The latest top trending news is the intercept of nearly a ton of shabu one in Laos and one in Thailand allegedly bound for the PHL.
It is rumored to be for a vape owneer and connected to high govt official. That is very embarrassing. The previous admin was a drug buster, the new one is a....
They say it was the 8th trip; the first 7 were not intercepted...
We await the results of the investigation and verified reports...
We had this in the locality. Several schoolchildren and teachers (including a principal) died in a field trip to Batangas. Did we stop this or took safety measures to prevent similar incidents. I believe from the number of buses Ii still see on the road, the practice continues.
And so we had 25 dead,children and teachers from a fire running on LPG in Thailand. Then we see video of enumeration of safety features of buses.
Some interim measures are in order:
1. Stop field trips immediately.
2. Subject buses to be used for safety inspection and upgrade, retrofitted with safety features.
3. There should be a reminder of safety feature of the bus before each trip, and safety cards at the seat.
4. Training of bus personnel on safety and evacuation during fires.
5. Rule out buses that are deemed dangerous eg running on LPG, on hydrogen, on EVs unless they can be proven that they are fire proof.
Kalunos lunos ang nangyari sa mga batang nagfield trip sa Thailand. Nasunog ang CNG powered bus na sinakyan nila 23 estudyante at guro binawian ng buhay.
Ang RE ay may dalang panganib gaya ng EV na sumisiklab, at gaya ng bus na ito.
Prayers at condolence sa mga pamilya ng batnng ito
Philippines is not poor. Five years ago, ADB has removed the Philippines from the list of LDC (Less Developed Country) and is no longer eligible for aid/donation. Loans yes and other assistance
As per Wiki, Philippines is
34th largest economy in the world
3rd largest economy in ASEAN (after Indonesia and Thailand)
6th in Southeast Asia after Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. (We could be richer had we not relinquished claim to Sabah, part of Sultanate of Sulu (thanks to some traitors who sold RP out to Malaysia)
That is a good note we have to remember about the wealth of the Philippines
GDP of Philippines as of 2016 is $2,951.07 vs $5,907.91 of Thailand and fast rising Vietnam $2,185.69
