MANILA, Philippines — Food-to-infrastructure giant San Miguel Corp. (SMC) plans to include a bus rapid system and active transport facilities in the revised design of the controversial Pasig River Expressway (PAREX).

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, SMC confirmed reports it is reviving its interest in building a toll road above Pasig River, backpedaling on an earlier decision to scrap the project in deference to growing opposition.

FIRST lady Liza Araneta-Marcos' reputedly expensive public relations project — an hour-long interview with broadcaster Anthony Taberna — intended to portray her as a wife passionately protective of her husband's dignity and as a no-nonsense, down-to-earth, apolitical President's wife, has seriously backfired.

What emerged from her statements itself is an Imelda 2.0, the son's version of his father's globally famous wife who was the most powerful figure in Marcos Sr.'s 21-year rule. Perhaps the present first lady is even more powerful than her mother-in-law, as she herself disclosed in so many words — that she was responsible for surrounding her husband with his inner circle of "trusted, good men" and kicking out of Malacañang Victor Rodriguez, the most powerful official in the bureaucracy and her husband's most trusted confidante. Is it in the Marcos DNA?

Seeing famous actors e.g. Robin Williams, and Bruce Willis suffering from dementia made me wonder in later stages do the people still aware of death? We all know death because we know the process we learn from or it's just that we instinctively aware of it?

The leaders of a religious-themed investment scam that promised its victims a lifetime of profits will spend a lifetime behind bars instead.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 14) — Sen.

Now that the Maharlika fund bill is waiting for the president's signature. Was curious what c/Philippines think of it in general. Personally I don't support it, it feels like we sign on something very sketchy it has pork barrel-ish feel to it. I feel concern for the banks e.g. Landbank who will be forced to invest which risk government employees source of salary. I don't understand why they want it now, when we are debt ridden.

Title says it all, would be great addition or atleast have an internal browser.
