When you go to the grocery store, do you look for a breakfast cereal, fruit drink, or soap powder with a famous name? If so, you probably pay more than you would if you bought another household product.
Name brands -- products with well-known names are sold across the country. As a result, name brands are usually more costly than regional products, which are sold in a limited area. Producers of national brands know the value of package design and spend money to give the product appeal. Television, radio, and magazine advertisements add to the price of the product. So do the recipe ideas and premium offers that often accompany food products.
A cheaper alternative is the house brand offered by supermarket. House brands are specially made for the chain in enormous quantities. Savings is promotional and package costs are passed on to the costumer.

Open up your minds & think twice: RH Bill is definitely pro-life (Paragraph Writing)
I believe that the RH Bill is the Filipino people’s best ticket to a decent and respectful life each person supposedly deserves to experience for the rest of their existence. That being said, I highly recommend the RH Bill be passed and approved.
Contrary to widely popular but technically implausible allegations that the RH Bill supports abortion, RH Bill actually discourages any means that can cause abortion as indicated in Section 3 letter M of the proposal. Under this premise, a doctor can only perform abortive measures if and only the pregnancy is already risking the health and safety of the mother, and/ or the child. Thus, the government confidently claims that the RH Bill does not kill—it promotes and protects life, safe for both the mother and the child.
Contrary again to widely popular but impractical and unrealistic allegations that the RH Bill props up pre-marital sex and disobeys the law of chastity, the RH Bill actually offers the needed protection to both the man and the woman who engages in sex, and not unforeseen danger, as claimed by a lot. Media, with no doubt, promotes pre-marital sex, so should we therefore ban unmarried from watching the TV? In an ideal world, being chaste is the solution to prevent a lost virginity and unexpected pregnancy. But then again, let’s face it—we live in a world far from the ideal. As real as the fact that there are murderers despite God’s law Thou shall not kill, pre-marital sex is prevalent in our generation. The problem is already here. The act of being chaste needs a materialized help in order to lessen the problems brought about by unexpected pregnancies, the help which goes by the names contraceptive and sex education. Let us not coward and be ashamed to face the problem. Thus, RH Bill does not endorse pre-marital sex—it solves the problems brought about by pre-marital sex.
Last but not the very least, to those who are saying that the promoters of RH Bill are against God, think again. How can a bill which promotes responsible parenthood and decent lives be against God? As a final word, the government would like to point out—the RH Bill is God’s manifestation here on Earth. The RH Bill is definitely pro-life.

Verbless novel
For us, an essay or a sentence without verbs would be like the Lewis structure on the picture below -- incomplete. Can you imagine writing an essay without using verbs?
Well, here's an amazing thing:
While browsing on the "Most ignored fact", I found something interesting. A french author Michel Thaler wrote a book with 233 pages without using any verbs on it. He said that, "The verb is like a weed in a field of flowers ... You have to get rid of it to allow the flowers to grow and flourish."
Fascinating, isn't it?
