| This is a Palawan shrew that looks like the newly discovered one |
Recently, another mountain shrew that scientist confirmed is unknown to science and three new species of plants were discovered in Palawan. A Filipino scientist said that the newly discovered shrew is the second species of its kind that can only be found in the province. It has small eyes, long sharp snout, and a soft, downy fur.

On the other hand, one of the newly discovered plants was described as an orchid “having a beautiful set of white flowers with golden lip petals.” The orchid was found 1,700 meters above sea level in the stunted summit of the mountain. Click HERE to read the complete article.
Romeo Trono, country director of Conservational International Philippines said, “These noteworthy discoveries and rediscoveries on Mt. Mantalingahan will further strengthen the justification for our recommendation to have this important center of endemism in Palawan declared as protected area,”
There were several discoveries in the Philippines and in the island of Palawan alone. With several discoveries of flora and fauna in Palawan year after year, it is truly safe to say that Palawan is the Last Frontier of the Philippines.

Hi,
I represent Emerson Climate Technologies and am writing to you today about an industry award The Emerson Cup, held to recognize talent and reward excellence in the architecture industry as well as real estate developers, project managers, HVAC consultants, and even students starting this year!
There are 5 award categories for various types of building/applications - New Buildings (Residential and Commercial), Special Applications (Data centers, clean rooms etc), Retail & Refrigeration (Supermarkets, cold rooms etc), Retrofit (Heritage, other functional buildings where A/C has been added/replaced) and for students of architecture and engineering– any ideas that can reduce the carbon footprint of your institute/school.
The Cup invites entries from anyone who has designed, made, managed, works in or studies in any of the buildings that falls under the 5 categories.
