EDSA: 20 years after....

A monument to the Filipino's struggle for freedom two decades ago. One can only wonder if the ideals it represents still exist today.

The most sought after piece of real estate in Philippine politics. He who has EDSA has Malacañang. That's why President Arroyo doesn't intend on yielding it, come hell or high water.

How ironic is it that the center of People Power twenty years ago is now off limits to those who wish to exercise their right to peaceable assembly? These police officers stand vigilant, ready to disperse any demonstrators who may insist on exercising this fundamental right.

These shields still bear the scars of yesterday's violent dispersal of those who seek the ouster of President Arroyo.

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.

It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%.

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...
