Takot kasi kami na baka kung may manlo na mga Lp o Dilaw sa pag ka senador baka gagayahin nito si Trillanes , Bam , HOnteveros na palaging at kung ano nalang gagawin para sirain ang Presidente.

Climate change could undermine children's education and development in the tropics https://phys.org/news/2019-04-climate-undermine-children-tropics.html Education of children is one of the ambitious goals for sustainable development as a way to alleviate poverty and reduce vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters. Yet, a new study by a University of Maryland researcher published in the April 15, 2019, issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences concludes that exposure to extreme heat and precipitation in prenatal and early childhood years in countries of the global tropics could make it harder for children to attain secondary school education, even for better-off households.

"Nais ng mga masasamang pulitiko na manatiling mahirap at kulang sa edukasyon ang mga botante upang madali nilang magoyo at suhulan tuwing eleksyon. Sa binibigay nilang tulong ay ipaparamdam nila na may utang na loob ka sa kanila. Maaari na ang pinapamudmod nilang tulong kuno ay galing din sa pera ng bayan, nakaw na yaman o ibang kriminal na gawain.

The President also prohibited any more lease and acquisition of government lands by the private sector, saying he intends to give away these lands to agrarian reform beneficiaries for the remainder of his term. Duterte said: “My order to the DAR (Department of Agrarian Reform), since I still have three years remaining, is to give away all the lands to the people. That is what I intend to do,” Duterte said during the PDP-Laban campaign rally in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon last Saturday. “The rich multinationals who acquired leases on many lands, those leases have expired. If they haven’t yet, consider it cancelled because your lands are now under land reform,” he said in taking back the government lands. “There will be no acquisition...

Actually naman kasi lahat ng nasa itaas ay corrupt. Walang hindi corrupt diyan, lahat yan corrupt. Ang problema lang sa iba, hindi marunong mag dala. Gahaman, garapal at lantaran. For example, Binay is corrupt may kaso etc. etc. pero look nyo yung "City" niya which is "Makati" may mga side na mahihirap/squatter pero hindi abot ng 50% kasi magaling sya humawak at yung mga anak niya. Yung mga studyante libre lahat, and almost pati yung baon gusto narin ilibre ng Makati. Pero we all know na corrupt din siya and marami ding monkey business na ginagawa ang kaso magaling siyang humawak, ramdam ng tao yung "Serbisyo". Kaya kahit sino itapat eh hindi na bibitawan ng taga Makati yung "Binay". Kumbaga nahuli nya yung kiliti ng tao. Kaya ang...

GOOD NEWS! NOW OPEN AGAIN for commercial operations, the rehabilitated Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) and extended runway of the Marinduque Airport were inaugurated today, 11 April 2019. DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade led the inaugural ceremony of the airport that was left in a dismal state for years and has halted commercial operations since 2013. The DOTr alloted PhP9 million for the rehabilitation of the airport's PTB, which includes the installation of air conditioning units and replacement of accordion walls with glass walls, making it more convenient, safer, and more secure. To address the airport’s growing passenger demand, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) also implemented the PhP12-million concreting...

Hong Kong (CNN)Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to send his troops on a "suicide mission" if Beijing doesn't "lay off" a Manila-occupied island in the South China Sea. Duterte's speech at a rally in the city of Puerto Princesa in Palawan came days after the Philippine government claimed as many as 275 Chinese boats and ships had been spotted in recent months around Manila's Thitu Island in the Spratly Island chain. "Let us be friends, but do not touch Pagasa Island and the rest," Duterte said, according to CNN Philippines, using the Philippine word Pagasa for Thitu. "If you make moves there, that's a different story. I will tell my soldiers, 'Prepare for suicide mission'." Duterte said his words were not a warning...

Temperatures likely to rise by 3-5C above pre-industrial levels even if Paris goals met Sharp and potentially devastating temperature rises of 3C to 5C in the Arctic are now inevitable even if the world succeeds in cutting greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris agreement, research has found. Winter temperatures at the north pole are likely to rise by at least 3C above pre-industrial levels by mid-century, and there could further rise to between 5C and 9C above the recent average for the region, according to the UN. Such changes would result in rapidly melting ice and permafrost, leading to sea level rises and potentially to even more destructive levels of warming. Scientists fear Arctic heating could trigger a climate...

Here are 12 signs that the planet is in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, and why human activity is primarily to blame. Insects are dying off at record rates. Roughly 40% of the world’s insect species are in decline. A 2019 study found that the total mass of all insects on the planets is decreasing by 2.5% per year. If that trend continues unabated, the Earth may not have any insects at all by 2119. “In 10 years you will have a quarter less, in 50 years only half left, and in 100 years you will have none,” Francisco Sánchez-Bayo, a co-author of the study, told The Guardian. That’s a major problem because insects like bees, butterflies, and other pollinators perform a crucial role in fruit, vegetable, and nut production. Plus...

There's a new addition to the family tree: an extinct species of human that's been found in the Philippines. It's known as Homo luzonensis, after the site of its discovery on the country's largest island Luzon. Its physical features are a mixture of those found in very ancient human ancestors and in more recent people. That could mean primitive human relatives left Africa and made it all the way to South-East Asia, something not previously thought possible. The find shows that human evolution in the region may have been a highly complicated affair, with three or more human species in the region at around the time our ancestors arrive. One of these species was the diminutive "Hobbit" - Homo floresiensis - which survived on the...

Climate change could potentially have the same impact as an asteroid impact that slammed into the Earth more than 60 million years ago. Human-caused climate change such as air pollution, rising sea levels and habitat loss could trigger mass extinctions once more, they said in a new study. Co-author Research Associate Dr Andrew Fraass (Corr) from the University of Bristol said: ‘From this study, it’s reasonable to infer that it’s going to take an extremely long time – millions of years – to recover from the extinction that we’re causing through climate change and other methods.’ Read more at: https://metro.co.uk/2019/04/08/climate-change-damage-equivalent-to-asteroid-that-wiped-out-dinosaurs-warn-scientists-9133956/

It's all over social media right now—a campaign to boycott the local food brand Delimondo. The netizens' demand is not because of health issues, but primarily due to Delimondo being a brand by the Enrile-owned company JAKA. Your thoughts on this?

Duterte has claimed that he was born to poverty. Yet at other times, he has boasted that he was raised in wealth. The disclosures in his asset records across 20 years are woefully inconsistent, or less than fully open. Daughter Sara, Davao City mayor, and son Paolo, resigned Davao City vice mayor, are similarly ambiguous in the declarations they have made under oath in their respective Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth...

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has warned Filipinos about human trafficking scheme luring victims through social media for high-paying jobs in Dubai and Iraq. Filipinos are reminded to be cautious of persons, manpower agencies or recruitment agencies that carry out their operations using social media such as Facebook, Viber or WhatsApp, offering jobs in Dubai or in any other place. The warning was issued in light of human trafficking cases being monitored by the Philippine embassy in Baghdad. A trafficking victim detained in Basra Prison, Iraq for the last three months was finally released for deportation last April 3 and two more Filipinos were rescued by the embassy. Ten other individuals who were also...

A topic substantially discussed in law school is international law’s application within our municipal jurisdiction. In other words, may international law give rise to a demandable cause of action or defense before our local courts? The answer is in the Constitution. Article II.2’s relevant part provides: “The Philippines … adopts the generally accepted principles of international law as part of the law of the land …” From there, a couple of consequences are discernable. One is we adhere to the “dualist” theory (as opposed to the “monist”), which says international law is separate and distinct from municipal law. Another is the application of the “doctrine of incorporation,” which “mandates that the Philippines is bound by generally...

Senator Nancy Binay on Sunday called for a total ban on the entry of Chinese laborers and construction workers into the Philippines, saying that Filipino workers are losing employment opportunities to them. "Ang panawagan ay total ban sa pagpasok ng mga Chinese laborer at construction workers. Our duty is to protect our own workers and provide job security for them — but sadly, we're opening our labor market to non-Filipinos," she said in an emailed statement. There has been a recent surge in the entry of Chinese laborers into the Philippines, with the Department of Labor and Employement (DOLE) issuing 25,000 Alien Employment permits to Chinese in the last two years, over half the total 40,000 permits. The DOLE downplayed this in...

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine conglomerates are seen accelerating their expansion in the Asian region to diversify their income sources amid growing competition and regulatory challenges in the country. Investment bankers said many local conglomerates, including those that are already active in Asia, have set their sights on the region for expansion and are working on more deals in the future. “The thing to watch out for are the M&As (mergers and acquisitions) by some Philippine companies. They are going abroad because the returns here are no longer that attractive,” said one banker from a foreign investment house. Another banker said many of these Philippine giants are looking to acquire fintech companies that are active in the...

PHILSTAR By Arjay L. Balinbin Reporter PRESIDENT Rodrigo R. Duterte wants to meet with business leaders “on a regular basis,” the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) said on Sunday. Mr. Duterte said this in a meeting with business leaders and some Cabinet officials at Malacañang last Wednesday, April 3. “I was abroad and didn’t attend, but I was told the discussion went well and even the water issue was covered,” PCCI Chairman George T. Barcelon said in a phone message. He added: “PRRD, I was told, would like to have a meeting with the business community on a regular basis.” Asked what could be the reason for the regular meetings, Mr. Barcelon said: “I surmised to get regular feedback and inputs.” Business leaders who...
