HONG KONG  – Most Asian stocks fell on Tuesday, while the U.S. dollar and oil steadied, as investors held safe ranges awaiting more clues on whether central banks will continue their aggressive interest rate hikes. Market conditions were also subdued heading into the U.S. Independence Day public holiday on Tuesday, with most of Wall Street closed. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.1 percent, by Tuesday mid-morning. Australian shares were mostly flat, as investors waited to see whether the central bank will tighten again when it announces a policy decision later in the day.

One of the noticeable advantages that make life so much better in developed countries is their very efficient public transportation system. I went to Europe last week for work and a few days of leisure, and it gave me the opportunity to travel within and between some of its cities through trains, trams, and buses. And what an experience it was that elicited both envy and rumination on why our leaders have not embarked on having the same kind of transportation convenience for our country. With the many conferences and meetings they attend abroad, our leaders should notice the efficient public transport network enjoyed by first world countries.

More than a decade ago, jet-lagged textile expert Juan Hinestroza landed in Xintang, China, and took a walk near a large creek. He noticed the water was a strange color - indigo blue, from highly toxic dyes, pigments and finishes dumped from a neighboring textile factory. "People's faces appeared blue. The houses were blue. The air was blue. Textile plants throw contaminants in the rivers - where people swim, where people get their drinking and cooking water," says Hinestroza , the Rebecca Q. Morgan '60 Professor of Fiber Science and Apparel Design in the College of Human Ecology.

MANILA, Philippines — Former senator Leila de Lima is over the moon after she was cleared of two of three drug cases filed against her during the Duterte administration. But, she said, the fight for justice is far from over. Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 204 on Friday acquitted de Lima and her aide Ronnie Dayan, of involvement in the illegal drug trade. They were accused of conspiracy to commit illegal drug trading as the former justice chief allegedly received P10 million from former corrections chief Rafael Ragos to finance her 2016 senatorial bid.
