[Title] => Shell surges ahead as Petron dallies
[Summary] =>
The usually media-shy Shell was in the midst of a flurry of press releases during the past week. The press item on the IPO was a non-event as it did not state anything new but was merely a reiteration of earlier statements that the eventual IPO of local Shell shares would depend on the results of studies about the refinery. This ongoing study has been Shell’s main excuse for the past two years.

[Title] => Preparing for medical and retirement tourism
[Summary] =>
Despite the well-known inadequacies of our public health system, there are a number of relatively well-run privately-owned hospitals that serve a growing number of foreigners, mostly Americans, in search of medical care. These entities are gearing to cash in on the expected boom in medical tourism.

[Title] => ‘Plunder’ at Poro Point
[Summary] =>
When doing business in the Philippines, the further you are from the center of Metro Manila, the greater your chances of being harassed by powerful local politicians. And this could very well be the case with the recent drama involving several government agencies and Bulk Handlers Inc., a private business entity that has been running the Poro Point port and bulk terminal operations for seven years now.

[Summary] =>
We have two readers who immediately sent their reactions on a recent column delving on the continuing high cost of medicines in the country ("painful scandalous medicine prices," Sept. 11, 2006). The first has requested anonymity. Below is what he sent.
"I completely agree with you with regards to the price of medicine. I would like to bring something even more mundane to your attention that is related to this subject: vitamins.

[Title] => A motorist’s perspective on biodiesel
[Summary] => As today’s title states, this particular reader took time out to conduct his own tests on biodiesel, and wrote to share his personal experience. Gerardo P. Baron used his own motor vehicles (a Nissan Terrano and a Mitsubishi Pajero) to gain some insights on how biodiesel behaves in Philippine driving conditions.
Below are parts of Baron’s letter showing how he conducted his road tests. Read on.

[Title] => Petron: Fuel disaster or fuel success?
[Summary] =>
The disaster that recently happened in Guimaras, leading to the worst oil spill in the country’s history, is unforgivable in terms of its resulting environmental damage.
The spill has desecrated a quiet province known for its sweet export mangoes and white sand beaches, lovely corals and reefs and a cacophony of sea and mangrove creatures that enabled Guimaras to attract more tourists and pull itself out of the list of the country’s 20 poorest provinces.

More than the recent brouhaha of an alleged leakage of questions in the nursing board examinations, the more alarming problem is the fact that despite the reported leakage, the passing percentage was less than 50 percent, with only 17,000 out of 42,000 examinees making the grade.

[Title] => Games of my life
[Summary] => All these years, there have been three games that I have delighted in and supported – chess, golf and poker. These have been wellsprings of long friendships, and have helped shape my values and views about a lot of things in my career as a corporate executive, and today as a businessman and journalist.
In chess, I learned the basic moves and rudiments of the game from my father. I remember how he would belt a good laugh when my King would be trapped and I would have to surrender to a checkmate just after he executed a couple of deft opening moves.
