on Adel Tamano's Final Perspective

My evening television fare for Thursday and Friday is not complete without going to ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC). I've been watching the Tamano Perspective on Thursdays for quite a while, if I find myself still awake. It's a really entertaining and educational show because it provides digests of a week's worth of news, explanations of opposing sides of current issues, and Mr Adel Tamano's own opinion about the topics tackled in his show. I was surprised that this week's episode is the final one, aptly labeled Tamano's Final Perspective.

What is Adel Tamano's final perspective as he closes his show's run?

1. Prioritize family. 
I knew him, before I watched his show, as the lawyer representing a famous dermatologist in the Philippines and as a former political candidate. It was refreshing to see him (and the episode's host, Karen Davila) open up about his perspective on taking care of a special child. As he talked a bit about the child's diet and his family life, I get the notion that he is a hands-on father; not one of the tv lawyer stereotypes who are too busy at work. He even said that his family is one of the reasons behind his move to the corporate world.
2. Focus is key to success.
Don't spread yourself thin. That's important in making sure that one's efforts are always the best one can deliver. This is basically what Adel Tamano said as he responded to Karen Davila's question: couldn't he do both his corporate tasks and his ANC assignment at the same time? He said that in the Tamano Perspective, he puts a lot of himself into the show, including behind the scenes (if the audience only knew). If he were to continue it while doing his corporate work, it wouldn't be fair to both ANC and his new employer.
3. Maintain bridges. 
Don't burn them. It's obvious that he loved his run at ANC and the people behind the camera loved working with him too. As he moves to his next big project, he expressed his gratitude to the people at ANC. That is a good example of leaving a company with bridges intact.
That episode was a great way to close the show. It truly was all about Tamano's Final (on-air) Perspective.

10 things I learned while driving on Marcos Highway to Baguio City

I went on a day trip to the City of Pines, which was around a 700-km drive from my house. I drove  going up there and then from the city to Victoria, Tarlac. After that, my dad took over the driving duties. It was day trip with Tita Ising and Tito Sibing with us. Anyway, this trip was my first time to go to Baguio City with me behind the wheel. As everyone who drives up knows, there are three main routes to Baguio from the lowlands: Kennon Road, which ascends from Rosario, La Union. It was out of my options because it's too dangerous to use that road in the rainy season. The second route is via Naguilian Road, which makes my trip a lot longer because the beginning of the ascent is in Bauang, La Union (further north). The last route, and the one I took, was the Marcos Highway, now known as the Aspiras-Palispis Highway. This 47-km road starts from Agoo, La Union and is touted as the safest route among the three.  As I drove up and then down (on the same day; we were in Bagu

How MALDI-TOF-MS makes mycobacterium diagnosis faster and more accurate

The laboratory I work in has plenty of instruments that help us characterise and identify microorganisms causing diseases in patients. One of my current projects is to validate an instrument called "matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometer" (MALDI-TOF-MS) in identifying members of the Mycobacterium  species. Many of these organisms are opportunistic, meaning they only cause illnesses in people whose immune systems are not strong enough to fight infections. Mycobacterium leprae  is known for causing leprosy, but we cannot grow this bacterium in culture media, so we cannot isolate it. Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex, on the other hand, is a group of several species of Mycobacterium  that causes tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a disease that killed 1.6 million people in 2021 alone. It is a leading cause of death globally, second only to COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Identifying the Mycobacterium species that has infected a patient is

a crash course on traditional Filipino houses

On Dr Jose Rizal's birthday this year, I was back in historic Manila with Ate Bing, Ate Mary , and Manuel . But instead of visiting him, we opted to soak up on Philippine culture. Our first stop: the Cultural Center of the Philippines ' (CCP) Museo ng Kalinangang Pilipino .  Aside from the musical instruments, I noticed the dioramas about Filipino homes. Filipinos living by the sea (the 'sea gypsies', Sama Dilaut or Badjao ) have boathouses; those who live in the mountains, like the Bagobos , have developed interconnected houses in the trees; Filipinos who live along the path of the strongest typhoon winds, such as the Ivatans , have developed houses of thick limestone walls; and people who live in calmer conditions used bamboo and nipa to construct their houses, like the lowlanders and the Agtas . Sama Dilaut 'lepa' and houses on stilts (in the background) Ivatan limestone house nipa hut Ifugao 'fale' Maranao '
