Hotlines, Volunteer Corps and Fund Drives for Typhoon Pedring Victims in the Philippines
Tropical Typhoon Pedring hits the Philippines and made a landfall on Luzon at Aurora and Isabela early today bringing huge floods in Metro Manila and other areas in Luzon.
Thousands of night workers and those who went to school and offices in the morning were still stranded and unrescued. Major highways were shut down due to floods and aftermaths of the typhoon. NAIA terminals have also cancelled flights and domestic flights around the country were stopped.
In some areas near the biggest dams in the metro which overflowed, the floods have reached up to six feet.

Pacquiao vs Mosley Stats, Specs, Preview
Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley Stats, Specs, Preview – Shane Mosley has 46 wins, 6 losses and 39 KOs while Pacquiao has 52 wins, 3 losses and 38 wins by KO. Pacquiao will be defending his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Mosley, who is aching for a victory following lackluster ring performances in his last few fights.
Pacquiao won the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight championship-his record eighth world title in as many weight divisions-last November via dominant unanimous decision over three-time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Pacquiao captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title in November 2009 with a brilliant 12th-round knockout of four-time world champion Miguel Cotto.
As usual, Pacquiao will be using his tried and tested advantage in speed and power to defeat Mosley. This is Pacquiao‘s main weapon when he brought down some of the best fighters of his time. His victims are Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito. But despite Manny’s perceived advantages, he’s remained wary of Mosley’s capabilities.
On the other hand, Shane Mosley is relying on his experience, also his speed and power against Pacquiao.

Where Are Some Of The World's Smallest Hospitals In The World Located?
When considering the world’s smallest hospitals, one must think about what qualifies as a hospital. In its most basic form, a hospital is any place that provides medical care to a patient. Hospitals can be temporary, permanent, small, or enormous. Hospitals train premier medical professionals and develop the most advanced surgical procedures. However, not every hospital has extensive teaching facilities or state of the art equipment. A hospital also functions as a place where a patient can receive basic first aid or visit a doctor.
Every country has both cities and rural areas. Cities normally have the largest, most developed, highly funded hospitals. When searching for the world’s smallest hospitals, look in the most remote, rural areas of the world. There are no emergency wings for the smallest of the small hospitals. These hospitals have miniscule staff, if lucky there is a doctor on occasion. Resources are slim and equipment and supplies are often only shipped in once or twice a year. Communities that have the smallest hospitals may not have access to endless supplies of first aid materials, antibiotics, or even fresh water. However, without these tiny hospitals, the ill or injured in remote areas would have no hope for any sort of treatment, no matter how primitive the treatment.
Each year, rankings are released for the largest, most recognized hospitals around the world. How are hospitals that have no electricity or phone service to be counted? There is no published annual listing that includes the tiny one bed hospital in central Nicaragua or the tented hospitals in Haiti and other countries affected by natural disasters. The people who run these hospitals and the aid organizations that provide much needed medical equipment and supplies are essential to the well being of those impacted. Without these small hospitals, hundreds of thousands of people would be denied access to emergency care and long term medical aid.
However, there are a few small hospitals with unique stories that do attract the attention of the world. For example, in India, there is a tiny, one bed hospital that has the ability to perform surgeries and provide excellent service to those who would otherwise have no access to great medical care. This hospital is Farishta – The Moving Mobile Hospital of India. Touted as the smallest hospital in the world, this little moving mobile opens the door for innovative small hospitals to share the story of the huge impact they have on the world.
In conclusion, while there is no Top 10 list of the smallest hospitals in the world, we can see that the smallest hospitals are located in the most rural, damaged, and remote areas of the world. They are able to provide an unprecedented amount of innovative care using minimal resources.

Philippine Elections 2010 Results Predictions
Tomorrow, I will be casting my vote for the first time in the national elections. This, in my eyes, have been the most controversial, most discussed one ever since my birth. Since you know already who I am voting for this coming elections, then I won’t waste my time listing them down here as most of the reasons why I am voting for them is similar to each other.
That is why I came up with an idea on trying to predict the Philippine Elections 2010 Results.
For the presidency, a lot of people may be mislead to vote for Noynoy Aquino, the leading candidate. However, it appears to me that his lead which is very apparent in NCR might not translate with the votes in other parts of the country. When people in the province are asked, those with solid party foundations in the local government units lead the roll – something good for the administration bet Gilbert Teodoro and Nacionalista party frontier Manny Villar. With that said, as of the moment, I am expecting a three-way race to the presidency between Noynoy Aquino, Manny Villar and Gibo Teodoro.
With a margin of error of 2%, I made myself a list of probable sharing of votes in each of the regions of the country, just for fun and my list ended up with the following results with Gibo Teodoro possibly lower, as I assumed that the Mindanao votes are on his side along with Manny Villar. Visayas is definitely going for Gibo with almost equal following from Noynoy and Villar. The North vote was also considered – the places known to be in the side of Villar and the NCR and neighboring regions vote which was accounted to Noynoy Aquino.
Aquino, Noynoy – 29.94%
Villar, Manny – 29.16%
Teodoro, Gilbert – 24.60%
Estrada, Erap – 9.44%
Gordon, Dick – 4.78%
Villanueva, Eddie – 2.67%
Madrigal, Jamby – 1.36%
Delos Reyes, JC – 0.22%
Perlas, Nicanor – 0.18%
The work was tedious. This forecasting is very difficult to do. For the Vice-President position, the race is between two candidates Mar Roxas and Jejomar Binay – this boils down to the inclination of the Visayas and Mindanao votes. But for me, the Philippine Elections 2010 Results for Vice-President would be an upset win for Jejomar Binay with a close margin against Mar Roxas.
A lot of factors can affect the 2010 Philippine Elections Results especially for President and Vice-President as this will be the first year for the automated system to get on track. I fear of people losing their rights to vote just because of ignorance. I hope that the Filipinos are well-prepared to vote in this kind of system. I also hope that the Philippine 2010 Elections Results especially for the Vice-President and President positions will be released early and will be transparent enough as this the most crucial decision Filipinos will ever make.
Lastly, I pray that this 2010 Philippine Elections, both local and national levels, would be a peaceful one. Days before this, I was starting to feel bad vibes and possible bloodsheds this coming elections – I hope for safety of all and hopefully, our country will be lead by the best leaders with the true mandate of the Filipino people.
