Chances are you already have enough equity in your home to pay for renovations. But before you increase your debt, consider whether it’s good debt or bad debt. While bad debt is used to make a purchase that depreciates, good debt is used to make an investment that rises in value. In the case of renovations, bad debt would fund improvements that have no value to future buyers. Whereas good debt would add convenience and pleasure today, while increasing your home’s value tomorrow. By opting for good debt, the interest you pay on your equity loan can be more than covered by the increase in resale value. Improvements to kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor living space offer the highest return on investment. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

 In general, the more recent the improvement, the higher the return on investment.  The most appealing kitchens have an open plan with island, and an efficient triangle between the refrigerator, stove and sink.  Adding a deck increases the apparent floor space of your home. Make outdoor and indoor space blend seamlessly by using French doors and indoor-style light fixtures and furnishings.

By renovating strategically, your improvements can pay for themselves, plus create a healthy profit!

Toronto Knights of to Present Tableau

The Knights of Rizal Toronto Chapter will present a Historical and Cultural Tableau on the Birth of the Filipino Nation. The tableau will be shown at the 519 Community Centre located at 519 Church Street, Toronto, Ontario on April 27, 2013. Registration starts at 6:30 P.M.

Concept for the tableau is by Sir Manny Bade, KCR who is also the director. Executive Producer is Sir John de los Santos, KCR. Sir Joe Luzadas, KGOR is the historical consultant. Sir Mario Alpuerto, KCR is the chapter commander of Toronto. Ticket control is by Sir Ben Ferrer, KCR and ticket distribution is handled by Sir Frank Crawford, KCR. Narration is to be done by Sir Voltaire de Leon of the Rizal Soci- ety of Ontario. Special participation is to be provided by the United Aklanon Association of Toronto, liaison Mrs. Tisza Maravilla. The Culture Philippines of Ontario will provide the cultural dances.

The tableau will encompass the history of the Philippines that started with the arrival of the 10 Bornean Datus in Panay. It reenacts the struggles of the Filipino People to find their identity and free them- selves from the tyranny of foreign conquerors, the first battle led by Lapulapu who successfully defended his realm by killing Magellan, the first circumnavigator of the world. What followed are small re- volts that culminated in the revolution led by Andres Bonifacio trig- gered by the martyrdom of Dr. Jose Rizal. The tableau will end with the proclamation of independence by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in Kawit which heralded the birth of the Filipino Nation.

The tableau is sponsored by the Silayan Community Centre headed by Ms. Nora Dabu Taculad and funded by the New Horizons for Seniors Program under the “Seniors working for seniors project”. Project coordinator is Mr. Hernani de Leon.

We will attempt to present an educational as well as an entertaining show that will be remembered for a long time.
