In recent months, the revival of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant has been floated around as several experts believe that it would greatly help in addressing the rising cost of fuel and electricity in the country.

The Department of Science and Technology has, for so many years, never wavered in its mission to provide science-based solutions to the country’s problems related to natural hazards like typhoons and earthquakes, to name a few.

According to global nutrition report (GNR), there has been slight progress towards achieving global nutrition targets in Asia. The report said that “the global target for overweight, stunting, and wasting among children under 5 years of age have several countries on course to meet it, including exclusive breastfeeding among infants aged 0 to 5 months, which has ten countries on course, while low birth weight and diabetes among women each have three countries on course. However, not a single country in the region is on course to meet the targets for anaemia in women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years old), diabetes among men, obesity among men, and obesity among women. Twenty-seven countries in the region have insufficient data to comprehensively assess their progress towards these global targets.”
