The press item on the IPO was a non-event as it did not state anything new but was merely a reiteration of earlier statements that the eventual IPO of local Shell shares would depend on the results of studies about the refinery. This ongoing study has been Shell’s main excuse for the past two years.

These entities are gearing to cash in on the expected boom in medical tourism.

The first has requested anonymity. Below is what he sent.

"I completely agree with you with regards to the price of medicine. I would like to bring something even more mundane to your attention that is related to this subject: vitamins.

Gerardo P. Baron used his own motor vehicles (a Nissan Terrano and a Mitsubishi Pajero) to gain some insights on how biodiesel behaves in Philippine driving conditions.

Below are parts of Baron’s letter showing how he conducted his road tests. Read on.

[Summary] => The disaster that recently happened in Guimaras, leading to the worst oil spill in the country’s history, is unforgivable in terms of its resulting environmental damage.

The spill has desecrated a quiet province known for its sweet export mangoes and white sand beaches, lovely corals and reefs and a cacophony of sea and mangrove creatures that enabled Guimaras to attract more tourists and pull itself out of the list of the country’s 20 poorest provinces.

More than the recent brouhaha of an alleged leakage of questions in the nursing board examinations, the more alarming problem is the fact that despite the reported leakage, the passing percentage was less than 50 percent, with only 17,000 out of 42,000 examinees making the grade.

These have been wellsprings of long friendships, and have helped shape my values and views about a lot of things in my career as a corporate executive, and today as a businessman and journalist.

In chess, I learned the basic moves and rudiments of the game from my father. I remember how he would belt a good laugh when my King would be trapped and I would have to surrender to a checkmate just after he executed a couple of deft opening moves.
