...children but among adults as well, despite its high preventability through vaccination. Measles, also known as rubeola or 7-day measles is often an epidemic disease and caused by a paramyxovirus which is a negative-strand RNA virus that enters the nose and throat by airborne transmission, quickly leading to systemic viremia. Symptoms of infection start with nasal discharge, redness of the eyes, cough and fever. As the disease progresses, fever and cough appear and rapidly intensify, and a rash appears. These symptoms usually persist for 7-10 days (Madigan et al. 2009). In the 1800’s, measles was a very dangerous disease and when people who come in contact with it will die, if they have never been exposed to the virus before. But with the widespread immunization programs which begun in the mid-1960’s, it now generally occurs in rather isolated outbreaks. However, there are still over 600,000 annual deaths, mostly in children, documented worldwide (Madigan et al. 2009). In the Philippines, measles is known to the common tongue as tigdas. The World Health Organization (WHO) Member States Data on reported measles cases and incidence rates documents that 6554 individuals were confirmed infected with measles in the Philippines (refer to Appendix A, page ). With this outbreak in 2011, Department of Health (DOH) launched a month-long nationwide program dubbed as Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas which offered free vaccinations for children from ages 8 months to 8 years old door-to-door...

...The word cleft means a gap or split between two things. A cleft lip is a split in the upper lip. This can happen on one or two sides of the lip, creating a wider opening into the nose. A cleft palate is a split in the roof of the mouth. This leaves a hole between the nose and the mouth. Sometimes a cleft lip and cleft palate occur together. Cleft lip and cleft palate are very common and occur in about 1 or 2 of every 1,000 babies born in the United States each year. Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects. This means they happen while a baby is developing. Normally, the mouth and nose of a baby develop between the first 6 and 12 weeks of growth inside the mother. In some babies, parts of the lips and roof of the mouth don't grow together. Because the lips and the palate develop separately, it's possible to have cleft lip alone, cleft palate alone, or both together. The use of ultrasound before birth of the offspring can detect the presence of cleft in an infant, but a physical examination of the lip, mouth, and nose can only confirm the true presence of the disorder. One good thing about diagnosis testing is that it has been known to rule out any other forms of abnormalities. What Happens to a Kid With Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate? A baby with cleft lip and cleft palate may have other difficulties that include feeding problems, middle ear fluid and hearing loss, dental problems, and speech problems. Several factors may increase the likelihood of a baby developing a...

...of the Moro massacre. This work concerned the engagement of five hundred and forty (540) U.S Army men with auxiliaries and the Moro of the Philippines which where six hundred in number. The man leading the U.S armed force Major General Leonard Wood and the U.S soldiers were armed with the latest assault rifles and small fire arms of their time, and artillery. The moro were villagers with clubs and other bludgeoning devices, machetes and crude muskets. The battle occurred in a crater. The moro were situated in the crater and american forces attacking, and the depth was fifty (50) feet. Before the battle began Major General Woods gave the command “Kill or capture the six hundred.” The battle began with both sides exchanging fire and the americans adding artillery to the engagement while the moro throwing bricks as their projectiles. Mark Twain reintegrates Maj. Gen. Woods order to “kIll the savages.” The battle was fought at a high pace and it ended in complete american victory. And Mark Twain remarks that the completeness of the victory was evident in that not one of the moro survived. The official report praised the troops with words like “heroism” and “gallantry” while morning the 15 soldiers lost and the thirty two men injured, but inadequately describing the nature of their injuries. The wounded were said to be scrapes on the elbow and nose. Mark Twain give comparisons of previous battles of the past in which there is only a small percentage of the two opposing forces losses...

...Local Literature According to Dean Francis Alfair, Filipino men are spending millions to look — and feel — good. As was stated in his article, “Machos in the Mirror”, a metrosexual like himself doesn’t generally think of himself as vain, but then there’s this incident where Mr. Alfair remember from high school: some of his friends were assembled at his house so that they could all ride together to a party. As they were getting dressed in their Spandau Ballet-inspired finery (then the height of fashion), one of the barkada produced, from out of the depths of his bag, a can of mousse, which none of them hapless males had ever seen or even heard of before. Naturally, they all had to squirt some into their hands and smear it on their hair. Not knowing that they were then supposed to blow-dry or otherwise style it, they left the house feeling snazzy, while looking pretty much the same as they had prior to applying the mousse — at most, their hair was a little damper, vaguely crispy in texture, and certainly stickier than before. But they felt utterly transformed. They felt really good looking. Mr. Alfair stated “These days (long past high school, thanks), I don’t exactly wander around feeling guapo, but according to a survey by global research firm Synovate last year, a good many Filipino males do — 48 percent of us, in fact. This is just a slightly lower percentage than males in the United States at 53 percent, and considerably higher than our Asian neighbors: 25 percent of Singaporean...

...the popular 1863 story "The Children of the Public", Edward Everett Hale used the term pork barrel as a homely metaphor for any form of public spending to the citizenry. After the American Civil War, however, the term came to be used in a derogatory sense. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the modern sense of the term from 1873.primarily to bring money to a representative's district. Pork Barrel is never a new concept. In fact, the Philippines may just have patterned the concept and idea from the world’s practices .Pork barrel and Janet Lim- Napoles are two inseparable terms now in the Philippines. The government’s chief auditor reported that a dozen senators and scores of congressmen had directed billions in pork-barrel money into fishy NGOs over three years. The money (given to members of Congress to spend in their constituencies on projects of their own choosing) was disbursed during Mrs. Arroyo’s term. But Mr. Aquino’s first reaction was to defend the pork-barrel scheme. That is because he is at the apex of the Philippines’ pyramid of political patronage, so has the final say on whether other politicians get their pork. When he was member of Congress, he received pork-barrel funds. In the absence of an effective political party system, the pork-barrel arrangement gives Mr. Aquino a degree of influence over Congress. The Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), a government program, has...

...occasionally endangered existence covering dramatic events in the Philippines from the death of Ninoy Aquino to the fall of Marcos and the presidency of Ninoy's widow Corazon. Even if the title seems a little crass, the three-part, nearly six-hour mini-series delivers as a dramatic political story and at the same time as an historical chronicle. Because the title and subject matter conjure memories of YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, A DANGEROUS LIFE invites comparison of the two films. The Weir film had one charismatic, enigmatic character, Billy Kwan. A DANGEROUS LIFE has no particularly fascinating character in a leading role. The main characters are involved in a nominal but dull love triangle. Who cares? In virtually every other regard, A DANGEROUS LIFE is a model for the political chronicle. It tells a piece of history most of us remember and tells in a dramatic and engrossing way a detailed history of the fall of Marcos. And it seems even more immediate for the extensive use of television news videotape. Actually for interest value, the lead parts are eclipsed by that of Imelda Marcos (played by Tessie Tomas). Most people think of her as a sort of international joke, a vain woman who had a huge collection of shoes. Under Robert Markowitz's direction, she is as hypnotic and deadly as a cobra, a consummate politician and actress. A Dangerous Life is a 1988 English-language Australian film about the final years of the Philippines under Ferdinand Marcos' rule, from the assassination of Benigno...

...POVERTY IN PHILIPPINES AMONG THE COLLEGE STUDENT Hannah Joyrose R. Abgona AAIM-1styr-Section1 ENGL.2 I. Introduction a. Outline I. Title “POVERTY IN PHILIPPINES AMONG THE COLLEGE STUDENT II. a.cause of poverty in the Philippines Poverty in the Philippines: Causes, Constraints, and Opportunities comprehensively analyzes the causes of poverty and recommends ways to accelerate poverty reduction and achieve more inclusive growth. The report provides an overview of current government responses, strategies, and achievements in the fight against poverty and identifies and prioritizes future needs and interventions. The analysis is based on current literature and the latest available data, including the 2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey. Other cause The incomplete land reform aiming at overthrowing the traditionally unequal agrarian society coupled with lack of support for farmers has been a long-lasting flaw in the governments’ development policies that can still massively reduce poverty in the Philippines. Thus, the role of the state remains central to redistribute more equally the wealth created in the country, in order to avoid leaving the poor behind. Supporting the extremely poor must be seen as a long-term investment and counterbalanced with future gains. However, mistrust in the government combined with corruption and/or incompetence makes the overall task much harder, even though it has led to the rise of militant movements that speak in favor of farmers to build...

...now come from traveling overseas to infected areas and bringing the disease back to the United States. The United States averages only about 60 cases of measles a year, and most of the cases have originated outside the country (Manual for the Surveillance of,” 2014). Identification of International Outbreak The last known measles outbreak, with a known origin, began with a group from Christian Aid Ministries, who went on a mission to the Philippines in 2014. The Philippines, at the time, were experiencing a very large measles outbreak, with over 30,000 suspected cases being reported in the Asian nation. The U.S. experienced 23 measles outbreaks in 2014, including one large outbreak of 383 cases, occurring primarily among unvaccinated Amish communities in Ohio. Many of the cases in the U.S. in 2014 were associated with cases brought in from the Philippines (Manual for the Surveillance of,” 2014). Details of International Outbreak Forty-nine percent of the cases in the U.S. in 2014 were associated with cases brought in from the Philippines. Of the 288 cases, 280 were associated with importations from at least 18 different countries. The source for 8 of the cases could not be identified. 1 case from each country of Pakistan, Dubai/Germany/England, France, Netherlands, Republic of Georgia, Brazil, Chile, Canada, Indonesia, Thailand/South Korea, Micronesia, Saipan, Singapore, South East Asia and Vietnam were imported.

It was every woman’s song as they dream to experience Barbie’s life. And who would have thought that some women was so much dedicated to look like Barbie and some are just born with Barbie’s appearance. Here are some of the girls in different countries who really resemble the looks of Barbie 1. Valeria Lukyanova The most controversial and the creepiest human barbie comes from Ukraine. She’s Valeria Lukyanova, 21, a good looking blonde woman that turns herself to look like Barbie by putting piles of make up and blue eye contact lenses. She also underwent a series of plastic surgeries that include enhancing her breast, tucking and nipping her waist and carving her face to achieve a physique and facial features of Barbie. She spent almost $80000 for her Barbie looks. Other people said that she’s too creepy and lifeless. Maybe because of her big, glassy blue eyes and her tiny waist!

...vaccinated, allowing the disease to continue spreading, eventually jumping the Mexican border (Shute, 2014). Rubeola, or more commonly, the Measles is spread easily from person to person through sneezing and coughing. The virus lives in the throat or nose mucus of an infected individual, and can thrive in the air space where it left the body for as long as two hours (“Measles (Rubeola) Topic-Overview,” 2015). Therefore, an individual who may have had zero contact with an infected person may still contract the disease from that person by simply crossing paths. Obsolete to Outbreak-Health and Vaccination Trends After Rubeola vaccine became available in the U.S. in 1963, reported cases of the measles plummeted, with any reported case being considered extremely rare today. Individuals born before 1957 were at a very high risk of contracting the disease before age 15, resulting in four hundred to five hundred deaths each year. An increased risk is simply not today’s climate, with the disease even reported “eliminated” in 2000. Therefore, the spike of over one hundred cases the first quarter of the year in 2014 raised a lot of questions in the health community (“Measles (Rubeola) Topic-Overview,” 2015). A close look at the Philippines through a socio-economic lens is necessary to understand the beginnings of this outbreak. Twenty five percent of the Filipino population...
