Little miss Sunshine: Charice Pempengco and Lea Michele singing Telephone on Glee.

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.

2: The earliest age of children who use swear words and drop the f-bomb, according to an article in Time.com

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

Sunshiners: Term for Charice’s Glee character Sunshine Corazon’s fans. Her twitter here: http://twitter.com/sunshinecorazon

P7.4 million: The amount De La Salle University will reportedly spend to convert the aging Rizal Memorial Sports Complex into a world-class football field as part of the deal between the university and the Philippine Sports Commission

113,000: The number of antidepressant prescriptions issued to minors below 16 years old, according to an article in The Guardian

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.
