3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money.

Oil overpriced, Recto maintains

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ==================== Former socio-economic planning secretary Ralph Recto reasserted that fuel pump prices early this year were overpriced by as much as P8 per liter. Recto issued the statement Friday in response to claims by his successor, National Economic Development Authority (Neda) Director General Augusto Santos, and Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes that his claim of an overprice in fuel prices was without basis. Recto said it was the technical staff of Neda itself that had formulated the method of approximating at least a benchmark in the cost of fuel to compute the overprice to about P8 in April of this year.

Healthy Oils Part 3

My previous post was about healthy oils but the content was about fats. So how is this related to the title? Well, in my research, I wanted to see how the fats in the oil helps in maintaining good health. So what is the judgement? Olive oil - good for salads, pan fry or light cooking with medium to low heat. Low poly-unsaturated fat content. High mono-unsaturated fat. So low to medium heat will not change the fat into trans fat. But high heat will. Virgin Coconut oil - good for salad, light cooking to deep frying. The hight saturated fat content doesn't make it turn into trans fat. Canola oil - light cooking to deep frying. High mono-unsaturated fat, low poly-unsaturated. So good for cooking. Flaxseed oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only. Safflower oil - high poly-unsaturated fat, low mono-unsaturated fat. Not recommended for cooking or any type of heat. Salad or directly taken only....
