trees to start from a seed and care for.
The size and flavor of the fruit
depend on the variety you choose, so
be sure to choose a variety you have
tasted and wished to grow.
You can grow a mango tree in a pot
to keep it small, or you can plant it
in the ground for a larger tree

juicy and exotic fruit year after
year.

4.Real-life Angel’: Actress Angel
Locsin needs no superpowers to help
out. Manila-Photos of actress Angel
Locsin giving out aid in the aftermath
of the series of Mindanao quakes have
made waves online, with people calling
her a “real –life Darna”
or a “real- life angel.” Known for
playing heroine “Darna” on screen,
Locsin has been hailed for showing
heroism off-camera having been
proactive in supporting emergency
response.
One instance was the wake of
Super Typhoon Yolanda in
November 2013 where she used
social media to call for help and
flew to the worst-hit areas to
distribute aid. And then in 2017,
Locsin
was at ground zero of the siege in
Marawi City, handling out food
packs and school supplies to those
who displaced by clashes between
government troops and terrorists.
In all the times she showed up to help,
Locsin did so without any
announcement to media, her acts just
captured by those who witnessed her
visits, posting videos and photos online.
Some 300 families were handed out
help according to the Philippine
Red Cross office in Davao Del Sur,
which had high praises for the actress.
A few months back, Locsin also opted
to skip the ABS CBN Ball and instead
directly donated her proceeds to
Bantay Bata 163, beneficiary
5.Coronavirus cases are climbing
again. So what?
With the upsurge in coronavirus cases
in the United States,
the Americas and mildly in the
Philippines. I can see some of my
readers wagging a finger at me:
“Well, what do you say now in
defense of your persistent
putdown of the lock down
strategy against the virus?”
I can construct an elaborate and
reasoned essay in answer, but I doubt if
I can improve on the blunt, almost
impudent response of the “issues and
insights” websites which has long been
for me a primary source of information
on the pandemic.
“But the rationale in the first place
could be even weaker than first
thought. The reason for this is that the
deaths now attributed to Covid-19
might be grossly
exaggerated. The evidence is
substantial and has been obvious for
weeks.
“With Covid-19 infections indeed going up
due to more testing,
we’ll soon be hearing the same strident
voices yelling for a
shutdown. “Until our national “experts” can
explain to us why
we should take these bad numbers seriously,
don’t be panicked,
by phony warnings about possible
increases in deaths.
Manipulated numbers should
never be used to make sweeping
public policy decisions.
