PHL 2013 growth could exceed 7% – Singapore's DBS

The recent rebound in Philippine imports suggests higher exports that could bolster Manila's economy to grow by over 7 percent this year, Singapore-based DBS Bank Ltd. said Friday.

In its latest Daily Breakfast Spread, DBS Bank — Southeast Asia's largest lender — sees the improving Philippine imports feeding domestic demand and resulting in a recovery in exports receipts.

“Not only does this point to continued strength in domestic demand remains but could be signaling further preparations by export manufacturers,” the report read, referring to the 8.7 percent annual growth in imports in July.

Nationalist entrepreneurs needed to move PHL economy forward

Nationalist entrepreneurs are needed to move the Philippine economy forward, former Finance Secretary Salvador Enriquez said in an interview with GMA News Online over the weekend.

"The economic success of any given society depends on the development of entrepreneurs," he said, adding that entrepreneurial skills have much to do with the "creation of things of value [goods or services] that people need... which makes these [things] essentially good."

The absence of [good value] in entrepreneurship would bring about "lokohan, dengoyan, and why we have  situations involving loss of billions of pesos, now being  associated to a case like  that of Janet Lim-Napoles."

Award-winning Filipino hackers bid for US and global business

SAN FRANCISCO—Time was when a hacker was regarded as a menace.

Many still remember 2000’s disastrous I Love You computer worm, allegedly unleashed unintentionally by a Filipino computer science student and which cost about $5 billion in damages worldwide and forced large corporations, the British parliament, the CIA and the Pentagon to shut down their mail systems.

But there has been a paradigm shift. Much like De La Salle and Ateneo now produce engineers and Mapua, nurses.

Hackers are no longer phreaks or society’s fringe dwellers. In fact, some of them engage in friendly competition and get into business for themselves.

Two Pinoys join race to space

Two Filipinos have been chosen to go to space camp in a bid to become the country's first astronaut.

Evan Rey Datun, a 24-year-old former hotelier, and Mario Mendoza Jr., a 31-year-old Air Force pilot from the military, have been named the winners in the recently concluded AXE Apollo National Challenge held in Bonifacio Global City last August 31.

AXE initially received over 28,000 applicants from the Philippines, a list trimmed down to 400 of the best contestants who faced physical challenges. At the event, participants went through an obstacle course to test their fitness and the hundreds were narrowed down to 52.

Aldrich Talonding and James Bucong guest on Ellen DeGeneres show

Remember Aldrich Lloyd Talonding, the YouTube sensation from General Santos City who caught Ellen Degeneres' attention? Well, the talented boy has finally graced Ellen's top rating show!

Along with his cousin, James Walter Bucong, Aldrich talked about how his life changed after their YouTube video became viral.

"People started recognizing us along the streets on in the malls. They even recognize us in the restrooms. That's weird," Aldrich said.

The short interview was followed by a heartfelt performance which rightfully deserved a standing ovation from the crowd. Luther Vandross' song "Dance with My Father" is more meaningful for the fourteen year-old after his father died in June due to non-hodgkin's lymphoma.

Ellen gave Aldrich a set of music goodies - a guitar, an amplifier, keyboard and more, not to mention a check worth $10,000!

According to a report from Associated Press, Aldrich is a son of Christian ministers and members of the B'laan indigenous group.

Other Pinoy artists who have graced the Ellen are Charice, Rhap Salazar and Zendee Rose Tenerefe.
