We see the phenomenon on television, in magazines, in the movies, in the workplace and in almost every aspect of life, most particularly in our social lives.

Almost everyone wants to grow old gracefully, as the saying goes, but there’s certainly no harm in looking younger, fresher and healthier as the years pass by. Wrinkles, crow’s feet, saggy skin, sun spots, hyper pigmentation, etc. are inevitably what all women and yes, even a growing number of men nowadays, fear the most. There may be no way to stop what’s to come, but there are true, tried and tested ways to slow down the aging process.

People today fight the symptoms of aging by first understanding what contributes to an aged appearance. Prevention is essentially the key and through media and information technology, people have been starting as early as in their twenties in getting serious about taking good care of their skin and bodies. Nothing happens without sacrifice and hard work, and to fight the war against aging, one has to be patient, resourceful and most of all committed to a regimen that suits the individual.

In the quarter century since Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. was fatally shot on the tarmac of then Manila International Airport, almost every conceivable aspect has been written about his life, death and aftermath - good, bad, political, controversial, biased, investigatory- you name it. No conceivable angle could possible be new.

Notwithstanding, Enrich would be remiss if it did not honor Ninoy’s memory on the historical eve of his 25th death Anniversary this August 21, 2008. Plain and simple, Ninoy gave up seven otherwise quality years in the prime of his life, imprisoned in Manila in the ‘70s because he would not budge in iota on his convictions. In the end he made the ultimate sacrifice - in lieu of a peaceful and comfortable living on fellowship grants from two of America’s most prestigious universities, not to mention open-ended sanctuary in the United States, if he would have so chosen.

Throughout his three years in “self-exile” on American soil, Ninoy constantly insisted he would repatriate himself to his beloved Philippines. When warned of certain imprisonment or death if he did, Ninoy countered, “if it’s my fate to die by an assasin’s bullet, so be it”. Read the rest of this entry »

The Department of Energy suggests that motorists use AUTO LPG as an alternative fuel rather than gas or diesel.

What is Auto LPG?

o Auto LPG is a generic name for mixtures of hydrocarbons (mainly propane and butane) which exists as vapor under ambient conditions and can be changed into liquid state by applying moderate pressures.
o Autogas has a typical composition of 60-70% propane and 40-30% butane.
o Autogas has inherently clean burning characteristics

Why is it better to use AUTO-LPG?

1. It is almost 50% cheaper than gas.
2. There is no emission, no smoke, no carbon exhaust “smell” and the engine is quiet.
3. It is an environment friendly fuel because it has no lead content.
