I was wondering if you are aware of the peril that the PICOP plant and lumber mill in Mangagoy, Bislig City is to the residents. Unfortunately, it is a two edged sword because the residents need the work but the very employment which lets them survive is killing them in their water, air and general health. Outrageous statistics for respatory, tb and cancer are recorded here. Rev. Fr. Florio Falcon (who does not advocate closing the plant) wants the government to enforce the environmental laws being ignored and broken to assist the health of the residents. Company goons have denounced and threatened to murder him. It is a serious and sad situation all around. You may find him at St. Vincent de Paul parish in Mangagoy. Friends have asked me to see if I can get this story to the attention of the NYT, etc. I though it best to come to you as I have read your byline in NYC Sincerely, Frank

carlos: i don’t know if you are aware of the controversial sale of $510 million worth of pldt shares. this is being questioned before the supreme court for its alleged violation of the constitutional provision on foreign ownership of domestic public utilities. pldt is listed in the new york stock exchange. but it has been violating many laws, including the provision on foreign ownership. the dal macks of high level graft. the shares are worth over and aobe the slling price, but the government inwhat appeared to be a conspiracy with first pacific officials proceeded with the controversial sale, causing tremendous loss of revenues for the philippine government. it is also worthwhile to note that first pacific has built a long web of corruption in the philippines. allow me to suggest that you work carefully on how the tainted indonesian money has found its way to the philippines. more power to you and best regards.

Great article on aspartame, far better and more comprehensive that one could ever find in the mainstream US Media, which is either afriad to take on this issue, or has been bribed and cajoled and sweet-talked and lobbied and influenced not to do so.
I have to quickly respond to the Calorie Control Council’s allegations, about no scientific or medical expertise among those who testify against Aspartame’s proven neurodenerative effects. They include:
Internist HJ Roberts, M.D. in Florida
Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., in Mississippi
Psychiatrist Ralph Walton, M.D., in Ohio and Pennsylvania
Pediatrician Kenneth Stoller, M.D., in New Mexico
The aspartame molecule is metabolized as methanol, formaldehyde, and a proven brain tumor causing agent called DIKETOPIPERAZINE, so of course it will have a harmful medical effect, no matter how many spin doctors, rent-a-toxicologists (like Coca Cola did very recently in New Zealand, another nation considering banning Aspartame), or advertisements in Manila papers the industry and its infernal lobbyist hired-guns take out.
If these names or chemicals are unknown to you, just google them. The two most important articles are these and
Mr. Conde was right to mention the video; the entire 90 minute video is on line and free, titled SWEET MISERY. No one was paid to make this film; it was created by a documentary film maker in Tucson Arizona, Cori Brackett, after she recovered from advanced multiple sclerosis after just quitting diet cokes!
Take the time to watch this video, and then take the time to recommend it your friends and relatives, especially the diabetics, who are the last people on earth who should be ingesting formaldehyde and methanol, in view of their damaged pancreas.
The best update of all is to go to the Hawaii Legislature website, check Bills and Documents, then request the text of Hawaii Senate Concurrent Resolution 191, 2008, then read it. That is what will be coming next in both Hawaii and New Mexico starting with the 2009 Legislative Sessions in January 2009.
Let’s hope Obama appoints someone brilliant and a true consumer protectionist at the FDA, like Dr. Howard Dean, M.D.
