'The Born Expeditions: Tale of Two Whales' finale on GMA-7's Born to be Wild

For almost two weeks, Doc Nielsen Donato and his team have been documenting whales and dolphins in Bohol's seas for The Born Expeditions: The Tale of Two Whales. 

They filmed the behavior of spinner dolphins, melon-headed whales, and bottlenose dolphins.  Until Doc's team spotted the biggest whale yet - a Bryde's whale.  Along with other marine mammals and the biggest fish in the world, the whale shark, Bryde's whales were once hunted in Pamilacan.  After what seemed like years of "absence" from Bohol's seas, a Bryde's whale sighting was finally reported by researchers in 2010.  And as Born to be Wild's footage shows, the Bryde's whale is indeed back in Bohol.

HEALTHY LYF: New Study About Dengue and Green Cross New Lotion Against Insects

A recent study about a breed of mosquitoes called Aedes albopictus which has been known to carry the Dengue Virus has now been discovered to bite not only on daytime but also at night. This sets an alarm to the public as it is not exclusive in the day. The study was made by the Philippine Association of Entomologists (PAE) which  reported an increased threat of dengue against communities. Through a clinical study conducted by Filipino entomologists, it has been confirmed that a dengue-lamok species (dengue-carrying mosquitoes) bite not only during the day but at night as well. 

This breakthrough discovery debunks a common belief that dengue-lamok only bite at daytime, and that there is little or no threat of dengue at night.


“Many people believe that dengue lamok only bite during the day. This makes them feel more complacent at night, as they think there’s no more risk of dengue infection. However, this new study shows that the danger of dengue is now more serious, since infection can occur both during the day and at night,” said Dr. Barbara Laviña Caoili, PAE Secretary.

PAGTUTULUNGAN.ORG: Sandwich Heroes Will feed 40,000 Children With WFP

Last year, we were introduced to a special fund raising project, Sandwich Heroes campaign from Unilever Food Solutions, a subsidiary of Unilever. And it has raised Php 400,000 in the Philippines for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). The donation will allow WFP to feed 40,000 children under its school meals programme in conflict-affected areas of Central Mindanao, particularly in Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte.

“We are very grateful to Unilever for its longstanding partnership with WFP in the Philippines, including its latest creative efforts to help raise awareness of the issue of hunger in the country,” said WFP Philippines Representative and Country Director Stephen Anderson.


“The funds Unilever has donated will help WFP and its government counterparts, the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Education, provide hot nutritious meals for children in remote, conflict-affected areas.”      


Thirteen restaurants took part in Unilever Food Solution’s pioneering project, which involved each restaurant offering their signature or best sandwiches for the campaign. Unilever Food Solutions made a donation to WFP for each featured sandwich sold from October 2011 to January 2012.
