Sinabi ni Dr. Luningning Villa, program manager ng DOH, umpisa ngayong Nobyembre ay magbabalikan na ang mga OFW buhat sa ibang bansa. Nararapat umano na tiyakin ng pamahalaan na hindi tayo malulusutan ng mga kababayan natin na posibleng may taglay na H5N1 virus.

Why, then, you may ask, is there no respite from the heat?


"It’s the greenhouse effect created by clouds suspended about three to five kilometers in the atmosphere," meteorologist Nonoy About of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) told The STAR.
