Today is a very special day of the century.
The date — February 2, 2020, or 02/02/2020 — is a palindrome date, meaning it reads the same forwards as it does backward.
According to a report by Wshungton Post, this special sequence will only occur this century.
The last time such a palindrome date occurred was 909 years ago on 11/11/1111.
It won’t happen again for another 101 years, when the calendar turns to 12/12/2121.
According to a study, the average life expectancy in the Philippines is around 71 years old, but three women from Tagbilaran City, Bohol, surpassed it. They shared a bit about themselves and their experiences of a century of living.
The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Equipment Management Division (EMD) turned over 23 newly procured excavators for the Visayas Island Group.
The province of Bohol posted two more deaths related to the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), that brought the number of fatalities to 22.
