Pawn Stars: A Blend of Culture and History

                
              Pawn Stars is a very informative reality show because you will learn a lot, not only about American history but also to the world history. This TV show airs on Channel 11 every Saturday at 9:15pm. The World Famous Gold & Silver pawnshop is located in Las Vegas, Nevada and it is owned by the Harrison family headed by Old Man, Rick and Big Hoss with the help of the funny guy named Chumlee.


                Many people are going to the pawnshop to sell their antique items such as gun, sword, appliances, clothes, and different memorabilia’s. Every item has an equivalent value of money from hundred up to thousand dollars. But there is also a time that the item has no value because it is just a fake or a reproduction.

                If you’re watching this show, you will admire the trading skills of the stars. You will learn how to deal with people in terms of pricing an antique, according to its historical value or base on the demand of the market. If they are not sure about the details of the item, they will ask the help of the expert. From there, they will know how much they could offer to the customer. Most of their customers are expecting to get a high amount of money after they heard the suggested price of the expert. But of course, it would become lessen when the stars begin to offer their own price. They are explaining that they need to earn from that item. They are not a collector, they emphasize that they are sellers. They could half the price or they will add a small amount of money if they are really interested to get the item.

                The pawnshop has a limitation in setting a price. So, it’s up to the costumer if they will grab or refuse the offer. Some of them would accept the offer because they don’t really need that item anymore or they really need the cash. But you would also laugh because some of them will only use the money to play it in the casino. Maybe this is just a natural because they are in Las Vegas, which known as the gambling capital of America.


                Aside from being an informative show, Pawnstar is also very entertaining. The stars are always teasing each other. You will laugh to Chamley because of being clumsy. In some episodes he broke some antique collections. There was also a time that they got an album of Bob Dylan and Rick ordered to Chamley to sign it up to Bob. Chamley found the singer, but he asked him to sign the album with his name. So, who’s the crazy collector who could buy the album of Bob Dylan with Chumlee’s name?

Anak, pinagtataga ang nanay dahil sa Social Amelioration Program

Marami ang di makakuha ng tulong ng DSWD o tinatawag na Social Amelioration Program dahil di sila kuwalipikado na makakuha. Umalma na maging ang nasa middle class, bakit di raw sila kasali gayung apektado rin sila. Ngunit di lahat nang nakakakuha ng SAP ay pinapalad. Katulad ng isang 59-anyos na nanay na napaslang nang sarili niyang anak dahil dito. Ayon sa ulat, nanghingi diumano ng pera na ang 34-anyos na anak sa nanay nito. Pero nang hindi ito napagbigyan ay pinagtataga niya ito. Nangyari ang krime sa Rosario, La Union. Sabi ng pulisya, may deprensya diumano ang lalaki at nakainom pa ng alak.

OFW na may sintomas ng Covid, gumaling sa asin?

Isang OFW na nakabase sa Amerika ang nagbahagi ng kanyang karanasan hinggil sa Covid na pinuproblema ngayon ng buong mundo. Ayon sa Fb live ni Boyet Castelo, asin daw ang kanyang ginamit nang makaramdam siya ng matinding pananakit ng lalamunan at ng ubo. Ikinuwento niya na nang mabalita sa Amerika na marami nang tinamaan ng Covid ay pumapasok pa rin siya ng trabaho bagama't kakaunti na lang sila. Pero nagpasya na rin siyang tumigil sa trabaho nang maalarma na siya. Nabalitaan niya na dalawa sa building na pinagtatrabahuan niya ang Covid positive. Hindi niya raw alam na may dala-dala na siyang virus. Nag-umpisa nang mangati ang kanyang lalamunan at ubuhin na ilan sa sintomas sa pagkakaroon ng Covid. Pero hindi niya ito pinapansin sa pag-aakalang pangkaraniwan lang ito. Maligamgam na tubig at salabat lang ang kanyang iniinom. Pero biglang niyang naaalala ang sinabi sa kanya ng kaibigan na laging magdala ng asin kahit saan man siya tumira. Kumuha siya ng isang baso at nila

Barangay workers sa Q.C., binawi ang relief goods matapos magpa-picture?

Ngayong panahon ng krisis marami ang dumadaing na hindi pa sila nakatatanggap ng ayuda mula sa gobyerno. Ang iba naman, nakatanggap nga pero kulang na kulang. Hindi nila alam kung paano pagkakasyahin sa buong pamilya ang natanggap na ayuda. Sa haba ba naman ng quarantine na 'di makapaghanapbuhay. Talagang gutom ang aabutin mo. Viral ngayon sa social media ang video na unang inupload ng kapatid ng netizen na si Alfredo Rodil mula sa Brgy. Pag-ibig sa Nayon, Quezon City. Kitang-kita sa CTTV na naglalagay ng relief goods sa mga upuan sa labas ng mga bahay-bahay. Pagkatapos magpakuha ng litrato ay bigla na lang binawi ang ayuda. Kaya gayun na lang ang kanilang pagkadismaya dahil sa inasal ng mga taga-barangay. Umani ng iba't ibang reaksyon ang naturang pangyayari. Anila'y parang nasa game show na may Laban o Bawi. Hindi raw ito makatarungan. Dapat silang matanggal sa trabaho ang mga ito. Pero may nagsabi naman na para namang scripted. Nagpa-picture lang daw para mayr
