BACOLOD CITY, Negros Occidental, Philippines - Among the four requesting offices under the City Mayor's Office, it was the City Health Office that drew public attention to its budget, at least on social media, owing to the "expose" of lone opposition Councilor Wilson Gamboa Jr. that the CHO requested "sodium ascorbate with zinc" priced at P2,500.

Cancer: Let’s talk about the “C”

Austin Salameda - September 10, 2020

A Cure for cancer has been widely sought for decades since its discovery. While popular and entertainment media usually play on “evil big pharma” tropes in their stories saying cancer cure has always been here and it has always been hidden, the truth is not actually that simple.

A normal cell in the human body will go about its function, dividing into exact copies of itself in the process of mitosis until a mechanism called “contact inhibition” tells the cell (or by now the group of cells) to stop multiplying, as most of the space to grow may have been covered.

With increasing crime and anti-social elements, the security surveillance system can be a great help these days. From large scale organizations to small and medium-sized businesses, it is important to consider the accessibility of each security system.

Why do we need a surveillance system?

Internet frauds and online scams arise in recent years. Industries spend a lot to secure their network infrastructure against these cybersecurity threats. According to Statista, “Spending in the cybersecurity industry reached around 40.8 billion U.S. dollars, with forecasts suggesting that the market will eclipse 43 billion by 2020 as the best-case scenario, taking into account the coronavirus (COVID-19) impact.”
