'YOU HAVE MY 100% COOPERATION PARA TULUNGAN 'YUNG KABABAYAN NATIN' Ramon Ang, president and CEO of Petron, said he is willing to sell the company back to the government if it would help address the country's fuel concerns amid tensions in the Middle East. "In fact sabi ko nga eh, kung gusto ng gobyerno, pwede ng gobyerno bilhin 'yung Petron sa akin kung sa tingin nila mas magaling silang magpatakbo. In short, you have my 100% cooperation para tulungan 'yung kababayan natin," he expressed in an interview on Friday. He said the offer is part of his broader assurance that the company would not take advantage of the crisis, stressing that profit would not come at the public's expense.

The only President who truly fought for the people - no matter the cost. He prevented our country from becoming a narco state, went head-to-head with powerful oligarchs, helped drug addicts who were willing to change, & showed zero mercy to drug pushers & druglords poisoning our communities. I will never forget. 👊🏼🇵🇭

NATO WITHDRAWS TROOPS FROM IRAQ MISSION Inalis na ng NATO ang lahat ng tropa nito mula sa isang advisory mission sa Iraq noong Biyernes, March 20. Kasunod ito ng nagpapatuloy na tensyon sa Middle East. "I would like to thank the Republic of Iraq and all the Allies who assisted in the safe relocation of ⁠NATO personnel from Iraq," pahayag ng Supreme Allied Commander Europe ng NATO na si U.S. Air Force Gen.

In 1980, a bioarchaeologist at Emory University named George Armelagos was studying ancient human bones from Sudanese Nubia, the kingdom that flourished along the Nile south of Egypt between roughly 350-550 CE, when something stopped him. Under ultraviolet light, the bones glowed. They fluoresced with a distinctive yellow-green color that Armelagos recognized immediately, because the same glow appeared in the bones of modern patients who had been treated with tetracycline. The antibiotic binds tightly to calcium and phosphorus in bone tissue as the body metabolizes it, leaving a permanent fluorescent marker. What Armelagos was seeing in bones nearly two thousand years old was chemically identical to what he saw in twentieth-century medical subjects. The archaeological community was skeptical. The received history of antibiotics began with Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1928, and tetracycline itself was not isolated until 1948. The idea that a pre-literate population in the Nile valley had been routinely ingesting it seemed implausible, and the initial findings were dismissed as post-mortem contamination from soil bacteria. Armelagos spent three more decades building the case. He eventually partnered with Mark Nelson, a leading tetracycline specialist at Paratek Pharmaceuticals, who agreed to perform a definitive chemical analysis. The process required dissolving the ancient bones in hydrogen fluoride, one of the most corrosive and dangerous acids in existence. What the resulting liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry analysis found was not a trace of tetracycline. The bones were saturated with it. Multiple tetracycline variants were identified, including chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, in concentrations indicating sustained exposure beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life. Ninety percent of the Nubian individuals tested showed the labeling. The exposure had not been accidental or occasional. It had been lifelong and deliberate. The source was their beer. Ancient Egyptian and Nubian brewing began with grain, typically emmer wheat or barley, which in that region was naturally contaminated with Streptomyces, a soil bacterium that produces tetracycline as a metabolic byproduct. The grain was germinated, made into bread, then incompletely baked to preserve an active center, and finally fermented in vats of water. The standard practice was to seed each new batch with ten percent of the previous one, which kept the Streptomyces culture alive and active from batch to batch in a continuous chain. The resulting brew was thick, sour, low in alcohol, and highly nutritious. Everyone drank it, including children as young as two years old. The critical question Armelagos could not fully resolve was whether the Nubians understood what they were doing. The consensus among researchers is that they almost certainly did not know the mechanism. They had no concept of bacteria, no understanding of antibiotics as a drug class, and no language for what tetracycline was doing in their bodies. What they likely did know, accumulated through generations of observation and passed down as practical knowledge, was that this particular preparation of beer had medicinal effects. Ancient Egyptian and Jordanian medical texts record beer being used to treat gum disease, wounds, and other infections. The brewing method that produced tetracycline appears to have been deliberately maintained and refined over centuries, not by any understanding of the chemistry involved, but by the accumulated recognition that it worked. #archaeohistories

Scientists found a fungus in the Amazon called Pestalotiopsis microspora that literally snacks on plastic. Pestalotiopsis microspora is not your typical fungus. It can survive entirely on polyurethane, one of the most common (and most persistent) types of plastic — and it does so even in oxygen-free environments, like buried landfills.

NBI demand for ‘One On One’ questioning for 18 marines… is definitely a guise of intimidation harassment . Even non lawyers know that. Appreciate Atty Topacio for his firmness to uphold the legal system of law against the govt MAFIA

Senator Mark Villar has filed a resolution calling for a Senate investigation into the investment activities of the Maharlika Investment Corporation, the government-owned entity managing the country’s sovereign wealth fund. The measure, Senate Resolution No. 334, directs the appropriate Senate committee to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation into the investment and operational activities of the corporation. The proposed investigation aims to determine whether the Maharlika Investment Fund is being managed sustainably, efficiently, and in accordance with its mandate. In the resolution, Villar noted that recent reports on certain investment transactions have raised questions about whether these deals adequately protect public interest and ensure proper management of the sovereign wealth fund. Among the transactions cited is the corporation’s reported plan in December 2025 to acquire up to 101,189,675 shares in Asian Terminals Inc., a port operator, at ₱36 per share, amounting to a total investment of about ₱3.64 billion. The investment would give the fund a minority stake in the company. The acquisition was undertaken in connection with Asian Terminals’ plan to delist from the Philippine Stock Exchange. As of February 2026, reports indicate that the Maharlika Investment Corporation had already spent about ₱2.9 billion, representing approximately 4.62 percent ownership in the company. The resolution also cited criticism from some quarters that the investment could effectively use public funds to benefit private shareholders without giving the government meaningful control or influence over the company’s operations. Villar said that while the Maharlika Investment Corporation must be given some flexibility to pursue its investment strategies, the government must still ensure that public funds are managed transparently and that investment decisions ultimately serve the interests of the Filipino people. The Maharlika Investment Fund Act, enacted in 2023, established the country’s sovereign wealth fund to mobilize state assets for strategic investments aimed at generating returns, supporting economic development, creating jobs, and sustaining long-term growth. If adopted, the resolution would authorize the Senate to examine the corporation’s investment decisions and determine whether additional safeguards or oversight measures are needed to strengthen accountability in the management of the Maharlika Investment Fund.

The pain will always linger. The frustration realizing that my own taxes was used to fund the extraordinary rendition of the very president I strongly support is unbearable. I will never forgive. I will never forget. #BringPRRDHome

BREAKING: Japan Approves World’s First iPSC Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease. This is not a drill. This is history. Japan’s Health Ministry has officially approved two iPS cell therapies: Amchepry for Parkinson’s and ReHeart for severe heart failure. Based on Nobel Prize-winning research, these treatments use reprogrammed stem cells to regenerate damaged dopamine neurons in the brain. Seven patients were treated. Four showed significant improvement. No major side effects. Available to patients by summer 2026. 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson’s. The cure is no longer theoretical.
