Netizens couldn’t hide their amazement after a father and son coincidentally won the jackpot prize for the MegaLotto 6/45 with the winning odds of 1 in 8,145,060.

In a Facebook post, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office shared that the winner during the February 27 draw was a father and his son who split the P11.6-M prize.

In an interview with News5, the father said that his son bet to the same combination he was taking care of.

“Meron akong pinuntahan sa may Plaza, tumaya ako ng 1pm tapos pagbalik ko sa sasakyan ko bandang 3pm, tumaya ulit ako ng parehong number. Paguwi ko sa bahay ibinigay ko sa kanya sabi ko tig-isa tayo kapag tumama hati tayo,” he narrated.

His son also explained that he the winning combination of 25-4-11-35-15-09 consisted of their ages and birthdays.

They’re thankful to PCSO for giving them a chance to become a millionaire.

According to the father, he couldn’t believe that he won the lotto until he received the cheque from PCSO.

“Salamat po sa PCSO, sa loob ng mahigit 30 years kong pagtaya ay ginawa nyo akong Milyonaryo tsaka naniniwala na ako ngayon na totoo pala na may nananalo ng jackpot, dati kasi may agam-agam ako pero heto na ako ngayon hawak ko na ang tseke na nagpapatunay na nanalo ako. Salamat sa ating Panginoon.” he said.

The son also addressed the speculations that they didn’t win the jackpot.

“Ako din mananaya din po ako ng lotto, siguro mga more than 5 years na pero sa totoo lang ako ay dudang-duda lalo na kapag lumalaki na ang jackpot. Iniisip ko po na kukunin lang ito ng mga pulitiko.” he said.

“Sorry for being frank, but the connotation is always like that kasi wala naman po akong kakilala na nanalo ng jackpot until such time na kami pala ni daddy ay mismong mabibiyayaan ng Diyos na manalo kaya panawagan ko po sa mga tao maniwala kayo sa lotto. Wala po itong daya at hindi po tayo niloloko ng PCSO kasi talagang may nananalo po ng jackpot at dalawa dun ay kami po ng Daddy ko,” he added.

Tape was set to hold a press conference on April 15 to clarify all the issues surrounding Eat Bulaga.

 

Rendon Labador ipinagmalaki ang kanyang restaurant: ‘Episode ang no. 1 sports bar sa Pilipinas!’

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador was confident enough about the popularity of his new restaurant Episode Bar + Kitchen despite having difficulties selling tickets during its opening on March 25.

In his speech two days before closing down the restaurant, Labador said that his restaurant was considered the number one in the whole country.

“Meron lang akong gustong i-announce sa lahat ng taong nandito ngayon, super excited kami na Episode Bar is now the number one sports bar restaurant in the Philippines,” Labador said.

“And also, first time sa history na nag number one ang restaurant bago palang kami makapag-operate,” he added.

He also thanked his business partners and investors for their support.

It can be recalled that Labador received negative publicity after criticizing actor Coco Martin and the production team of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.

After its grand opening, Labador decided to temporarily close his business and met with his staff to discuss their next move.

The influencer’s brother, Jormiel Labador also told the former to stop criticizing the netizens if he wanted the people to support his business.

Trending ‘Grilled Balut’ ligtas kainin kahit na mayroong nakalalason na Hydrogen Sulfide

The craze of the Filipinos about ‘Grilled Balut’ continued and many businesses decided to sell the said street food because of its continuous popularity.

But some netizens revealed that the said exotic street food was producing Hydrogen Sulfide, a highly toxic gas that may irritate the respiratory tract and other parts of the body.

The long-term impact of Hydrogen Sulfide may also cause headaches, reduced attention span, and motor functions.

However, the Philippine Association of Food Technologists said that people should not worry to the amount of Hydrogen Sulfide present in grilled balut.

“Although this post was meant to inform consumers about the associated health risk, it seems to be misleading. While the explained science in the post is true, the conclusion was taken out of context.” the group statement reads.

“The proteins of the egg whites contain sulfur that reacts with hydrogen during the heating of eggs, resulting in the formation of H2S. Although a known toxic gas, especially during exposure at moderate to high concentrations, H2S is released in such small amounts that it cannot pose any health risks. For additional context, the highest H2S concentration that can be produced by an egg is around 0.2 ppm which happens when the egg is already rotten. Meanwhile, the allowable exposure limit for H2S is 20 ppm and must reach a concentration of 100 ppm in order to cause dangerous effects on health and life.

“Additionally, as the heating prolongs, H2S goes inwards towards the egg yolk due to the decreased solubility of the egg white. This gas reacts with the iron subsequently released from the yolk during heating, forming iron sulfide. This dark-greenish tinge observed on the surface of the yolk due to overcooking may taste and appear unappealing, but it is not considered detrimental to human health.”

The post of the group already reached 5,300 shares as of writing.
