Every year, we are celebrating International Women's Day. This event is being remembered every 8th day of March as a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. This article will introduce you to a lady who is very empowering among women. Meet Mary Rose Alejo. An Aeta, who is in her early stage of being, so badly wanted to be a Doctor, and I bet she would, someday. The Aeta, Agta, or Dumagat, are collective terms for several Filipino indigenous peoples who live in various parts of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. They are also known as "Philippines Negrito", and included in the wider Negrito grouping of Southeast Asia, with whom they share superficial common physical characteristics such as dark skin tones, short statures, frizzy to curly-hair, and a higher frequency of naturally lighter hair colour (blondism) relative to the general population.

According on the latest Speedtest® Global Index report from internet analysis firm Ookla, the Philippines ranks as having 5th fastest internet in Southeast Asia. Could you believe that? Yes, the internet connectivity in our country is having great progress over the years. Before we get so deep into this, just so you know, there are four different types of residential internet connections in the Philippines; the mobile connection or the cellular data, the dial up, the Digital Subscriber Line or the DSL and the Fiber Optic. Now, having said that, let’s enumerate the “Providers” in our country, you’ll be surprised how many they are really: ·                  PLDT Home ·          One Sky ·          Converge ·          Globe at Home ·          Eastern Communications ·          Cheetah Broadband ·          Kabayan Broadband ·          StreamTech ·          Integranet ·          Net1 ·          Red Powered by Cignal ·          Royal Cable DITO Telecommunications

 The Philippine Eagle was said to be near extinction, yet, as sad as it may seem, people are not that eager to save them. The Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), also known as the monkey-eating eagle or great Philippine eagle, is a critically endangered species of eagle of the family Accipitridae which is endemic to forests in the Philippines. It has brown and white-colored plumage, a shaggy crest, and generally measures 86 to 102 cm (2.82 to 3.35 ft) in length and weighs 4.04 to 8.0 kg (8.9 to 17.6 lb). The Philippine eagle is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length and wing surface area. The Philippine eagle is endemic to the Philippines and can be found on four major islands: eastern Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao. The largest numbers of eagles reside on Mindanao, with between 82 and 233 breeding pairs. Only six pairs are found on Samar, two on Leyte, and a few on Luzon. It can be found in Northern Sierra Madre National Park on Luzon and

What could you possibly find digging rocks and soil and mud? With the help of a priest and local firefighters, a medieval stockpile brimming with silver ingots, gold rings and more than a handful of silver coins was recently discovered in a Polish cornfield by an archaeologist. "Lord, may you help your servant Maria," it was written or rather engraved in a Gold Ring, writings is in Cyrillic inscription. The nearly 900-year-old hoard, found in Słuszków, a village in west-central Poland, held a one-of-a-kind treasure. That ring may have belonged to a princess; the coin stash was certainly fit for one. "The newfound hoard consists of over 6,600 items — silver coins and silver clumbs (tiny ingots) … wrapped in three linen pouches, packed in a basket and then put in the ceramic vessel," Adam Kędzierski, an archaeologist at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences, told Live Science in an email. Kędzierski said he wouldn't hav

In our generation today, flying cars are slowly becoming a reality. According to Wiki, a flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function both as a personal car or automobile and as an aircraft. As used here, this includes vehicles which drive as motorcycles when on the road. The term "flying car" is also sometimes used to include hovercars. Many prototypes have been built since the early 20th century, using a variety of flight technologies. Most have been designed to take off and land conventionally using a runway, although VTOL projects are increasing. None has yet been built in more than a handful of numbers. Their appearance is often predicted by futurologists, and many concept designs have been promoted. But their failure to become a practical reality has led to the catchphrase "Where's my flying car?” as a paradigm for the failure of predicted technologies to appear. Flying cars are also a popular theme in fantasy and science fict

Having a pet seems to be the best way to overcome boredom as well as surpass having a feeling of being alone. Some people tend to domesticate Cats, some wanted Birds, and some are inclined to take care some variety of aquarium Fish while most of us, of course, the most popular, would love to have a Dog. The term 'a dog is a man's best friend' was first used way back in 1789 by King Frederick of Prussia. He’s claimed to say, “The only, absolute and best friend that a man has, in this selfish world, the only one that will not betray or deny him, is his Dog.” Research suggests dog ownership may improve heart health, decrease depression, and even help you live longer – it’s a symbiotic relationship that has been as beneficial for humans, as much as our canine companions. And it’s a bond that stretches back at least 15,000 years. That's one possibility at least; some fossil evidence suggests domestication as far back as 30,000 years. If that’s true then as James Gorman

After the continued success of the sensational group BTS, they released yet another teaser for their latest Single “Yet to Come, The Most Beautiful Moment”. Just for a quick reference, BTS also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a South Korean boy band that was formed in 2010 and debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. The septet—consisting of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—co-writes and co-produces much of their own output. Originally a hip hop group, their musical style has evolved to include a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth and coming of age, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work also often references literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline. “Yet to Come, The Most Beautiful Moment” teaser video lasted 35 seconds only. The scene was on a sandy desert-like locat

Waiting in line just to pay your bills? Or have you experienced a huge hassle just to pay for something? Worry not, Alibaba just launched their newest craze on paying system!

Every Olympics event, we sent our chosen one’s to represent our country. Along with them is our pride, hopes and prayers that one of them might bring home the long waited medal, might it be Bronze, Silver or of course, the very-long-waited GOLD. The Rio Olympics is still on going as of this writing, and one great Filipino athlete have given the Philippines a great honor, a Silver Medal. Hidilyn Diaz finished with a lift of 200kg at the women’s 53kg category in weightlifting on Monday, August 8, 2016. Since Onyok Velasco’s triumph at the 1996 games in Atlanta, we sure have hoped a Gold on that one, well, Diaz’ silver medal is the country’s first. “Ginawa ko yung best para sa country," Diaz told CNN Philippines. "Yun lang talaga yung goal, tapos mag medal. Bronze lang talaga yung aim namin ng coach ko.” Initially thought to be a two-horse race between Chinese-Taipei’s Hsu Shu-Ching and China’s Li Yajun, the rest of the field was seen to be competing for the bronz

It’s been a long time since a lot of nearby countries of the Philippines tries to claim some of our sea regions. There were rumors as to what would be the biggest reason why they are doing this claims. Personally, it’s not just for expansion of territories but rather because of minerals. Located in the Philippine Sea, East of Luzon, Benham Plateau, also known as the Benham Rise, is a 13-million-hectare undersea region rich in minerals and huge natural gas deposits. Unlike the Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea, Benham Rise is not subject to any maritime boundary disputes and claims, yet. China and other Southeast Asian countries try to claim some of the country’s sea region. On April 2012, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) has approved the Philippines’ territorial claim to Benham Rise, which the Philippine government claimed as an extension of the Philippines’ continental shelf.  Benham Rise, is a seismically active undersea r

Whenever there’s hardships to overcome, a lot of people most likely tend to give up than persevere. Depending on the factors affecting your decision, it is always hard to understand the situation and then try to push thru and go on. Have you asked yourself that whenever you find yourself on a bad situation what should you do? Do you push everything to its limit or you just find it convenient to give up? I have found a rather great article about that, The Art of Giving Up. According to that article, the world is obsessed with stories of success, and yes, it is. There is a well-known concept in the management literature called "the survivor bias," which refers to the erroneous conclusions that researchers draw from focusing excessively on successful organizations and people. Pick up any magazine, and you will see the survivor bias in action: the stories are almost always about the successful; very few stories focus on the failures. You might wonder why someone sho
