Women Who Changed The World, Part 2

The 2014 Women's Month Celebration is the best time to highlight the "drivers of change" who untiringly volunteered themselves in times of disaster, conflict and calamity. This celebration recognizes the role of women in the rehabilitation process and their over-all contributions to progress.

We started to feature those amazing women through out history in our last post. However, since there are just a very limited space to name a few of those women, we have to pause for awhile and reflect on the great deeds that they have done for us.

Baguio Child Killer Deserves The Most Painful

The gruesome scene occurred on last 6 April 2014 in Baguio City. The casualty: five persons, including three minors.

Massacre Victims in Oriental Mindoro Deserve Justice

There house may be far, isolated and hard to reach, but it does not mean that the family who were killed should not get justice.

Women Who Changed The World, Part 1

Whenever we celebrate the International Women's Day (IWD), it is prudent to know that the observance was a result of the organizing activities of women in the early 20th Century. Between 1909 and 1911, working women in the United States participated in organizing strike activities of the National Women’s Trade Union League and other concerned groups. They were responding to the low wages, lack of protective legislation and the poor working conditions to which women workers were subjected during that time.

This year's celebration of Women's Month pays tribute to the strong and resilient "Juanas" who brought inspiring changes here in the country and across the globe.

PHL Among the 10 Emerging Economies

The country is really on a roll when it comes to economic growth. We have not seen rapid development in years, which could be attributed to President Benigno Aquino III's policy of getting rid of several corrupt officials, agencies and practices as well as cracking the whip on illicit black market trading.

Recent reports from Aurélia End of Agence France-Presse revealed that Philippines is among 10 countries set to take over as emerging economies from the powerful BRICS nations as they struggle with growing pains, a French credit body.
