Miriam says ‘infant killers’ in BOC should be identified, prosecuted

MANILA, Philippines - Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Monday called as “infant killers” the Customs officials responsible for the entry of melamine-laced milk and other tainted food products into the country.

Santiago on Monday filed Resolution 694 seeking to identify, prosecute and dismiss from service the Customs officials who "obviously failed to stop smuggling of melamine-positive milk products, and instead may have profited illegally from it."

"Biro mo kung hindi agad na-alert ang ating bansa, naipainom sana iyon sa mga Pilipinong sanggol at namatay rin sila. Kaya ang mga ito, mga infant killers, hindi lang dapat sila i-condemn kundi dapat alamin kung sino sa kanila ang mga sala diyan," Santiago told reporters.

(“If we were not alerted of the presence of melamine-laced milk, it could have been distributed to the Filipino children and they too could have died. So these infant killers should not only be condemned but should also be identified.”)

Fastest-Growing Industries

Amid all the gloomy talk of recession, layoffs, and continued financial turmoil, there are some sectors where more jobs will be created over the next few years.

That's according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) latest 10-year outlook for job creation. Though it was prepared before the recent chaos in markets and banking, the forecast still makes some reasonably valid assumptions.

Among them: consultancy. Companies will still need outside guidance in crafting their decision-making, no matter how troubled the industry, so think about getting into management or scientific or technical consulting. The BLS says these kinds of high-paying (an average $467,000 annually) jobs will increase to 1.6 million by 2016, up from 920,000 in 2006.
