ABS-CBN Foundation launches Bayanijuan sa Calauan

By: Faizza Farinna T. Tanggol

CALAUAN, Laguna–Informal settlers living along the Pasig River and esteros now have hope for a better life thanks to “Bayanijuan sa Calauan”, the 107-hectare resettlement project that supports the Kapit Bisig para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) movement.

The National Housing Authority (NHA) has provided the scenic Calauan site adjacent to the Nagcarlan Mountain Range in Laguna. “This resettlement site is actually owned by the National Housing Authority. We [at NHA] had a memorandum of agreement with ABS-CBN Foundation where we gave them authority to manage the Calauan housing project,” explained Rico Laxa, General Manager of NHA, “There are 800 houses here ready for the families, we just have to fix it a bit-paint the houses and have doors and windows installed. I’m sure the site will definitely improve with the help of ABS-CBN Foundation and their partners.”

KBPIP, a partnership between ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources through the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), has taken on the challenge of rehabilitating the river waters in seven years.

An important phase in achieving the rehabilitation process of Pasig River is to relocate the estimated 4,000 families currently living near Pasig River and waterways leading up to it, as these households contribute to 60% domestic wastes in the Pasig River, according to a PRRC study. Bayanijuan sa Calauan, the official resettlement site of KBPIP, will provide shelter, livelihood, child welfare, environmental initiatives, microfinance and disaster-risk reduction programs to the families.

“Bayanijuan sa Calauan is about showing how the Filipino spirit can be, how we can all work together,” Gina Lopez, managing director of ABS-CBN Foundation, clarified during the site’s inauguration, “This is an ideal place, where we can bring the informal settlers from Pasig River to transform and improve their lives through Bayanijuan.” Read the rest of this entry

Another history for the Filipino boxers were written today.

In the local fight scene at Ynares Sports Center, Villoria defeated Mexican Omar Soto by split decision , almost 6 months after he lost  to Carlos Tamarao of Columbia.

Viloria was in control of the fight in the first five rounds but Soto  came on beginning round six and took the fight. Viloria won with the scores 93-97, 97-93 and 97-93.

Viloria was quoted saying “I thought this was a good first step in getting myself back into championship form. It wasn’t pretty but I got the job done this time. I didn’t want to make it too dramatic. I put my boxing skills to do the work and I just wanted to come out there safe, shake a little bit of cobwebs out and I think I did that tonight.”

Meanwhile in Puerto Rico, Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire won by technical knockout  against the hard-hitting Hernan “Tyson “ Marquez of Mexico. His won was a total contrast to the fate of  Bernabe Concepcion and Eden Sonsona who both lost on their respective fights.

Donaire stressed it was definitely his last fight as a super flyweight.

Surprisingly, Donaire was wearing a yellow boxing short with an “Aquino” label at the back instead of his name. I guess this is to show his support to the new president of the Philippines P-Noy.

Filipino Scientist Discovered PainKiller From Snails

Who would have thought that a killer snail can literally kill a pain? This is how Dr. Baldomera M. Olivera presented his new discovery, now commercially known as Prialt.

Dr. Baldomero Olivera

Prialt is taken from cone snail’s venom which contains conotoxins. Dr, Baldomera and his team from University of Utah found out that the cone of of venomous marine snails characterized several dozen neurotoxins. This neurotoxins are now widely used in neuroscience research.

In 1992, Olivera’s team identified the analgesic-like qualities of conopeptide from the cone’s snail. An active ingredient called Ziconotide was found and later was made available to the public with a trade name  Prialt.

One of the available pain killer prior to Prialt is morphine. However, morphine is narcotic – a habit-forming substance (addictive)  and Read the rest of this entry
