                    [Summary] => Filipino-American businesswoman Blanquita Pelaez said yesterday opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson is not yet off the hook.


Lacson faces arrest, Pelaez said, if he fails to pay her damages arising from a 1996 handcuffs supply contract she had with the Philippine National Police (PNP).


She claimed Lacson blocked payment for the handcuffs contract after she refused to follow his instructions, issued in 1999, to fabricate charges against three former interior and local government secretaries and 123 PNP officers whom he considered his enemies.

He noticed that quite a number of good things are now happening in the Philippines. "The peso is getting stronger. The poor seem to feel their lot is improving." he said.   "The pessimists will need to work harder to maintain their negative attitudes if this sort of thing keeps happening."

He is not, of course, alone. There are thousands of people in the Philippines who are also socially isolated and lonely. Many are sick while others are quite healthy. So, who gets affected and who doesn’t? And how do social isolation and loneliness produce stress that can affect physical and mental health?
