Effects of Japan's Nuclear Meltdown in the Philippines

After the devastating effects of the 8.9 magnitude quake on Japan, the people are now facing another danger. After the tsunami, burning houses, lost lives and scarcity on food, here comes the nuclear meltdown!

To prevent the disaster from growing even worst, the officials are continuing on finding ways on how to lower the temperature on their reactors. They also claims that there would highly be a hydrogen explosion as the reactor continue to melt down. They're trying to pour sea water in it to help the reactor to cool down!

More than 170,000 people were being evacuated as a precaution. Officials said that there's radioactivity released but at the moment, it is small enough not to pose any health threats.

However, on a complete meltdown, the collapse on the power plant's system and its ability to keep its temperature under control, could release uranium and other dangerous contaminants into the environment and could pose a major, widespread health risks.

Two days after the quake, there's an explosion inside the nuclear plant that destroys the wall, officials are trying their best to hold and contain the situation from overheating and eventually melting down.

An estimate of 160 people were taken to the hospital due exposure on the radiation. On the 8.9 quake itself, the dead toll is already 1,000, though police claim's that it would reach up to 10,000 as days gone by.

A lot of people are being tested on radioactivity as we speak. Fear are being held within their lives as they seem hopeless on the tragedy.

According to the Philippine scientists, they can assure the public that the feared Japan's nuclear meltdown will not affect the Philippines whatsoever. Though we can't be certain, its best that we always update ourselves regarding the issue!

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste

The Great Badjang or Giant Taro

As we try to come up with things to do to make our days productive this Pandemic, a lot of people are leaning towards Gardening. Here in the Philippines, people are becoming crazy with a certain plant. It has large leaves which resembles an Elephant’s ear. Badjang, as we call it here in the Philippines, scientifically called Alocasia macrorrhizos, is a species of flowering plant in the arum family that it is native to rainforests of Island Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland and has long been cultivated here in the Philippines, many Pacific islands, and elsewhere in the tropics. It is also famous as Giant Taro. The giant taro was originally domesticated in the Philippines, but are known from wild specimens to early Austronesians in Taiwan. From the Philippines, they spread outwards to the rest of Island Southeast Asia and eastward to Oceania where it became one of the staple crops of Pacific Islanders. They are one of the four main species of aroids (taros) cultivated by Austron

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan.
