The YS Weekly
MANILA, Philippines - Everyone’s tried to define our times. We’re doing it by week. Numbers, figures, and a fast-teller feed of info you might want to take the next week to think over.

12.45 million: The number of viewers who tuned in to the Glee Season 2 premiere in the United States

15: Percent of student’s body weight that should be the maximum load carried by children to school, according to Sen. Lito Lapid’s bill slammed by Education Secretary Armi Luitro
BECAUSE EDITORS, LIKE PEOPLE, MAKE MISTAKES:
Elar’s Lechon: The iconic lechon stand on Quezon Avenue corner Speaker Perez St. in Quezon City is not connected with any other lechon brands and store franchises. In our July 30 feature “The route to food-trip high,” we mistakenly associated the original Elar’s with another store.
Tepiña: Fabric made from pineapple silk as branded by The Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation, Inc. This is another erratum we’re making ‘cause we labeled it “pipiña” in last week’s “The DO List” feature.
