Guess who's back?

Image hosted by Photobucket.comVirgilio Garcillano, the controversial former COMELEC Commissioner implicated in the "Hello Garci" brouhaha five months ago is reportedly back in the Philippines according to his wife.

Just when everyone seemed to be just about ready to close the book on the Gloriagate scandal, Garcillano's return suddenly brings new life into the issue.

So, did she or didn't she?

This is only one of the tons of questions that await him if he ever does make himself available for questioning either in Congress or in the Senate.

Of course, whether his return was a genuine attempt to return to the fold of the law and disclose what he truly knows, or a scripted attempt by Malacañang or perhaps even the opposition to muddle and manipulate the issue, that still remains to be seen. Anything said at this point will just be idle speculation.

Personally, I do hope he comes out with the truth. He is in a position to once and for all establish the veracity of the accusations against the President, assuming he was not bought or threatened.

And just possibly what it truly takes to get to the bottom of this issue, hold liable those who are accountable, if any, and close the book on this controversy once and for all.

Only then can this country move on.

Let us wait and see.

Quaere Verum.

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19

It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe
