2014 Suzuki Solio

2014 Suzuki Solio

This is the second Suzuki vehicle to be equipped with the Japanese automaker's DUAL JET ENGINE since the Swift earlier this year. The 2014 Suzuki Solio, aside from its styling updates that makes it more of a facelift, now comes with the 1.2L K12B DUAL JET engine which produces 91PS of power and 118Nm of torque. To recall, the dual injection system on its 1.2L petrol engine works by increasing vaporization, making combustion more efficient. It channels fuel to two intake ports instead of only one per cylinder.

Aside from the DUAL JET ENGINE, it even comes with a regenerative braking mechanism and an idling stop system. Put all these together and you'll have class-leading fuel economy of 25.4kmpl in the Japanese JC08 driving cycle, exempting the car from all taxes.

The 2014 Solio costs from 1,382,850 to 1,903,650 Japanese Yen.

Seahawks player carries Philippine flag upside down

Seahawks player carries Philippine flag upside down

When a Philippine flag with the red stripe flown upwards, it means the country is in a state of war. However, we're not in a state of war, we're in a middle of state of national calamity due to Superstorm Yolanda/Haiyan and that mistake happened when Seattle Seahawks' Doug Baldwin carried that flag backwards.

When a netizen questioned such mistake, the official Seattle Seahawks' Twitter responded that they're "fighting the devastation of Haiyan which has been worse than many war-torn regions of the world." They're right. The devastation caused by the superstorm last week really is worse than any war-torn regions in the world but anyway, during the match between the Seahawks vs. the Vikings in the NFL, Seahawks started a fundraiser among its supporters for the typhoon-stricken Visayas, having solicited over $24,000 for the relief operations to be coursed through the Red Cross in Washington.

SUPERSTORM YOLANDA: This is what Pinoy politicians do during a tragedy

Someone from Hong Kong posted something from CNN's iReport page, a page where everyone's a reporter by posting something about what's going on around the world, about what Pinoy politicians do during the aftermath of Superstorm Yolanda/Haiyan. A netizen pointed out that President Noynoy Aquino, Vice President Jejomar Binay, the ABS-CBN reporter who clashed recently with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Korina Sanchez, and others are busy positioning themselves for elections there.

The catch? Here's the quote: "Talk about corrupt politicians and their wives taking advantage of the dead and the injured, and the outpouring of aid into the country to advance their political causes."
