Mountain resort have higher temperature averages

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) office here on Tuesday confirmed that this mountain resort will have higher temperature averages in the next few days due to the end of the northeasterly winds.

Wilson Locando, senior weather forecaster, said the easterly winds will have its advent during the middle of this week which will contribute to make temperatures here at the average of 15 to 27 degrees celsius.

Towards the end of the northeasterly winds affecting this part of the country, the PAGASA in the past three days still recorded cool 14 degrees celsius as the minimum temperature.

Locando said the cool temperature here even during the dry months of February to May make Baguio and suburbs as very attractive to visitors from the lowlands of the country whose temperatures have distinctly higher than these highlands of Cordilleras.

Meanwhile, the announcement of PAGASA on higher temperatures have prompted the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to once again raise the vigilance of all its forest guards and the communities against forest fires.

Forest fires are most prevalent in the area from this month to the middle of May when the dried "fuel" (dried leaves, grass and twigs) within forested zones easily catch fire.

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 ...

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...

Obama is the richest man in the world

I hold you to the words you are writing. You blamed Bush for the balanced budget disappearing. I don't know if you are capable of holding a memory that happen yesterday. You have forgotten that Bush was a war President, two wars in his term; Katrina & Rita, three major hurricanes that destroyed Florida and the gulf coast, Annual fires ravaging California that dependent on Bush to declare those as disaster areas too. Then the Democrats protest any move by the Republican to reform the Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac because of policy created by Democrats on home buyers that had no income. Greenlining was opposed by Democrats. Bush fought the good wars, maintained the economy until Obama and his handlers created a hoax about worst economy, and unemployment in 5%. People like you believed his lies, about high debts in $500 billion and worst unemployment and depression since 1932!   In less than a year Obama committed $3 trillion debts, before his term is over projected to $27 trillion, ...
