However, a new and bigger church had already been built on the site of the previous one.<br /><br />The idea of consulting a feng shui expert came after the NAIA terminal 3 blackout, whose exact cause remains unknown. <br /><br />On April 2, the blackout at NAIA terminal 3 caused the cancellation of 82 local flights and delays in at least four international flights. At least 14,000 passengers were affected by the crippling power outage.<br /><br />Despite calls for resignation, Honrado attributed the incident to bad luck. According to him, the generators did not work well as expected. As a result, the lighting, elevator and escalator, conveyor, air-traffic control and other systems failed to run.<br /><br />Speaking to reporters, Liberal party(LP) standard bearer and former Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) chief Manuel “Mar” Roxas II has called for an unbiased and comprehensive investigation of the incident to determine its cause. He also wanted concerned officials to be “fired, punished and reprimanded”.<br /><br />LP secretary general Joseph Emilio Abaya is the current head of the DOTC.<br /><br /><b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

Eleven represents the number of years that Marites — the first Filipina feng shui master accredited to date by the International Feng Shui Association (IFSA) — has been sharing prosperity tips to avid feng shui followers.<br /><br /><b>1. Know the good and bad sectors for the year.</b> Each year, the so-called Flying Stars or energies fly into different directions bringing lucky and unlucky prospects wherever they have landed. It helps to determine those locations and to place the appropriate enhancers to boost good energies. It is just as important to install the recommended cures to deflect the negative ones.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEqch7moBDBGQXRf9mSsuy69eXZ6AgREq4vqc3hlb2AnPNTTCa0DvfShy3_TYHusgKEdHVXK-MBxZeAcCikCIiMT8tRt7xzFY3tg_Vs2blmrqhuUFJS_C7hAypmD_kRtSUAp4ydz_qcrI-/s1600/feng-shui-guide-2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="annual feng shui chart 2016" border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEqch7moBDBGQXRf9mSsuy69eXZ6AgREq4vqc3hlb2AnPNTTCa0DvfShy3_TYHusgKEdHVXK-MBxZeAcCikCIiMT8tRt7xzFY3tg_Vs2blmrqhuUFJS_C7hAypmD_kRtSUAp4ydz_qcrI-/s640/feng-shui-guide-2016.jpg" title="annual feng shui chart 2016" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Annual Feng Shui Chart 2016: Numbers 1, 6, 8, 9, and 4 represent the lucky sectors that must be activated with the proper enhancers.  Numbers 2, 5, 7, and 3 are the unlucky sectors that must be weakened by suggested cures.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><b>2. Understand the five feng shui elements. </b>Many are familiar with those five elements—Water, Wood, Earth, Metal, and Fire. A better understanding of how they relate with each other and knowing that each element represents specific sectors and colors may increase one’s chances of enjoying better feng shui.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1sMQz-3Ick5fXeBmEttE91zD5T6n_6fCCLL9jdto50hhsQSHNRc7exM83XqvkcKms7-vVRXlHwJx0pWRtOT7e3nVF7jZlACTXCH34wsraLr0T5fhzi-EUIcU9IbD-Pzv8i08EzmKJE_IE/s1600/feng-shui-guide-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="feng shui elements" border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1sMQz-3Ick5fXeBmEttE91zD5T6n_6fCCLL9jdto50hhsQSHNRc7exM83XqvkcKms7-vVRXlHwJx0pWRtOT7e3nVF7jZlACTXCH34wsraLr0T5fhzi-EUIcU9IbD-Pzv8i08EzmKJE_IE/s640/feng-shui-guide-2.jpg" title="feng shui elements" width="560" /></a></div><br /><br /><b>3.

Know your allies and friends.</b> Destiny is not always kind, and if you’re not blessed with positive energies on a specific year, you may “borrow” good luck from your astrological allies.

Equip yourself with handy feng shui references.</b> Make sure you have your 2016 Feng Shui Almanac and Feng Shui Planner to guide you in choosing lucky days and hours for important activities. Your personal horoscope book provides helpful indications in many aspects of your life, including wealth, career, romance, and health. It also has valuable suggestions every month on what enhancers to place in specific sectors of the home and recommended fashion wear to attract positive energies.<br /><br /><b>10. Have your destiny chart plotted.</b> This is the way to go if you want a truly personalized reading  based on your birth date and hour, which sets you apart from others who may be born under the same animal sign. It uses the Four Pillars Chart of destiny forecasting that includes all elements at play for you as a unique individual. Please call 0920-9509390   for personal consultations.<br /><br /><b>11. Be the reason others feel lucky.</b> This suggestion works all the time and never loses its charm. The universe keeps score and the things we do have a way of coming back to us in unexpected ways. Do good to others every chance you can, and let karma work wonders in your life.<br /><br /><b><i>- <a href="https://chitsblog.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chit A.
