Boracay Water, in support of good health and tourism, recently installed drinking fountains in several of the most accessed places in Boracay to provide clean, safe, potable water to residents and tourists.
Ben Manosca, general manager of Boracay Water said that this project highlights the company’s dedication to make potable water accessible and readily available for everyone.
“In doing this, we would like to protect tourist and residents from water borne diseases and other potential health challenges as the Island braces itself for bigger economic and tourism potential,” added Manosca.
As part of the company’s Lingap Drinking Fountain Project, three drinking fountains were installed in D’Mall, Cagban Jetty Port, and D’Talipapa.

WD®, a Western Digital company and storage industry leader, today announced the expansion of its award-winning WD Purple™ line of 3.5-inch hard drives for video surveillance applications, with the release of the 6 TB capacity.

Available today, WD Purple hard drives are being offered in capacities from 1 TB up to 6 TB.

WD Purple hard drives are equipped with exclusive WD technologies, including:

Built for seamless integration into new or existing video surveillance systems, WD Purple hard drives are designed and tested to surveillance-class standards and are compatible with industry-leading chassis and chip-sets. First introduced in February 2014 with the launch of WD Purple, WD worked closely with surveillance partners to develop a proprietary benchmark to define and demonstrate performance in surveillance systems. Tests of WD Purple hard drives indicate superior performance to competitive surveillance-class brands of storage, especially as cameras, channel count and workloads increase.

"Kuya" is a Filipino term of endearment and respect used for a male older than you and especially that you are close with. So you can call your older male brother, cousin, older male friend. Someone who takes care of you, protect you and trying everything he can, gives you something you want.

The Department of Education (DepEd) signed a memorandum of agreement with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the construction of around 1,500 classrooms worth P2B.
“Our vision is to be a pillar of national development in investing in education. Over the past years, PAGCOR has made substantial changes to ensure that part of vision is really implemented,” DepEd Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC said.
Luistro expressed his gratitude to the agencies that continue to help in ensuring that “Filipino students get what they deserve.” He said, “We want to thank PAGCOR for being the biggest and most consistent partner in substantially investing in education, and DPWH for ensuring that school buildings will have building integrity.”
“Classrooms are the most basic social infrastructure that we should continue to provide all over the country,” DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson said. He added that DPWH will deliver their commitment in building classrooms that are safe and beneficial for the students.
PAGCOR Chairman Cristino Naguiat, Jr. said, “Kami ay nagagalak na kami ay kabahagi kami ng DepEd para sa aming project na “Matuwid na Daan para sa Paaraalan.” Naguiat reiterated PAGCOR’s commitment in the continued delivery of education to the learners.
He said that PAGCOR believes that the future of the country lies in the youth. “The classrooms we are going to build are for them. Tuluy-tuloy po ang ating pagtulong sa DepEd. Hindi po tayo nagtatapos dito. Makakaasa po kayo na may karagdagan pa ito—either sa school buildings or computers. Let us work together for the dreams of our youth to be realized.”
The classrooms to be built will be constructed by DPHW in accordance to the “build-back better” design with specific PAGCOR design elements. PAGCOR shall designate certain locations based on DepEd’s data on classroom needs which will be prioritized for the construction of classrooms.
