ORO, PLATA, MATA One should never end with ‘mata’. Oro, Plata, Mata There are guidelines, too, governing the number of steps in one’s stairs. Starting with the first landing, count the steps using the words oro (gold), plata (silver), and mata (death). The perfect last step should be oro. Ending up plata is not too bad either but, understandably, do not ever end up with mata. This ruling is strictly observed especially if it involves the first steps going into the house. If your home has a slight elevation, choose four steps but never three. This building belief is not limited to stairs alone. It also applies to walkways that are made of individual flagstones or the popular circular or square slabs of pebbled concrete or even an entire concrete walkway or ramp that is divided into sections by lines drawn onto the pavement itself, especially if they lead to the main entrance of the house. The Yakans of Mindanao, however, believe in odd numbering of steps. They also require an odd number of bedrooms. Chinese Filipinos, on the other hand, count their steps by fours.         Source

Sa Aking Paboritong Lungsod, Maynila. To my favorite city, Manila, I wish you all the best. Unfortunately with Mayor Lim’s sleeping Administration, all I can say is “Ugh”… Don’t get me wrong, you have what it takes to become a beautiful world city. In fact, you were made/planned to be one (Daniel Burnham, City Beautiful Plan of Manila). Rich history, few remaining artifacts/architectural gems from the previous times, a melting pot of cultures, and beautiful sunset. There’s still hope. If only treated right, minus all the dirty politics and selfish intentions, poverty, and lack of discipline, you can be the best city in Metro Manila, if not, at least be at par with your brother city Makati. I hope to see you in good shape in my lifetime. Happy Manila Day!
