MANILA, Philippines — Senator Imee Marcos on Wednesday said it appears that the government is now relying on 'foreigners' for its external defense following the approval of four more Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (Edca) sites in the country. During an inquiry, Marcos, who chairs the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, reiterated that Edca's primary objective is no longer the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)'s modernization but disaster preparedness, maritime security, and counterterrorism.

Why Does the Philippines Import Rice?' was the title of a book published in 2006 by the International Rice Research Institute and Philippine Rice Research Institute, with a foreword jointly signed by then IRRI director general Robert S. Ziegler and PhilRice executive director Leocadio S. Sebastian (now undersecretary for Rice Industry Development at the Department of Agriculture). The book compiles interesting facts and analyses by rice scholars from both institutions, which remain very relevant to the raging debate on rice trade that persists today.

As stars like our sun swell in size with age, they can become large enough to engulf their inner planets. In May of this year, astronomers used the Zwicky Transient Facility, or ZTF, at Caltech's Palomar Observatory to catch one such aging star swallowing its planet whole . Our own sun is expected to similarly eat Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth, in about 5 billion years. So, when a different group of scientists found a gas giant peacefully orbiting its aging star, they were confused. The star, a red giant called 8 UMi, or Baekdu, is at the ripe old age where it should have expanded in size beyond the orbit of the planet, entirely engulfing it.
