Vilma Santos and director Chito Roño recall fondly their nearly three-decade-old film
‘Bata, Bata, Paano Ka Ginawa?’ was not Vilma Santos’ first project with direk Chito Roño. They earlier worked together in the drama thriller, ‘Ikaw Lang’ (1993), with Cesar Montano and Ronnie Ricketts. Since the rights to the story Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa? by Lualhati Bautista were earlier acquired by Viva Films, the director shares, ‘I convinced Malou Santos of Star Cinema to buy the rights of (it) from Viva. So, the project went to us and it was Ate Vi, of course, who starred in the film. In fact, 10 years after we did the film, Lea Bustamante pa rin ang pangalan ni Ate Vi sa phone ko.’.....»»
Entrepreneurial friendship
Even before the Spaniards landed on our shores in 1521, the Philippines was already actively trading with its Southeast Asian neighbors, along with the Ryukyu Islands (now known as Okinawa, Japan) and, of course, China.

Energy policy failure
The Department of Energy has revealed that the total capacity of power plants in forced outages has more than doubled over the past two weeks compared to the average 700 MW recorded over the last four years.
