"The Mountain People" ni Batas Suanding sa kanyang editorila sa pahayagang Baguio Midland Courier noong July 13,1947
Ang mga Taong Bundok
               Ipinagmamalaki ko ang aking lalawigan na tinatawag na "bundok" na pinaninirahan ng mga tribong tinatawg na "Igorot".
Ang lalawigan kong saan nakatira ang mga Igorot ay sa kabundukan ng Cordillera.
               Isa sa mga dahilan nang hindi mabuting pagtingin ng ilan sa mga Igorot ay hindi nakakahalinang personal na hitsura.
Ang mga nakapag-aral na Igorot o mga opisyal na Igorot ang pwede lamang mamuno sa iba pang Igorot

Sniper: Manloloko, madyikero at mandarambong
Ilang mga magsasaka ng Quezon province ang dumulog para isumbong ang umano’y malaking panloloko na ginawa sa kanila ni DA Sec. Alcala noong ito’y kongresista ng 2nd district ng Quezon.  Ipinalitaw ni Alcala na sila at nabigyan ng P50,000 bawat isa mula sa PDAF noong taong 2008 ngunit ayon sa kanila, wala ni isang kusing na pera ang sumayad sa kamay nila at pineke lang ang kanilang mga pirma.  Inirekomenda din sa Senate probe committee na imbestigahan ng Ombudsman ang dating NFA Admin. Banayo na sangkot umano sa ma-anumalyang pagbibigay ng rice import quotas sa mga importer na gumamit ng dummy companies.  Isang Clarito Barron naman na mismong taga-BPI ang putok na putok din ang pangalan pagdating sa pagbibigay umano ng monopoly sa pinabuburang dummy companies para sa garlic permits.

MANILA, Philippines - A total of 5,023 smoke belchers were nabbed by the Makati Pollution and Control Office (MPCO) in anti-smoke belching operations last year in the city’s major and inner roads.
The anti-smoke belching operations were carried out to enforce Republic Act 8749 or the Clean Air Act.
In a report to Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay, MPCO chief Ricardo Suarez said that although there was a slight drop in the total number of apprehended smoke belching vehicles in 2012 as compared to 5,214 violators in 2011, the total annual fines collected from offenders last year increased to P1. 499 milllion from P1.398 million in 2011.
Suarez said the increase in income generated were from repeat offenders who committed violations repeatedly last year.
Under City Ordinance 2004-032, Makati’s enabling law against smoke belching, first-time offenders are fined P1,000, while second-time and third-time offenders are fined P2,000 and P3,000, respectively. The driver’s license and car plates are also confiscated in some instances.
Suarez said all the apprehended vehicles exceeded the smoke emission level set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
Topping the list of air polluters last year were delivery vans and other utility transportation with 2,574 of these vehicles caught, followed by trucks with 1,972; public utility jeepneys and tricycles, 238; cars, 181; buses, 53; and taxis, five.
The stricter campaign against smoke belching vehicles was based on the standing directive of Binay to clear all the city’s streets of air polluting vehicles, Suarez said.
“Clean air is a major concern of the Makati City government. This is why we have conducted our intensified anti-smoke belching campaign without letup,” he said.
The MPCO deploys its anti-smoke belching enforcers from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in the city’s streets and main avenues like J. P. Rizal Street, Kalayaan Avenue, Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue and Magallanes.
Makati is one of the few localities in the country recognized by the DENR for its strict enforcement of the Clean Air Act.

Study shows lack of net access among women in developing countries
MANILA, Philippines - A latest study by Intel Corporation revealed a huge gender gap between men and women in terms of accessing the Internet particularly in developing countries.
Intel's report on "Women and the Web" cited a concrete data on the enormous Internet gender gap in the developing world and the social and economic benefits of securing Internet access for women.
To better understand the gender gap, Intel commissioned the study and consulted with the US State Department's Office of Global Women's Issues, UN Women and World Pulse, a global network for women. The report issues a call to action to double the number of women online in developing countries from today's figure of 600 million to 1.2 billion in three years.
On average, across the developing world nearly 25 percent fewer women than men have access to the Internet, and the gender gap soars to nearly 45 percent in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa, according to the report.
The study also found that one in five women in India and Egypt believes the Internet is not appropriate for them.
According to Shelly Esque, vice president of Intel's Corporate Affairs Group and president of the Intel Foundation, the study demonstrates the enormity of the global Internet gender gap and more importantly, identifies specific ways the public, private and civil society sectors can work together to dramatically increase Internet access for women and girls.
"Intel has worked for decades to improve education around the world. If we can empower women and girls with the tools, resources and opportunities they need to succeed, we will transform their lives and the lives of everyone they touch," Esque said.
Seeing another 600 million women online would mean that 40 percent of women and girls in developing countries -- nearly double the share today -- would have access to the transformative power of the Internet. This goal, if realized, could potentially contribute an estimated US$13 billion to $18 billion to annual GDP across 144 developing countries.
"With the powerful capabilities the Internet enables -- to connect, to learn, to engage, to increase productivity, and to find opportunities -- women's lack of access is giving rise to a second digital divide, one where women and girls risk being left further and further behind." said Melanne Verveer, ambassador-at-large for Global Women's Issues at the U.S. Department of State.
"This will require knowledge, leadership, determination and collaboration among governments, public institutions, corporations, and civil society to tackle the wide range of gender-specific barriers to Internet access," Verveer said.
Yet for Michelle Bachelet, under-secretary-general and executive director, UN Women, there is wide acknowledgement around the globe that women's empowerment is a basic issue of social and economic justice and also essential to wider social progress and sustainable development.
"This report demonstrates that expanding access to the Internet and technology for women and girls is critical to their improved education, increased opportunity and ability to foster entrepreneurship in countries around the world," Bachelet said.
The report's findings are based on interviews and surveys on 2,200 women and girls living in urban and peri-urban areas of four focus countries: Egypt, India, Mexico and Uganda, as well as analyses of global databases. The findings were unveiled during a panel discussion today in Washington, D.C. as part of the 2-day international working forum on women, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and development hosted by the State Department and UN Women.
Support for the study is part of Intel's commitment to bridge this gender gap and empower people through innovation and education.
Through access to technology, scholarships and community learning programs, Intel provides girls and women with opportunities for quality education and personal growth. Intel's programs equip women with access to information needed to excel.
