"Last year, heat waves forced millions of children in the #Philippines out of #school. It was the first time that soaring temperatures had caused widespread class suspensions, prompting a series of changes.

This school year started two months earlier than usual, so the term ends before peak heat in May. Classes have been rearranged to keep children out of the midday heat, and schools are equipped with fans and water stations."

Health groups urge the World Health Organization (WHO) to revoke the PH's nomination to lead the 78th World Health Assembly (WHA), citing serious concerns about the country's recent engagements with the tobacco industry.

The PH health secretary Teodoro Herbosa recently posed for photos while accepting donations from Philip Morris International (PMI).

GMA News Online · Health groups urge WHO to drop PH’s WHA nom over tobacco industry tiesBy SHERYLIN UNTALAN, GMA Integrated News

If we depend on other countries, it's not healthy either. We have a history with foreign entities: the British, the Japanese, and the Portuguese; they colonized us and exploited us for resources. Then, China's presence encroaches into our EEZ. Philippine politicians are claiming Sabah. It seems to me that we have no one to trust, not even ourselves. It seems to me that it's best for the government to just go with the flow, enjoy the world, maintain our stability, and engage in politics and democracy while doing what is best at the moment, including being friends with both China and the US, Australia, and the countries you mentioned. Yes, better training with them than doing nothing. We are a relatively new country, lacking in many resources, knowledge, and ideologies, and we have been exploited. The local politicians are also corrupt. We just do what we are capable of at the moment, being ourselves. #malaysia #politics #politicalscience #sabah #philippines #china #usa #australia #uk
