Duterte approves inclusion of nuclear power in Philippine energy mix
© Provided by Interaksyon MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte has signed an executive order to include nuclear power in the country’s energy mix, as authorities prepare for the phasing out of coal-fired power plants and after earlier efforts failed due to safety concerns. The order, signed on February 28 and made public on Thursday, could be a major milestone for the country’s energy sector which suffers regular power outages and high prices but will concern opponents of the move. Signed just three months before Duterte ends his single six-year term, the order also directs an inter-agency panel the president created in 2020 to look into the viability of reopening the mothballed Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). “The national...
Ukraine vs russia
instead of thinking hard sa pag taas ng gas , isipin nalng natin buti wala tayo sa gera kung san sobrang hirap ng buhay hindi mo alam bigla ka nalng mwwla sa mundong ibabaw , habang sila pinoproblema kung pano makakaalis at mabubuhay dun tayo ang problema lng pag taas ng mga bilihin at presyo ng gas pero ligtas parin tayo , thank GOD
Too much POWER
Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng sobrang kapangyarihan. Madaming pera at maimpluwensya pero pinupuno at inilalabas ang pagiging makasarili. Pagiging makasarili na iba ang naghihirap - mahirap na at lalo pang naghihirap. Sana magkaron pa ng pinuno na para sa nakararami ang iniiisip at ginagawa. Pinuno na ang uunahin ay maiangat ang pamumuhay ng lahat lalo na ang mga nasa babang nagsisikap. Hindi iispin ang pansariling interes, madagdagan ang yaman, lalo pang magpayaman at kakampi ng mga kapitalista. Isinilang ang karamihan sa atin sa panahong mga kapitalista ang inuuna at may kapangyarihan ang una. Sana mga nagsisikap na simpleng tao muna, Pilipinas muna, at hindi AKO muna ang maging susunod na pinuno.

Ukraine war tests China's 'no limits' bond with Russia
BEIJING: President Xi Jinping and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin toasted a friendship with "no limits" at a warm meeting in February, but just one month later that bond is being tested by the war in Ukraine. With international outrage and sanctions mounting against Russia, Beijing is scrambling to avoid being tainted by association with Moscow while also maintaining their increasingly close ties. Once bitter Cold War rivals, China and Russia have moved closer than ever since Xi Jinping took power nearly a decade ago, driven by their shared desire to confront US power. But China seems to have been caught flat-footed by Russia's military offensive, fierce Ukrainian resistance, and the volume of the resulting international...
