Fast-food for the Fast-world

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:56:55 -0600

Most of Filipinos today have come to love eating at fast-food restaurants. The reason for this is because the world is moving so fast that we need to keep up with it to live, especially in the Philippines. From the business world to education and from our everyday lifestyle, all is on fast motion, which is why we are left with no other choice but to eat fast and go. Fast-food restaurants are built for this kind of reason, which is why many brands of fast-food restaurants are starting to come out from anywhere in the Philippines. The most popular fast-food restaurants that Filipinos commonly go to are Burger King, Wendy's, and the ever so popular McDonalds. But mostly, Filipinos usually go to the only fast-food restaurant founded on Philippine soil, the Jollibee.

Dangerous Fake Medicine in Pakistan

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:05:04 -0600

Pakistan's public healthcare system is already overstretched and inefficient and this problem is being further compounded by the unlawful practice carried out by unqualified doctors. Fake or under-qualified 'medical practitioners' are an inevitable menace in a country where the needs of a largely uneducated population are addressed by an overstretched and inefficient public healthcare system. The state's poor record in prosecuting such offenders means that these quacks routinely fleece citizens and endanger their lives. A case in point is Muzaffargarh where, according to data collected by an NGO, no less than , such charlatans are operating. Their business flourishes partly because of aggressive marketing, including the daily distribution of thousands of pamphlets, advertisements on cable television networks and graffiti. But their exploitative trade also exists because an apathetic health department rarely inquires into the legitimacy of a medic's credentials. A multi-pronged ap...
