MEG Lowrey once said, "Being a single parent is not a life full of struggles but a journey for the strong."

Being a parent entails a great deal of responsibility and difficult decision making. It's not easy to be a parent. Some days you will feel you've done a good job; other days you'll fear you're the worst parent in the world. Every parent feels the same one way or another.

When marriage ends, a child is faced with a lifetime of challenges. A mother, on the other hand, could not afford to see and let her children suffer ...

IMAGINE 33 years of crushed hopes. But we'll get to that.

First, a cursory look at what the Department of Agrarian Reform in Central Visayas (DAR 7) had done over the past few months.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) ensures a steady market for the ARBOs' produce, which include vegetables, fruits and other farm products. It's the DAR's matching program while it initiated ...

In his first speech to Congress, US President Joe Biden answered the question "Can our democracy provide for the needs of all Americans" with a categorical "Yes."

US democracy is more than slightly off the rails these days. But it no doubt can get back on track to provide all its citizens with more than just their basic needs because it possesses the core ingredients of a representative democracy.

Its two political parties represent countervailing socio-political philosophies and styles of governance. When Americans go to the polls, they vote for the governance style (Republican or Democrat) that they think ...

When you die or become permanently disabled, your business may die or be permanently disabled on the same day—not because something wrong was done— but because nothing was done! Founders and key business leaders should never think they are supermen. The truth is, they will soon die. No ifs or buts. It is just a matter of time.

The past few weeks have been extremely challenging and downright depressing. We have seen and experienced too many deaths due to Covid-19. I have been witness to several business owner-friends and clients that died without a succession plan, throwing the business ...

Scientists in China took a closer look at the role of defects in limiting the performance of perovskite solar cells, demonstrating a screening effect that could be tuned to make material defects "invisible" to charge carriers, greatly improving cell performance. Using this approach they demonstrate a 22% efficient inverted perovskite solar cell, and theorize several new pathways to even higher performance.

While scientists have quickly pushed the efficiency of perovskite solar cellsto levels that rival or even surpass some of today's commercial technologies, gaining a full understanding of all the mechanisms at work within the material will be ...

The ROFs and OFWS will undergo the RT-PCR test for Covid-19 only on the sixth day upon their arrival in the country under this new whole-of-nation protocol that the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases issued.
