Ano nang nangyari sa dengvaxia?
BIGLANG natahimik ang isyu sa Dengvaxia vaccine? Anyare? Pagkaraan ng mga pagdinig sa Senado, biglang natahimik ang mainit na pagtatalo ukol sa bakuna na ibinigay sa may 700,000 na mga bata noong 2016. Wala na ring marinig sa Department of Health (DOH) ukol sa Dengvaxia. Nakabibingi ang katahimikan. Ang huling balita na may kaugnayan sa Dengvaxia ay ang pagkakalagay sa look-out bulletin ng Bureau of Immigration kay dating Pres. Noynoy Aquino, dating Budget Sec. Butch Abad at dating DOH Sec. Janet Garin. Sila ang mga nasa likod nang pagbibigay ng bakuna na ang halaga ay P3.5 bilyon. Pero hindi ito ang mahalagang dapat pag-usapan ngayon kundi ang kalagayan ng mga bata na hindi pa nagkaka-dengue pero nabakunahan. Nakagawa na ba ng...
Bida ang saya ng kapitalista at eo kontra endo
Disi-otso anyos noong 2012 si Jessamel Crispo, at estudyante sa isang kolehiyo sa Quezon City.Pero hindi kaya ng mga magulang niya na pag-aralin siya. Buti na lang, naisip niya noon, may scholarship ang Jollibee. Salamat sa sikat na bubuyog. Bida nga ang saya. Pero hindi pala. “Natuwa ako (sa Jollibee Seeds Scholarship), kasi akala ko libre na (ang pag-aaral ko),” kuwento ni Jessamel. Akala niya, salamat sa kagandahang loob ng bubuyog (o ng mga kapitalistang nasa likod nito), makakapag-aral na siya at matutupad ang mga pangarap, at maiaahon sa hirap ang pamilya. Pero ang katotohanan, mistulang naging recruitment agency ang scholarship. “Parang working student lang din (ako). ‘Yung ipinangpapaaral sa (akin), kaltas din sa sahod (ko),”...

Sa likod ng kasaysayan: bagani
Ang Bagani ay tribal warriors, defense system ng mga tribo noong may tribal wars pa. Nag-aagawan ng lupa, Manobo laban sa Mamanwa o iba pang tribo. Pero umabot ang panahon na nagkaroon na ng 'Tampuda' (peace pact) ang mga Manobo at Mamanwa, tulad ng 'Diyande' para sa mga B'laan at Bagobo. Nagkaisa ang mga tribo na itigil na ang lahat ng porma ng tribal wars. Lalo pa itong umigting sa panahong nakita nila na ang common enemy na ay ang malalaking dayuhang kompanya ng mina, dams, at plantasyon na nagdidisplace sa kanila at pumapatay sa kanilang mga datu dahil sa pagtutol. Ang Magahat naman ay ang nagpapanatili ng kaayusan at kapayapaan ng tribo sa pangunguna ng datu o tribal leader. PERO BINASTOS ITO NG AFP. GINAMIT ANG MAGAHAT AT...
Kastilyong buhangin sa beach, ginawang bahay ng isang lalaki sa brazil
Sa loob ng mahigit 20 taon, sa isang kastilyong buhangin na malapit sa beach ang ginawang tirahan ng isang lalaki sa Rio de Janeiro sa Brazil. Ang mismong lalaki ang gumawa sa kaniyang kastilo na nilagyan pa niya ng watawat ng kanilang bansa. Pero kahit mayroon siyang "kastilo," hindi naman parang hari ang kaniyang pamumuhay sa kaniyang bahay dahil kulang ito sa kagamitan. Kapag sobrang init umano ang panahon, nakikitulog ang lalaki sa kaniyang kaibigan. Nasa labas ang kaniyang kusina at nakikigamit siya ng palikuran sa kalapit na firehouse. Gayunman, mistulang atrasyon na sa ilang bumisita sa beach ang kaniyang kastilyo Source...
Kalagayan ng mga bpo workers sa bansa
Mg_0803 by TypeSend posted Apr 30, 2018 at 6:45 AM Sa kabila ng ningning na dala ng industriyang ito sa ekonomiya ng bansa, makulimlim ang papawirin sa ibabaw ng maraming ahente ng business process outsourcing (BPO). Umpisa pa lang ng dekada 1990s, nag-aambag na nang malaki sa kabuuang gross domestic product(GDP) ng bansa ang industriya ng BPO. Noong 2016, umabot sa P22- Bilyon ang naging ambag nito sa ekonomiya ng bansa. Pero sa kabila ng mabilis nitong pag-unlad, pagdaan ng panaho’y papasahol naman ang kalagayan ng milyun-milyong manggagawa ng industriya ng BPO. Kung noon, tinitingnan ng maraming kabataang bagong gradwado sa kolehiyo — o kahit hindi gradwado — ang BPO bilang siguradong pupuntahang trabaho na may nakabubuhay na...
Fil-am beggar ‘tisoy’ hopes to meet american dad someday
The situation of a Filipino-American child who begs for money to support his family in Pampanga had gone viral on social media. According to a report on GMA 7 news program "24 Oras", Johnsy "Tisoy" Melchor never knew his father, and he was the sole support of his mother and two half-brothers. The half-Caucasian child's light skin was burned dark after spending several hours under the hot sun begging . Several netizens were moved by Tisoy's story and they extended their help to the Melchor family, who made a public park in Angeles City their home. Johnsy yearned to meet and get to know his American father. However, his mother said she had not seen his father since before he was born. "Hinabol ko po siya sa kanyang apartment na...
The truth about political surveys
SURVEY says? Kung sa online may trolls o bayaran, sa mga public survey ay mayroon din! Ito yung kinomisyon ng isang indibidwal o grupo para sa sarile nilang interes at ito ay bayad... Dalawang klase ang survey, una ay yung commissioned o binayaran ng isang indibidwal o grupo; ang pangalawa ay non-commissioned o inisyatiba ng survey company para alamin ang pulso ng bayan sa isang produkto o pananaw ng bayan sa isang pangyayari; at kasama nga dito ang popularidad ng isang produkto o tao, sa pagkakataon ito ay ang kandidato (pre-election survey). Ang ganitong klase ng survey politikal, kontrolado ng nagbayad ang mga datos at maikokondiserang pribado kaya't hindi mauusisa ang datos at metodolohiya; kung saang lugar ginawa, demographic (o...
Palace powerless to ban ‘endo’ in ph – official
Malacañang admitted on Monday that it is powerless in enforcing a ban on contractual work arrangements in the country, noting that an Executive Order (EO) is not enough to enforce a total ban on contractualization. Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra said lawmakers should amend the Labor Code to abolish contractualization. The elimination of contractualization is one of President Rodrigo Duterte’s main campaign promises in the 2016 national elections. “That draft EO has been under study in our office for quite some time. The main problem there is iyong mga gustong mangyari ay (what they want to happen is) something that the executive department is not empowered to do, kailangan legislative action talaga (it really needs...
Who is gary webb?
This is Gary Webb. In 1996, Gary exposed how the CIA hired drug dealer Danilo Blandon and other traffickers to sell massive amount of cocaine in the United States, in order to raise untraceable funds to finance a terrorist organization known as the Contras, who were trying to overthrow the Nicaraguan government. These massive shipments of cocaine ultimately sparked the crack epidemic that decimated the inner city during the 90's too. As a result, the mainstream media vilified Gary Webb and destroyed his career which also led to the destruction of his marriage.But Gary refused to back down and stoodfirm against the system. In 2004, Gary was found dead with 2 bullet wounds to his head. The death was ruled a suicide. This man literally...
