facilities. According to an extensive survey conducted by the US National Centre for Health Statistics, being a bit overweight is good but of course it all depends on one’s definition of overweight. Nigel Farage, the UK Independence Party leader, also criticised the ruling, saying: “It’s difficult to argue overweight people should be classed as disabled. There are occasions, but obesity in general isn’t a disability.” More and more Britons are publicly attacking the controversial EU decision.

Sa mga kababayan kong Pilipino sa BENELUX (Belgium, Netherlands at Luxembourg). Sino po sa inyo ang nakakakilala kay Ginoong FRANK SANTOS? Diumano’y isang broker at padalahan ng mga Balikbayan boxes ng ating mga kababayang OFWs patungong Pilipinas. Ang tanging impormasyong taglay ko po ay ang mga sumusunod: Siya ay tubong Mexico, Pampanga, may tahanan sa Las Pinas, Metro Manila at kasalukuyang narito sa Brussels, Belgium. Labinlimang beses ko po siyang tinawagan ngayong umaga sa ibinigay niyang numero na 0486756362 subalit di na po siya nagsasalita. (He picked up the phone but not talking). Bakit po? Magsalita ka Ginoong Santos. Sagutin mo ang mga katanungan ng ating mga kababayan.

Tulungan po ninyo akong hanapin ang taong ito!
