Attn: Charles Irizarry - President

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As counsel for the Company, I have examined the Company's articles of
incorporation, by-laws, and such other corporate records, documents and
proceedings and such questions of law I have deemed relevant for the purpose of
this opinion.

I have also, as counsel for the Company, examined the Registration Statement
(the "Registration Statement") of the Company on Form S-1, covering the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of 10,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock").

My review has also included the form of prospectus for the issuance of such
securities (the "Prospectus") filed with the Registration Statement.

On the basis of such examination, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly authorized and validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, with corporate power to conduct
its business as described in the Registration Statement.

2. The Company has an authorized capitalization of 75,000,000 shares of Common
Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.

3. The shares of Common Stock currently issued and outstanding are duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, pursuant to the corporation law
of the State of Nevada.

4. The shares of Common Stock offered in the Registration Statement are duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, pursuant to the corporate law of
the State of Nevada.

This opinion includes my opinion on Nevada law including the Nevada
Constitution, all applicable provisions of Nevada statutes, and reported
judicial decisions interpreting those laws.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is
implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. I hereby consent
to the use of my opinion as herein set forth as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the inclusion of this opinion in the Registration Statement. In
giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that I come within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933
or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of
Regulation S-K.

Very truly yours,
