Caloocan City - Archived News

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has special labeling requirements for dietary supplements and treats them as foods, not drugs.



Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

Tight Watch

For fear of a possible entry into the country of meat that is contaminated with a mad cow disease, Caloocan City Mayor Enrico has directed the city's veterinary office to watch over peddlers of beef at the city's local markets.

Echiverri cited the report from the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) and Department of Health (DOH), stating that one out of every 100 kilos of beef imported from countries such as the United States of America (USA), Canada, France and the rest of the European Union may have been "contaminated."

According to the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) and the Department of Health (DOH), one out of every 100 kilos of beef imported from these countries may be contaminated.

Also referred to as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) by veterinarians, mad cow disease attacks the brain and spinal cord of cows, therefore giving the suffering animal some “crazy” characteristics.

The stated that the disease can be acquired by man by consuming contaminated beef products. This kind of ailment is called variant Creuzfeldt-Jacob Disease (vCJD). Health experts said that mad cow disease thrives in the brain and spinal cord of cows.

The DOH said that the US Department of Agriculture recently issued a directive saying that these particular parts must be disposed of to prevent them from reaching the market place.

Health experts said that among the symptoms of vCJD are; depression, loss of coordination with motor skills, and speech defects, while other manifesta¬tions may be determined via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) but only if the disease is in the advanced stages.

Due to the threat this disease poses to one's health, Echiverri advised consumers to be very picky with the meat they buy, since the extremely hot weather can potentially ruin or contaminate other livestock meat in the market.

The local chief executive also appealed to traders not to sell meat if they are not 100 percent sure that the meat they sell is not contaminated with the this kind of disease or any other harmful disease.

Actual police work awaits desk-bound Caloocan cops

Finally, these police officers will be where the action is.

After slugging it out for years against nothing more challenging than pens, papers and computers, 50 policemen doing administrative work at the Northern Police District (NPD) headquarters in Caloocan City will now be up against the bad guys for at least one day a week.

The directive from Chief Superintendent Antonio Decano, district director, is aimed to hit two birds with one stone: To address the lack of beat patrollers in northern Metro Manila, and to ensure that no policeman is idle.

“If you’re a policeman assigned as an encoder in the office and you are done with your work, then you can just sit there and do nothing. Now, we can prevent this kind of situation from happening,” said Supt. Ferdinand del Rosario, NPD public information officer.

The policemen can now use their time productively by serving as part of the additional forces deployed to curb crimes in the cities of Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela (Camanava).

The manpower is on top of the estimated 18 policemen already deployed by stations at the local level, Del Rosario said.

He said the move was also a way to bring the Camanava police force a step closer to achieving the ideal policeman to resident ratio, or 1:500, in every city.

At present, one policeman is in charge of securing the safety of 700 to 800 residents in each locality.

“It’s really a different kind of feeling when you work outside,” said Senior Police Officer 2 Ernesto Arroz, chief clerk of the city’s police investigation unit.
