Noong Hulyo 31, isang dog walker ang nakakita sa kaniyang katawan. “It’s taken 17 days to find him and I can’t see his body as it’s too decomposed. It’s so hard.

Seeds of London Stock Exchange deal planted at flower show
LONDON/NEW YORK: The London Stock Exchange Group Plc’s expected US$27 billion purchase of financial-data business Refinitiv has its origins in May 2013, amid the crocuses, champagne and corporate hobnobbing of London’s Chelsea Flower Show.Italian investment banker Matteo Canonaco brokered an introduction between David Craig, who at the time ran Thomson Reuters Corp’s Financial and Risk division, the company that became Refinitiv last year, and Joseph Baratta, head of private equity at Blackstone Group Inc . The meeting would set in motion a sequence of events involving Blackstone, Refinitiv and the LSE that led to a deal expected as soon as this week.Craig and Canonaco, who now runs advisory firm Canson Capital Partners, pitched Baratta with an idea: The F&R unit would be better off split from Thomson Reuters, where the duo felt it was not getting enough investment, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the matter.In order to do that they would … [Read more...] about Seeds of London Stock Exchange deal planted at flower show
Sterling tumbles on Brexit woes as London stocks soar
LONDON: The pound fell to levels not seen in over two years on Monday (Jul 29) as a no-deal Brexit seemed ever more likely, while London stocks surged thanks to bubbling takeover activity."The British pound started weakening sharply today, with the market awaking to the reality of a new UK government, its rather combative stance on the current EU-UK Brexit deal and its open remarks on the rising probability of a no deal Brexit," said ING strategist Petr Krpata.Calling the fall a "meltdown", Krpata said sterling's woes were unlikely to be over, as "politics should remain the key negative for sterling in the months to come".Monday's level in terms of the dollar was the worst since March 2017.Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed to lead Britain out of the EU on Oct 31 even if this means doing so without a divorce agreement.On Monday he urged EU leaders to drop their opposition to renegotiating Brexit.'WRONG FOOT'"The pound has gotten off on the wrong foot at the start of the … [Read more...] about Sterling tumbles on Brexit woes as London stocks soar

London revisited
SHOOTING STRAIGHT - Bobit S. Avila (The Philippine Star) - May 14, 2019 - 12:00am LONDON: Yes we left Cebu last Saturday morning to fly to Manila to take my PAL PR 2824 direct for a 13-hour flight to London. It was to be the second time for me to fly PAL’s newest Airbus A-350-900 (the first one was last July when we flew the first A-350-900 from Toulouse, France to Manila) and as expected the flight did not disappoint! I didn’t waste time sleeping (this was my way to fight jet lag) by watching five movies. Arriving at night in London, we got stuck in the immigration in Heathrow Terminal 2 for nearly an hour and a half. There must have been some 6,000 passengers lining up to get into the immigration booths and that took more than an hour. I’ve been to London three times already. The last time was last year when we flew there and on the next day we flew to Toulouse to secure the first Airbus A-350-900 last July. But in all my London … [Read more...] about London revisited
