Soap that can cure all kinds of skin diseases

Thin hot air now lords the climate which creates humid all day long
which reminds us that its summer time.

Everybody knows that most of our jails all over the country that house
more than the capacity of inmates are the most affected during summer
because they develop skin allergies and diseases.

Skin diseases and allergies borne out of the extreme heat behind bars
can now be cured easily.

The Quezon City Female Detention (QCFD) of the Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology (BJMP) based inside Camp Karingal have
developed a soap that can cure all kinds of skin diseases especially
scabies usually found on inmates.

In a rare interview, QCFD Wardress Chief Inspector Elena Rocamora told
Philippine News Agency that the soap they have developed comes from
"Acapulco plant" which can be found in their backyard inside the
compound.

"We have lady inmates who are task in taking care of plants including
vegetables and other fruit bearing trees," said Rocamora as she
boosted that the main ingredients of the soap is organic.

She explains that the soap have been proven effective as they have
pass several tests conducted by Department of Science and Technology
and it's local counterpart in Quezon City before they were allowed to
sell it in the market.

"We are making our inmates busy so that they can momentarily forget
what brought them inside jail," Rocamora stressed as they teach them
to be more productive and earn which started in June last year.

Rocamora showed how they discipline inmates while they allow them most
of the day outside the cell busy making things that can even help them
earn while inside QCFD.

The wardress assured that the soap is safe and can even cure scabies
which usually occurred in congested jail because of the stream heat
during summer.

She said they sell the soap at P13 each for wholesale and P15 per
piece while inmates earn P1.50 per soap they made.

Rocamora said that the biggest bulk of their product for now goes to
different jails that placed their order and help the inmate soap
makers earn while in detention.

"For now, the National Capital Region had placed their order. They
asked us to deliver 3,000 soaps. Ipamimigay din yan sir sa mga jails
na sakop ng NCR na mangangailangan, [It will be distributed to all NCR
jails]" the QCFD wardress explained.

She said that soap making inside jail is now fast becoming one of
their favourite activities because the industry is seasonal. High
demand usually happens during summer.

San Mateo Jail also orders 100 pieces to cure their inmates who might
suffer skin diseases especially scabies. There are some private
practitioners who used to buy their soap after they have tested their
product effective.

Other products they make are bags, give away products for special
occasions like weddings and christenings and home displays. They also
join trade fairs to explore other possible markets and keep the
industry afloat.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Five more bodies were retrieved while rescuers were clearing the debris in the city of Baoding, the city government said in a statement late Monday. Another 27 people are still under treatment in hospital, it added. Two suspects, a 38-year-old man surnamed Ge and his 42-year-old girlfriend, turned themselves in to police Monday noon in the eastern province of Anhui.

U.S. economic data reacts to crude oil price

Crude prices rose on Thursday as U.S. economic data came in positive and continuing unrest in the Middle East caused supplies fears. Market sentiment was boosted after the Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate, much faster than 2.0 percent it estimated last month. It was the quickest quarterly growth rate since the fourth quarter of 2011, helped by faster inventory accumulation and export growth, which offset weak consumer spending and a drop in business investment. Meanwhile, a report from the Labor Department added to the upbeat tone. The report showed U.S. initial jobless claims declined 23,000 in the week ended Nov. 24 to 393,000, as effect of Hurricane Sandy faded. Pending home sales climbed 5.2 percent in October, surging to its highest level in more than five years, according to the National Association of Realtors. Traders were closely watching the situation in the Middle East, in particular the viole...
