There have been many instances of free falling blocks, of booms crashing to the deck and even cranes breaking from the bullring of the crane.

TACLOBAN CITY — The local government here will no longer borrow money from the bank to rehabilitate the Leyte Park Resort Hotel. 'I went to Landbank two weeks ago to tell them that we don't need the loan because we have enough money,' said Mayor Alfred Romualdez on Thursday, June 1. This is in contrast to an earlier plan of the city government to secure a P500 million from the Landbank of the Philippines to renovate the Leyte Park Resort Hotel. The city government was able to get the go signal from the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), an attached agency of the Department of Tourism which has a stake of the 6.

The seasoned Angelo Que and young Ira Alido took different routes in shooting four-under-par 68s on Tuesday to share a one-shot lead over four players as a mix of veterans and a rookie crowded the leaders after one round of the P2 million ICTSI Valley Golf Challenge at the complex' South course in Antipolo. Alido was flawless in churning out a couple of 34s over the tree-lined layout, while Que needed to drain a 30-foot putt for birdie on the par-3 closing hole to salvage a round that almost went south after consecutive bogeys from No.

Plant geneticists have identified a mutation in a gene that causes the "weeping" architecture - branches growing downwards - in apple trees, a finding that could improve orchard fruit production. For more than a century, growers have tied down apple branches when trees are young, in order to improve crop productivity. More research is needed to understand the mechanism for why branch bending improves yields, but studies have shown that the practice helps apple trees allocate more resources such as carbon and other nutrients toward reproductive growth (flowering and fruiting) than toward vegetative growth (branches and leaves).

THE Chinese Honqi car brand was formally introduced to the market a couple of weeks ago and it was quite impressive. The showroom is in the high class area of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and covers some 1,000 square meters of space. The launch was pretty impressive with a marching band and uniformed people introducing the cars as it paraded along the streets of BGC. It was reminiscent of a Chinese military parade, but that is not a surprise. The Honqi brand is China's very first foray into building cars.
