WE find it both mind-boggling and tragic that some people remain hesitant to get Covid-19 vaccine these days. Just about every concern raised should already be allayed by health experts. Many of them may be frustrated about having to repeat their reassurances again and again. This is no small matter given the stubborn disbelief about the safety and efficacy of vaccines threatens to prolong the pandemic and make the economic impact worse. First, the issue about brand preferences seems misplaced. As experts said, the best vaccine is the one available. This was an issue before when various vaccines were in development. Different clinical trials were reporting efficacy rates, and brands with higher numbers became early favorites. Others, particularly Sinovac, were frowned upon simply because they reported lower figures. Now that few vaccines have been rolled out, what matters is its performance. More than 870 million people worldwide received at least a shot. Some complain ... » Learn More about Benefits of Covid jabs far outweigh the risks

PARIS: The pandemic has torn a multibillion-dollar bite out of the fabric of Europe’s fashion industry, stopped runway shows and forced brands to show their designs digitally instead. Now, amid hopes of a return to near-normality by the year’s end, the industry is asking what fashion will look like as it dusts itself off and struggles to its well-heeled feet again. Answers vary. Some think the Fashion Week format, in use since the 1940s, will be radically rethought. Others believe Asia will consolidate its huge gains in influence. Many see brands seeking greater sustainability to court a younger clientele. “The impact of the pandemic will be unquestionably to increase the importance and influence of Asia on fashion,” said Gildas Minvielle, economist at the Institut Francais de la Mode in Paris. “Luxury in Europe has already rebounded but it’s only because it’s globalized, only because of Asian buyers,” Minvielle said. “They spent on European brands.” Asian buyers are still ... » Learn More about Fashion industry evolves as Covid forces rethinking

WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday (Apr 14) it's "time to end" America's longest war with the unconditional withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, where they have spent two decades in a bloody, increasingly futile battle against the Taliban. Dubbed the "forever war", the US military onslaught in Afghanistan began in response to the Sep 11, 2001 attacks against the United States. Now, 20 years later - after almost 2,400 US military and tens of thousands of Afghan deaths - Biden named Sep 11 as the deadline by which the last US soldiers will have finally departed. The pullout will begin on May 1. In a nationally televised address, Biden said the United States had accomplished its limited original mission of crushing the international jihadist groups behind the 9/11 attacks and that with every passing year the rationale for staying was "increasingly unclear". Biden insisted there would be no "hasty exit", but he was adamant about his decision. "A horrific ... » Learn More about ‘It’s time to end the forever war’: US withdrawal from Afghanistan to begin on May 1

Written by: Tina Arceo-Dumlao The Ayala Group was just going back to its roots when it reentered the Philippines’ healthcare sector with the acquisition of the Generika drugstores and establishment of AC Health in 2015, 180 years since the group started out with Botica Zobel. That was a big leap forward for the group that has long been committed to investing in social infrastructure and human capital. And it has proven to be a fortuitous one as just five years later, AC Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of the country’s oldest and largest conglomerate, would emerge as a key partner in the country’s urgent quest to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic that has wreaked havoc on the economy and the public health system. “While no one expected that a global pandemic will occur in 2020, we felt it was serendipitous that we invested in health care when we did,” said AC Health president Paolo Borromeo. Thus, when the pandemic struck the country hard in 2020, AC Health’s ecosystem ... » Learn More about Investing in the health of the Philippines
