EVERYBODY’S SPECULATING ABOUT ALBEE’S POLITICAL PLANS
SHOULD former Negros Occidental 3rd District congressman Albee Benetiz decide to run for mayor, he would surely see to it that he wins even if he would be up against the formidable Mayor Bing, the longest-serving mayor of the City of Smiles, according to political kibitzers.
After all, they say, Albee has the wherewithal to finance an effective campaign machinery. In fact, Albee is now considered the political kingmaker in Negros Occidental following the demise of Danding Cojuangco.

Wala pa man gani Say mo, Newks? si sa John O. “dies-dies” laughing! DESPITE the assurances from the Department of Agriculture that there is sufficient supply of pork in Western Visayas, why are pork prices rising, most especially in Iloilo City?
A pork vendor at the Iloilo Terminal Market knows why. While Region 6 has an abundant supply of pork its export to the National Capital Region is being prioritized.
supply reject according to the vendor. This, in turn, has resulted to the increase in the price, he added. the vendor explained. Right now, a kilo of pork here cost between P255 to P280. But while carnivores are upset, vegans are rejoicing. They see the current pork situation as an opportunity to promote vegetarianism – the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood, and the flesh of any other animal), and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter. healthful Say Remelyn? Guijo “dies-dies” smiling! CAPIZ’S Gov. Nonoy Evan tested positive again for COVID-19, his second infection.
If anything, this is a reminder to all that the coronavirus is very real, and that even if one had been infected previously and eventually recovered, this is not a guarantee of immunity for another round of infection.
Indeed across the globe, COVID-19 reinfection cases tell us that we cannot rely on immunity acquired by natural infection.
Are reinfections more or less severe than the first? What implications do reinfections have for COVID-19 vaccines? How effective are the current vaccines against this viral disease?
Historically, the vaccines that have been easiest to make are against diseases in which primary (first) infection leads to lasting immunity. But the capacity for reinfection does not mean that a vaccine against COVID-19 can’t be effective. Some vaccines, for example, require “booster” shots to maintain protection.
Do people that have been vaccinated already against COVID-19 still need a booster?
On the upside, learning more about reinfection could help researchers to develop better and more potent vaccines. One thing is clear: IF CHINESE presence remains in the traditional Filipino fishing grounds in the West Philippine Sea, the Philippines could face a possible fish shortage.
We already have a pork shortage problem. Let’s not allow a fish shortage because it will raise fish prices for sure.
Zambales fisherfolk blame their dwindling catch to the presence of at least 20 Chinese vessels anchored around 111 kilometers from San Antonio, Zambales. According to the fishermen, they usually earn as much as P4,000 per fishing trip but they are now coming back almost empty-handed due to the scarcity of their catch.
The government must take immediate action against the twin threats of territory encroachment and fish shortage in the West Philippine Sea. As early as now, we should heed the warning of our fishermen on the issue of their dwindling catch.
In this situation, China is not only violating our sovereignty, it is also robbing us of income and food. This is worse than invasion. The presence of some 270 Chinese fishing boats in Subi and Mischief Reefs, as well as in the Scarborough Shoal and Spratlys, could have potentially netted 3 million metric tons of cumulative catch for China.
Small-scale farmers and fishermen are always on the losing end. They are the poorest and almost always taken advantage of.
