LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines (Xinhua) - In the province of Albay, students will be welcoming the new school year learning about climate change.

The concept of a warm planet may be a difficult thing to grasp for both young and adult learners. But local officials in the province assured that they have simplified the ideas with the help of teachers and scientists. They have then developed and included these ideas in the regular curricula of students in both elementary and high schools.

It’s great that Ateneo will be hosting a non-political, private sector summit on the proposed partition of Camarines Sur into two provinces through a new province covering the fourth legislative district in the Caramoan Peninsula. Indeed, ABOUT TIME we divided Cam Sur. But, of course, the devil will be in the details. Hence, the conference could very well thresh all these things out in time for the next session of Congress.

A Porsche. Worth 4.5 million pesos. A bachelor. With his own money. But a President, the Father of an impoverished People.

Right or wrong? In good or bad taste? It depends on how you’d look at it.

For one, with all due respect to the president’s personal and private rights, his purchase could be a case of thoughtless extravagance.

We recall Article 25 of the Civil Code of the Philippines on human relations:

If Filipinos had dreamed that public health care may improve under the new Aquino government, which packaged itself as an agent of change with a “health for all” agenda during the election campaign, its 2010 performance would come as a nasty shock. The recently signed national budget and the cuts it inflicted on public health spending for 2011 signify the opposite of change.
