<p>This so called &#8216;Milk Shake&#8217; is being sold in Barangay Kamagayan, Cebu City. The sale of this new drug has caught the attention of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).</p>
<p>According to the PDEA&#8217;s assets, people would prefer to buy the mixed drugs because they can save more money by using it instead of buying the two different drugs separately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alexander Landera, one of the members of the Danao City Runner Club died after falling from a window in the Mandaue City District Hospital. He died not because of the impact of falling from a hospital window but from the loss of blood from a cut in his left arm.</p>
<p>The said incident was reported to have happened an hour after Landera was brought to the hospital at 11:26 p.m.</p>
<p>When the staff were about to bring him to the emergency room, he suddenly got up and started running to different directions. He ran so fast that the staff weren&#8217;t able to catch up to him.</p>
<p>He ran past the emergency room, rammed the glass door of the delivery room which was suspected to be the cause of his cut in the left arm. After that, he went to the adjacent recovery room and climbed on the table of the suction machine and jumped out of the window.</p>

<p>The one month suspension will also mean that VJ&#038;A allows a thorough inspection of all the buses owned by them and also the capability and experience of the bus drivers working for that bus firm.</p>
<p>In a span of 20 days, this if the fourth time a major road accident in Cebu occurred. The worst one happened along the Transcentral Highway in Balamban. It killed 20 Iranians and also the Filipino driver.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The bus was going to Tuburan when it accidentally swerved off the road in Toledo City and hit a fence on the roadside. If not for the fence, the overloaded bus would have fallen further down the cliff.</p>
<p>15 people died yesterday. An infant was found in the site and appears to be unhurt. As of 10 p.m. nobody still claimed him so he was then turned over to the social workers.</p>
<p>According to the bus driver, he lost control of the brakes and there was no other way that he could take. But witnesses say that the bus was traveling at a very high speed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cebu crops, flowers and fruits are slowly feeling the effects of the El Niño Phenomenon. About 28 mountain barangays already went into record as being hit hard by the El Niño said The City Agricultural Office earlier today.</p>
<p>City Agriculturist Joel Baclayon said crop damages reached P75 million from January to the first week of April. Hardest hit were barangays Cambinucot, Paril, and Lusaran in the north and barangay Sudlon II in the south.</p>
<p>Baclayon said their office advised farmers to minimize their planting and focus instead on raising livestock.</p>
<p>PAG-ASA said that the rains are still expected by the Month of August so there is still a long way to go.</p>
