xposure to vehicles that have faults in their conversion to Auto-Liquefied Petroleum Gas (ALPG) may cause illnesses and even lead to death, the Department of Health (DOH) warned. DOH was seeking help from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) as well as from operators and drivers of taxis/cabs converted to LPG to make sure that the conversion is precise. Based on their studies, DOH confirmed that a very minimal exposure to an insignificant amount
of gas from an ALPG tank may already severely damage health. Some of the complaints received by DOH-National Capital Region (NCR) included dizziness, throat dryness, and sudden light-headedness of passengers and drivers exposed to faultily converted LPG. Also, in their findings, it is said that exposure may result in pains in the head, back, nape, and chest; cough; fatigue; muscle pains; vomiting; difficulty of breath; and even death due to the decreased oxygen delivery in the vital body parts.

illion-dollar investments are expected to pour into Mindanao following the signing of a framework for a peace agreement between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government. “There is a significant improvement in the peace and order situation, and investments will start coming in,” Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Gregory L. Domingo said. Domingo said Davao, Cagayan de Oro City, General Santos City, Bukidnon, and some parts of Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) are expected to have investments in power, mining, manufacturing, and agriculture.
