"Our Steel Is Not Like Banana" - Engr. Morales

During a meeting with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) last May 11, 2018, Senator Nikki Coseteng and Engineer Emilio Morales presented a series of questions directed towards the steel manufacturers regarding the use of Quenched Tempered (QT/TMT) steel. 

After they presented their queries, Wellington Tong, chair of the PAGASA Steel, stated that it would be difficult to answer all the presenters’ questions. Tong then proceeded to explain the lengthy process of manufacturing Quenched Tempered (QT/TMT) steel, at the same time clearing up a few misunderstandings and answering some questions.

Former Solon Accuses Steel Manufacturers Of Dilatory Tactics

“Nililihis nila ang usapan. Iniiba nila ang topic samantala simple lang naman ang tanong (They are veering away from the topic). They want the discussions to be technical when I only need a yes or no answer. Are quenched steel rebars safe to use in a seismic zone 4 country like the Philippines?”

In 2010, Engineer Emilio Morales presented the study “A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER 2 – THE USE OF QT OR TMT BARS IN SEISMIC ZONE 4” where he said that QT/TMT rebars behave quite differently under Cyclic loading or earthquake shaking and are also very much affected by heating, welding, bending, galvanizing and threading procedures employed in their use particularly in high rise buildings under Seismic Zone 

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - What To Do With The Dinosaurs?

It has been 3 years since dinosaurs were given light again with Jurassic World and it was a huge success. Thus the pressure of reopening this franchise would lead to more films in the future. This year, we are now given a follow up with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

However for this sequel, some of the cast have been changed leaving only the main ones like Owen (Chris Pratt) and laire (Bryce Dallas Howard) as the leads of this film. Though there are new cool characters added, they shine only because they filled up the gap of the characters  who left. 

Though it might spell the end of Isla Nublar where Jurassic World is, the dilemma now is either to keep the dinosaurs or not. Which gives way to people in the middle who wants to use them. So it becomes a film of Dino lovers, Dino poachers, and  Dino haters. Of course Owen and Claire are on the dinos side.

Sid & Aya: Not a Love Story - Or Is It?

Who would have imagined that Dingdong Dantes and Anne Curtis will be paired again for a movie?  Sid & Aya: Not a Love Story brings them together in this film which they said is not a love story, or is it?

Sid (Dantes) and Aya (Curtis) come from different worlds but both are driven by their passion. Sid is a stock broker, while Aya has a lot of jobs to fund her dream of living abroad. The two met and made a professional agreement of for companionship to cope with Sid's insomia. From there, being more connected to each other leads to the complication of their terms. 

Is Sid and Aya, really not a love story? I feel its complicated, and you have to see it to judge it. Because it some perspective, it does, but in some aspect it doesn't. Kinda confusing, yet I think it will also depend on personal perspective. The story was nicely told with less pretentious story lines which can disconnect it from the viewers. It did not dwell on the social status of the two which has been the forever cliche of these types of movies.
