Editorial : Illnesses that Thrive in Hot Weather

  Editorial : Illnesses that Thrive in Hot Weather Every year, as temperatures increases, so does the risk of certain illnesses that thrive in hot weather. While summer is often associated with vacations and outdoor fun, it also leads to diseases such as heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and waterborne infections. Many people underestimate how quickly dehydration can set in, especially when combined with prolonged exposure to the sun.  One of the most concerning issues during extreme heat is the rise in heat-related illnesses. When the body cannot cool itself effectively, it can lead to dangerous conditions that may require immediate medical attention. At the same time, food and water safety become more critical, as higher temperatures can accelerate the growth of harmful bacteria, increasing cases of food poisoning and gastrointestinal infections. Despite these risks, many of these illnesses are preventable with simple precautions. Staying hydrated, avoiding direct sun exposur...

 Cayetano: Pagtugon sa oil crisis dapat nakaayon sa sitwasyon ng lugar at sektor Hinihikayat ni Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano ang pamahalaan na iayon sa bawat lugar ang pagtugon nito sa oil crisis dahil hindi aniya pare-pareho ang tama nito sa iba’t ibang rehiyon at sektor sa bansa. Sa isang Facebook vlog kamakailan, sinabi ni Cayetano na madalas ay Metro Manila lang ang sentro ng usapan kaya hindi lubos na nakikita ang tunay na kalagayan sa mga probinsya, isla, at malalayong komunidad. “Ang tendency natin, dalawa: one is we talk (mainly) about Metro Manila and number two, when we talk, we're talking as if buong Metro Manila is the same situation sa bundok, sa isla, sa bawat barangay sa ating bansa,” aniya. “‘Pag nagbigay tayo ng tulong, ‘pag tayo naghanap ng solusyon, kailangan personalized ‘yan. Kailangan nakatutok ‘yan sa sitwasyon ng lugar,” dagdag pa niya. Suportado ito ng datos mula sa Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Nitong March 2026, pumalo sa 4.3 pe...

 Overall average transmission rates up in April 2026 electric bills Power consumers may see a slight increase in transmission rates reflected in their April 2026 electricity bills. The overall equivalent average transmission rate for the March 2026 billing period to be billed by distribution utilities and electric cooperatives this April increased by 4.26% to PhP1.7526/kWh, up from February’s PhP1.6810/kWh. Ancillary Service (AS) rates -- pass-through costs for power supplied by power generators who are AS providers during supply-demand imbalance -- increased from PhP 0.8275/kWh in February to PhP0.8516/kWh in March. NGCP emphasized that it does not earn from AS and does not benefit from any change in AS prices, as these are remitted directly to generation companies with bilateral contracts with NGCP, and to the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) for AS sourced from the Reserve Market.  Meanwhile, NGCP’s transmission wheeling rate, or the fee ...

 Pagbangon at paglago sa gitna ng hamon Sa kanilang opisina, si Shella Ann Magno, kliyente ng CARD, Inc., ay patuloy na pinalalago ang kaniyang negosyo ng feed. Ang dedikasyon at tiyaga niya sa pagpapaunlad ng negosyo ay inspirasyon sa maraming microentrepreneurs sa Davao City. Para sa isang distributor ng feed para sa manok at iba pang hayop, malaking kagalakan ang makita ang paglago ng livestock farms. Si Shella Ann Magno, mula Matina, Davao City, ay nagsusuplay ng de-kalidad na feed sa mga livestock farmers na tumutulong sa pagpapalakas ng kalusugan at paglaki ng kanilang mga alagang hayop. Nagsimula siya ng negosyo kasama ang kanyang asawa. Habang maraming negosyo ay nagsisimula sa kapital na higit kalahating milyong piso, sila ay nagsimula sa PHP 300,000 lamang. Taon-taon nilang pinalalago ang negosyo. Unti-unti itong lumaki at naging korporasyon na may maraming investors at aktibong pinamamahalaang miyembro. Ngunit dumating ang mahirap na pagsubok.
