Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines - Nestled amidst the lush landscapes of our beautiful Leyte lies our Baybay City, birthplace of a man whose legacy transcends geographical boundaries. Carlos P.

The Flu Lie and the Cost of Denial
November 27, 2025 — 03:00 NYC The claim that COVID-19 was “just rebranded flu” is not only false, it’s dangerous. We know this for several reasons: Genetic sequencing: SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was fully sequenced in early 2020. Its genome is distinct from influenza viruses (Wu et al., 2020; Zhou et al., 2020). Clinical differences: COVID-19 caused widespread clotting, long-term organ damage, and what we now call “long COVID.” The flu does not behave this way.

Para sa daghang mga senior, ang hapon dili sila nagtan-aw sa telebisyon o naglibog sa usa ka crossword puzzle, apan nagkatulog sa usa ka walay katapusang pagkatulog.

Would Gandhi Approve of the Stealth Runner? Examining Non-Violent Resistance in the West Philippine Sea
The West Philippine Sea (WPS) faces numerous challenges, including illegal fishing and maritime disputes. The Stealth Runner project, designed to be a discreet vessel for observation and documentation, aims to address these issues. But would Mahatma Gandhi, a champion of non-violence, approve of this approach? While Gandhi's core philosophy emphasized non-violent resistance, his actions weren't always rigid. The Quit India Movement of 1942, while primarily non-violent, saw instances of defiance against British rule.

As life expectancy increases and societies age, it is imperative to address this often-overlooked issue.
