An official of the European Union (EU) Delegation to the Philippines confirmed that around 40 European companies will be visiting the country this month alone, to explore possibilities in the local renewable sector: particularly in the subsectors of hydropower, solar generation and wind power. The 40 companies hailing from 13 European countries will be flying in for the 4th Energy Smart Philippines happening this October 26.  They are on the lookout for business opportunities, partnerships and are also considering investing in electric vehicles. “The idea is to try to assist and even increase the number of electric vehicles, especially for Manila and in the Philippines in general,” said Enrico Strampelli who is the head of cooperation of the EU Delegation to the country. While we still have to wait for the results of the business opportunities and the prospect of investing in electric vehicles, Rappler reported that 4 contracts with a total value of 11 million euros are pushing through, and are about to be signed.  All contracts are about the utilization of renewable energy in the far-flung areas of the Philippines. “We have full pledges.  We have three in Mindanao, for access to electricity. The focus is in Mindanao,” according to Strampelli. This supports the statement of Guenter Taus, the president of the European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ECCP). “The EU has been actively supporting the Philippines in engaging stakeholders towards creating and implementing policies and programs that provide increased efficiency in energy use and renewable energy development,” he Read More …

Pet Identification Made Easy with iChips Now Available for Free in Makati City

Oct 192017
 

Identification of lost pets is now made easy with the city-wide micro-chipping program project of Makati City, the first local government in the country to use the technology in a large-scale setting. The “PET iChips” are implanted on the shoulders of dogs and cats so owners can track the lost pets through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Once implanted, they are activated for life unless the chip is surgically removed. The PET iCHIP will serve as a permanent pet ID and is read by passing a microchip scanner over the dog’s shoulder blades. The PET iChips are the passive-type microchips which work without batteries. The bio-thermal microchips, no larger than a grain of rice, will contain information about the dog and its owner as well as data on when the dog was vaccinated against rabies. These details will be uploaded to Makati City’s database which will allow the Makati City Veterinary Services Office (VSO) to closely monitor and check the number of dogs which have been given anti-rabies shots. The PET iChips are given for free to Makati residents, and implanted on pets by licensed veterinarians from the VSO. The PET iCHIPs can be implanted on both mature dogs and puppies. The microchips are especially useful to pet owners who travel abroad with their dogs since the chips to be used comply with international standards and the 15-digit numeric code can be scanned anywhere. “Through the microchipping program, we are protecting both pet dogs and their owners. The technology will enable Read More …

But there is more to it than merely holding on to your money. How did successful people do it? Here are 7 simple tips. Keep learning. Learning does not stop after you step out of college. It is a continuous process of growing as a person. Joining training workshops allows you to explore new things, which can help you on the road to success. Choose a job that matches your skills. My advice to parents is to talk to their children about choosing a career that will truly fit their skills and complement whatever they learn in school. Become the best person that you can be. Great people always find time to improve themselves. This will assure you of having a better standing in your company. Diversify your income. Getting rich is difficult if you tie yourself to a single income. Consider engaging even in just small businesses like food carts or online selling.

Putting money in the stock market may not be that common among average-income families. However, there are other forms of investments which they can take part in. Some of these are: Savings and checking accounts College Investment Fund Retirement Fund Insurance Real Estate Read More …

Regina Paz (Gina) Lopez has been honored with the 2017 Seacology Prize in Berkeley, California – the first Filipino to have won the trophy in the award’s 27-year-history of recognizing world champions of islands ecosystems. Gina Lopez was cited by Seacology as a prominent Filipino environmental activist who continues to fight for the welfare of island communities in the Philippines despite powerful opposition from political and business interests. “In recognition of her untiring environmental advocacy in the face of powerful opposition, Regina Paz (Gina) Lopez of the Philippines has been awarded the 2017 Seacology Prize” went the citation in ceremonies held early October. Receiving her award, Lopez remarked, “The Philippines is a country of 7,000 islands, and I hope this award will affect the entire country. And because the Philippines has so many diverse ecosystems, and so many animals and plants that occur nowhere else, saving our islands has direct global impact as well.” Lopez has been an environmental advocate for 15 years and had a brief stint as the head of the highest environmental body in the country, the Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR), until her banning of open-pit mining got her into trouble with the Philippine legislature and eventually got her voted out of the national agency. Before her appointment as DENR secretary, Lopez was leader of the Save Palawan Island movement which lobbied against the environmental impact of mining on communities and drew attention to the plight of villagers who suffer from the resulting toxins Read More …
