But it hit me Sunday – the notice that the annual retreat of the trade ministers of the 10 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members had been transferred from Boracay to Manila.


Now I wonder who suffered the most from that — Boracay or the ministers and their staffers and families?

And schistosomiasis, a blood fluke infection, ranks second to malaria in terms of public health importance.
