Welcome!

I’m Ellen Tordesillas, a journalist.

I will be posting in this blog my columns in Malaya, articles by VERA Files, as well as materials relevant to strengthening democracy and making life worth living.

Malaya is a daily (except Sunday) newspaper in English that has a courageous history in the Filipinos' fight against tyranny.

VERA Files is composed of veteran journalists taking a deeper look at current issues.

Thank you.
Ellen

Usapang itlog

Published by Ellen on June 27, 2010

Hindi pala masama sa puso o sa blood pressure ang itlog. Basta soft-boiled lang. Hindi yung pinirito.

Walang pruweba na ang “Noni juice” ay nakakagaling ng cancer. Wala ring pwuweba na ang mba bakuna ay ang dahilan ng autism at alzheimers disease.

Kung magkodakan, hindi cheese ang sasabihin para smiling ang labas sa litrato. “A” o “eight”, mas maganda.

Ito ang isa lang sa aking natutunan ko sa 10th midyear convention ng Philippine Society of Oncologists noong Sabado na ginanap sa Lung Center. Nakasama ako sa isang sesyun tungkol sa mga tinatawag natin ngayon na alternative medicine para sa cancer.

Cancer talk

Published by Ellen on January 21, 2010

This week has been designated “National Cancer Consciousness Week” in an effort to fight one of the top killer diseases in the country.

Being informed is one of the weapons to fight cancer.

Puerto Galera-based artist Bernadette Wolf sent an article about avoiding cancer.The article says every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.

When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.To improve one’s immune system a healthy lifestyle, which includes healthy diet, is important.
