🇵🇭 Pax Silica in the Philippines: Who Gains, Who Pays, and What the Documents Actually Say When a project promises billions of dollars in investment, hundreds of thousands of jobs, advanced technology and a place for the Philippines in the global artificial-intelligence economy, it is tempting to call it progress before the first building has risen. It is equally tempting to condemn it immediately as another foreign intrusion. Neither response is sufficient. Pax Silica must be examined according to what has actually been signed, what remains under negotiation, what the Philippine government promises, what foreign partners openly expect to receive—and what Filipino communities may be required to sacrifice. The truth is neither a government press release nor a protest slogan. But when the documented benefits, risks and obligations are unequal, neutrality must not become an excuse for silence. This article reflects publicly available information as of August 8, 2026. Because the binding...

Mi Ú ltimo Adi ó s original version by  José Rizal Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida, Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén! A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida, Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida, También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien. En campos de batalla, luchando con delirio, Otros te dan sus vidas sin dudas, sin pesar; El sitio nada importa, ciprés, laurel o lirio, Cadalso o campo abierto, combate o cruel martirio, Lo mismo es si lo piden la patria y el hogar. Yo muero cuando veo que el cielo se colora Y al fin anuncia el día tras lóbrego capuz; si grana necesitas para teñir tu aurora, Vierte la sangre mía, derrámala en buen hora Y dórela un reflejo de su naciente luz. Mis sueños cuando apenas muchacho adolescente, Mis sueños cuando joven ya lleno de vigor, Fueron el verte un día, joya del mar de oriente, Secos los negros ojos, alta la tersa frente, Sin ceño, sin arrugas, sin manchas de rubor. Ensueño de mi vida, mi ardiente vivo a...

Minneapolis protest against Arizona immigrant law SB 1070 (Photo credit: Fibonacci Blue ) Note: This is just my view, but I believe I am right even just to voice out my opinion. No harm intended at all... ----- 17-Jan-2013 It is almost always notable that anybody can be a migrant, and that is the reason why I title my post as such – one day you are a local, and when you travel out of your country, your native land , you become a foreigner . And with this premise, I hereby present my (hopefully) honest and valid assessment of a nation’s state, where I currently reside, starting from 1999 – and hope that my length of stay gives credence to my truthful revelation, as if what I’m going to say isn’t known at all, because while it is, saying anything or doing anything that doesn’t please those in command will get you into trouble. I should say that that is just the norm anywhere you are, so I hope I will say this in plain text and without any ill will or hidden motives. I my...

The finding is completely against the current belief - it therefore needs further study and more evidence. But if succeeding tests will yield the same results, there goes another myth... and this is a really, really good one indeed! Read on... ----- Posted: 12 June 2012 WASHINGTON : The offspring of fathers and grandfathers who reproduced later in life could enjoy life-extending genetic benefits, including being able to father children at an older age, a new study suggests. Researchers at Northwestern University believe the process represents an unusually rapid evolutionary adaptation in which telomeres -- DNA found at the ends of chromosomes -- lengthen, which is thought to promote healthy aging. "If your father and grandfather were able to live and reproduce at a later age, this might predict that you yourself live in an environment that is somewhat similar -- an environment with less accidental deaths or in which men are only able to find a partner at later ages,...
